Filter aids are used in challenging filtration processes to separate solid from liquid through a porous medium that allows liquid to pass while limiting the solids. A filter aid manages the control flow and removal of solids to achieve maximum clarity of a liquid. Filter aids are built with porous, permeable, and rigid lattice structures that restrain solid particles and restraints solid particles while allowing the solids to pass through. These materials are added in small quantities in clarification or where compressible solid can foul the filter medium. Filter Aid Powder Manufacturers use filter aids in conjunction with powder filters, Diatomaceous Earth (DE), and perlite. DE is a naturally occurring form of 80% to 90 % silica that has been used since the century for filtration aid. It is an inexpensive natural mineral that has a honeycomb design which is considered ideal for filtering. It is formed from the remains of skeletons of microscopic aquatic plants. Over the millennia, the structures have accumulated and now are accessible to mining. It is efficient in trapping bacteria, clay particles, and
