The strategic importance of silica in the water treatment industry
Why Hamadan silica is the best choice?

1. Extraction and transmission
2. Primary and secondary erosion
3. Washing and cleaning
4. drying and cooling (granulation)
Silica granulation standard for water purification
- Fine silica (sugar) or size 1: This size is usually between 0.5 and 1.5 mm. This layer is placed at the top of the filter and is responsible for removing fine suspended particles. The quality of this layer has the greatest impact on water clarity. Medium silica or size 2: Granulation between 1.5 to 3 mm or 2 to 4 mm. This layer is placed in the middle and prevents the upper small grains from escaping and filters larger particles.
- Coarse silica (walnut) or size 3: Granulation between 3 to 5 mm or 5 to 8 mm. This layer is poured on the bottom of the filter and on the nozzles. Its main function is to drain water and protect nozzles from clogging.
- Very coarse silica (almond): Size 8 to 12 mm, which is used in some large industrial filters.
The Shishegran company supplies all these sizes with micron accuracy and resistant packaging so that our dear customers don't have to worry about mixing the seeds.
The role of silica in pressurized sand filters
Sand filter under pressure is the most common water purification device in swimming pools, industrial and municipal treatment plants. The performance of this device is completely dependent on the quality of the silica inside. When the turbid water enters the tank, it must pass through the silica grains. Suspended particles get stuck in the empty spaces between the grains.
If you are looking for processing and selling water purification silica in Hamedan, you should know that poor quality silica with non-uniform granulation causes a phenomenon called "channelization". This means that instead of passing through the entire bed, the water finds an easy way and leaves without being purified. Shishegan products, having a standard "Uniformity Coefficient", prevent this problem and maximize the filtration efficiency.
Various applications of silica in the production of expensive glass
Although our main focus here is on water purification, the high quality of Hamadan silica has made it applicable in other industries as well. Shishegan customers cover a wide range of industries:
- Swimming pool and hot tub water treatment: The clarity of pool water directly depends on the quality of silica.
- Urban drinking water treatment: Where human health is at stake and silica standardization is vital.
- Industrial wastewater treatment: Removal of physical pollutants from factory effluents.
- Glass and crystal industries: due to high purity SiO2SiO_2SiO2.
- Casting and sandblasting industries: due to the high hardness of the grains.
- Production of concrete and building materials: to increase the strength of the structure.
However, the most specialized production line in Shishegan is related to water purification silica, which is produced with very high sensitivity.
The importance of packaging in the sale of silica
One of the points that is less paid attention to in the processing and sale of Hamedan water purification silica is the type of packaging. Silica is a material that does not lose its quality if it is exposed to environmental moisture or pollution, but it may become contaminated or the packaging may tear. Shishegran company offers its products in durable laminated bags (usually 30 or 40 kg) as well as big bags (Jumbo Bag) of one ton. These packages are resistant to tearing during transportation, as well as the penetration of moisture and dust. Customers can easily store silica and use it when needed.
The difference between premium silica and ordinary silica
In the market of processing and selling silica for water purification in Hamadan, terms such as premium silica, grade one and grade two are heard. What is the difference between these?
Premium silica, which is the main product of Glass for purifying sensitive water, has a purity of 99% and is completely white in color. This silica has been washed several times and has no traces.
Premium silica has a slightly lower purity and may have very minor streaks, but is still great for pools and water treatment plants.
Second grade silica usually has a cream or light brown color and is not recommended for sensitive applications, but is mostly used in sandblasting or concreting.
The strong recommendation of Shishegran experts is to use premium or first grade silica from Hamedan to purify drinking water and swimming pools in order to guarantee the health of consumers.
Buying guide and price of water purification silica
The price of water purification silica depends on various factors. The type of ore, degree of purity, quality of processing, number of times of washing, accuracy of granulation and type of packaging are all effective in the final price. Unfortunately, some profit seekers are trying to deceive customers by supplying low-quality, dusty and mixed-granulated silica under the name of Hamadan silica. Buying cheap is not without reason and usually imposes heavy costs on the buyer for early replacement of media (silica) and equipment failure.
The Shishegran group has tried to offer a competitive and fair price while maintaining superior quality by eliminating middlemen and supplying directly from the factory. When buying from Shishegan, you not only get a high-quality product, but also benefit from free technical advice. Our experts will help you calculate the exact amount of silica you need and the right sizes for your filter.
Important points when buying from Jarhan Garan:
Replacement of silica sand filter
Even with the best silica in the world, after a while there is a need to replace the filter bed. But the use of high-quality silica expensive glass postpones the time of this replacement. Normally, silica pool filters need to be replaced every 3 to 5 years, and industrial filters need to be replaced every 2 to 4 years, depending on the level of operation.
The signs that it is time to replace silica are:
When you decide to change, the Hamadan water purification silica processing and sales team in the Shishegran collection is ready to send you the newest and highest quality load of silica as soon as possible.
The effect of silica on health and hygiene
Using low-quality silica can cause serious health risks. The presence of heavy metals or chemical impurities in various stones can dissolve in water and cause disease. But Hamadan silica, which is supplied by Shishegran, is chemically neutral and does not react with water. This issue is especially important in drinking water purification and food industry. The standard of silica means guaranteeing the health of the water we drink or swim in.
