  There are many different methods of filtration, but all aim to attain the separation of two or more materials. This is achieved by some form of interaction between the substance or objects to be removed and the filter. In addition the substance that is to pass through the filter must be a fluid, i.e. a liquid or gas.

  Sand Filters:
