Abstract

Removal of particles by filter is a complex water treatment process. Several factors are involved that include shape and size of filter grains, particle concentration, filtration velocity, and filter depth. The objective of this study was to evaluate PARTICLE REMOVAL EFFICIENCY (h) by changing particle concentration and media grain size in a RAPID SAND FILTER. Five concentrations (100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 ppm) of Kaolin particles and three mean media sizes (0.51, 1, and 1.41 mm) were used. The filter depth and the filtration velocity were 25 cm and 0.086 cmsec-1, respectively. Silica sand was used as the filter medium in all the experiments. The results showed that for the filter medium with an average grain size of 0.51 mm, removal efficiency increased with increasing influent particle concentration during the initial hours of filtration. Generally, suspended solids removal efficiency was higher at low particle concentrations. No significant differences were observed in removal efficiency for the three media sizes and particle concentrations of up to 300 mg/L, but for concentrations above 300 mg/L, removal efficiency decreased, especially for FILTER MEDIA with an average grain size of 1.41 mm. Removal efficiency decreased in FILTER MEDIA with average grain sizes of 1 and 1.41 mm at high particle concentrations from the very initial hours of filtration. The highest removal efficiency was observed in the filter medium with an average grain size of 0.51 mm. Differences in removal efficiencies between the FILTER MEDIA with average grain sizes of 0.51 and 1 mm were much greater than those between FILTER MEDIA with average grain sizes of 1 and 1.41 mm. In other words, the critical grain size for the filter medium was 1 mm.
