| Abstract | Declining rate and coarse media filtration are two
modifications of constant rate graded media filtration . The study indicates that the declining rate filtration produces comparable or better effluent than that o f constant rate filtration while producing a low headless development. The coarse media arrangement
makes use of entire medium in efficient filtration run while
producing less headless than that of graded filter media
filtration .. Both declining rate a nd coarse media filtration are
cost effective.
SAATCI's (BDST) and MINT's equations can be successfully used to predict the declining rate filtration performances with the
limited number of constant rate filtration experiments. The
equations mentioned above also, provides a means for rational design o f tilter with the help of limited number of plot-scale experiments. |
