Fyuluta ya Diatomaceous Earth imatanthawuza sefa yopaka yokhala ndi zokutira zapadziko lapansi za diatomaceous monga gawo losefera, makamaka pogwiritsa ntchito makina a sieving kuthana ndi kusefera kwamadzi komwe kumakhala ndi zinthu zazing'ono zoyimitsidwa. Zosefera za Diatomaceous earth vin ndi zakumwa zosefedwa zili ndi kakomedwe kosasintha, sizikhala ndi poizoni, zilibe zolimba zoyimitsidwa ndi matope, ndipo zimamveka bwino komanso zimawonekera. Fyuluta ya diatomite imakhala ndi kusefera kwakukulu, komwe kumatha kufika ma microns 1-2, imatha kusefa Escherichia coli ndi algae, ndipo kusungunuka kwa madzi osefa ndi 0,5 mpaka 1 digiri. zida chimakwirira dera laling'ono, otsika kutalika kwa zipangizo, voliyumu ndi ofanana ndi 1/3 ya mchenga fyuluta, akhoza kupulumutsa ambiri ndalama mu zomangamanga boma la chipinda makina; moyo wautali wautumiki komanso kukana kwa dzimbiri kwa zinthu zosefera.
