Fluid Systems Gravel and water filter pebble is composed of sub-angular, hard, durable, and dense grains of predominately siliceous material. Extracted from a clean glacial deposit, Fluid Systems Minerals Gravel and Pebbleâ??s physical properties make it among the finest available in the world for water filtration applications. Fluid Systems water filter gravel is washed, kiln dried, and screened to meet exact in g specifications with strict adherence to quality control. Sand and gravel make good water filters because they form permeable layers. When comparing the rate of flow between different filters, it is generally found that the tighter the spaces in the filter, the slower the flow of water. These small spaces cause tiny dirt particles to be trapped in the filter media.
Fracking. We have heard the term, but do we know what it means Fracking is short for hydraulic fracturing. It's a method of extracting natural gas and oil from shale deposits deep within the earth. Water, chemicals, and sand are pumped into these shale deposits under very high pressure which causes the shale to fracture, releasing the natural gas and oil trapped within. The slurry of water, chemicals, gas, and oil are then slowly pumped back out, leaving the sand to hold the fractures open so the mixture can be removed. As the slurry of chemicals, water, sand, gas and oil is pumped back out of the ground, it is separated into its different components and stored in tanks.
Description
Frac sand gets its name from its use in hydraulic fracturing (fracking), a completion method used by oil and natural gas companies to produce natural gas, natural gas liquids, and oil from unconventional, low permeability reservoirs such as shale.
It is a high-purity quartz sand with very round grains. It is very durable and provides a crush-resistant material used in oil and gas industries for hydraulic fracturing (also called fracking).
Proppants used in the petroleum industry must meet very demanding specifications. The typical characteristics of high quality frac sand include:
High-purity silica sand a grain size that is perfectly matched to job requirements a round shape that allows it to be carried in hydraulic fracturing fluid with little turbulence durability to resist the crushing forces of closing fractures.
It comes in various sizes. It can be as small as 0.1 millimeter in diameter to over 2 millimeters in diameter. Most frac sand used in oil and gas industries are between 0.4 and 0.8 millimeters in size.
Why Frac Sand Makes a Good Proppant?
After the surface pumps are turned off, the fractures contract but do not close completely because they are propped open by billions of grains of it. This occurs when there is sufficient sand remaining in the rock to resist the force of the closing fractures.

Water Treatment Garnet solves a major filtration problem. A properly designed multi-media filter system contains filter media of large grains on top and small grains on the bottom of the filter and provides superior performance even after many backwashings. The solid substances getting into the entire filter bed result in increased solids storage, longer filter runs, and higher filtration rates. This stable condition of large grains above finer one is achieved by the use of filter material of different size and specific gravities. Garnet has a high specific gravity provides a unique filter design. Garnet, in combination with other filter media, provides higher flow rates, higher loading, and better filtration. The high hardness of Garnet reduces attrition and extends the lifetime of the filter bed and provides for years of reliable service. Garnet is an excellent support bed for other high-density media. Garnet is used in sand filters for Water Filtration with other water treatment filtration media products such as Gravel, Anthracite, Silica Sand, Birm, Pumice and Activated Carbon.
Our filter garnet is a high hardness, high-density granular filter media. It can be used extremely effectively as the lower layer in a dual media filter system â?? in conjunction with sand, gravel, and occasionally filter coal. With characteristics such as high specific gravity as well as chemical and abrasion resistance, our filter garnet is ideal for water filtration.
Garnet Features: Its weight is lighter than the rest of the surrounding rock types in the ground as a whole. Granite grains vary in size from medium to large. The rock contains silica in abundance among its ingredients. One of the most common types of rocks. It is characterized by its very high hardness. It can be relied upon in various construction works, due to its high weathering ability; Therefore, it is used in the construction of temples, palaces, and museums. It differs very beautifully thanks to the combination of colors in its formula. It also has the advantage of being an insulating material, so mica sheets are extracted from it and used in the production of electrical insulation purposes. Very well conductive of heat. It is a very durable rock.

Description
Marble Powder Calcium Carbonate is considered the second purest source of calcium carbonate in nature, where the percentage of calcium carbonate reaches 97% CaCo3. After the stage of mining and extracting raw marble from our quarries in the Kingdom, it is crushed in our crushers to get marble chips. Then sorting it from impurities, sifting it, and grinding it to get marble powder called calcium carbonate. It is used in many industries after being sifted and classified in our factories. It can also be used to equalize the pH to reach PH7 in water treatment projects.
It contains more than 19.5% of magnesium oxide and more than 29% of calcium oxide. It is less than 0.3% of silicon oxide, less than 0.7% of alumina oxide, and less than 0.1% of iron oxide, (or less than 0.03-0.04% of iron oxide for unpainted glass). Dolomite marble powder is added in sizes from 100-250 microns.
In the coating industry (paints), marble powder calcium carbonate is an essential material, as it forms from 30 - 40% of the paint components and is preferred over calcium carbonate powder due to its crystalline nature. The powder is included in the process of manufacturing paint as a filler to improve some of the paint's natural properties such as thermal resistance, thermal conductivity, density, controlling viscosity, preventing flow, reducing oil absorption, and increasing hardness, by combining it with particles of colored or adhesive materials to form a cohesive and stable material with a high flow. The granular size of the powder should not exceed 20 microns. Some of the paints used in exterior wall cladding require marble powder in sizes 0.3 to 1.2 mm.
In the plastics industry, marble powder is used as a basic material in the manufacture of many plastic products such as water and drainage pipes, electrical cables, some parts of electrical equipment, some auto parts, children toys, plastic bags, tableware food preservatives and dishes, decorations, and others. It improves the physical properties of the plastic product, it makes it resistant to deformation as it increases its hardness and resistance by increasing the modulus of elasticity. It reduces the thermal expansion coefficient, makes it have a good external appearance and soft touch, and keeps it from sloughing. In addition, it makes it easy to form by increasing its fluidity and dispersion and reducing production costs.
