Application of dual media filters is a good solution for contaminated water. It is considered to be excellent for the removal of turbidity, organic matter, and many other impurities. However, dissolved solids are partially removed by this process. The dual media filter technology is used in various water treatment plants.

Other components are similar in characteristics to that of the slow sand filter. However, the appurtenances consist of wash water troughs, air compressors, and rate control devices. Rapid sand filters may be logged frequently, which is why the sand has to be cleaned at frequent intervals. For this, backwashing and surface wash methods are ...

Principle of a slow sand filter. Source: WHO (n.y.) The basic principle of the process is very simple. Contaminated freshwater flows through a layer of sand, where it not only gets physically filtered but biologically treated. Hereby, both sediments and pathogens are removed. This process is based on the ability of organisms to remove pathogens.

As far back as 2000 BC, people had devised methods for water treatment. The earliest documented methods come from ancient Greek writings that suggested heating water by boiling it over fire and using the sun. They also discussed filtering water using gravel and sand. The Greeks' major motive in purifying the water was to make it taste better ...

Similar to slow sand filter, the rapid sand filter is also constructed. This plant consists of layers of sand, gravel and rock (Fig. 31.7). Before filtration, water is treated with alum or ferrous sulphate in a settling tank where precipitates settle down. Then water is allowed to pass through rapid sand filter plant.

A rapid sand filter fills up in several days and must be cleaned by "backwashing" - forcing air and water back through the sand with high pressure. This breaks loose the coagulated contaminants. The resulting muck must then be drained off and disposed of. This material is hazardous waste. The bacteria is not killed, it is contained.

A slow sand filter is also a low energy-consuming process (Boller, 1994). The media removed from SSFs during skimming or re-sanding can be washed and re-used. No chemical dosing is required, mechanical equipment is limited and maintenance can be carried out by relatively unskilled labour (Shangarpawar & Kulkarni, 1994).

To use the filter, users simply pour water into the top, and collect finished water out of the outlet pipe into a bucket. Over time, especially if source water is turbid, the flow rate can decrease. Users can maintain flow rate by cleaning the filter through agitating the top level of sand, or by pre-treating turbid water before filtration.

The mechanisms of removal in slow sand filtration include entrapment, adsorption, biological flocculation, and biological degradation. In fact, one of the reasons for the very low hydraulic loading rate of slow sand filter is to allow aerobic conditions within the first inch or two of the sand filter depth.

Filtration is a method of separating solid impurities from liquid by allowing the liquid to pass through a filter, which usually consists in a porous material such as cotton wool, cloth, paper, glass wool or asbestos. The filter traps solid particles, and the size of its pores or holes determines which particles pass through. Water flows through the material at a low speed.

Principles of slow sand filtration. A slow sand filter contains biological activity and is therefore often referred to as a bio-sand filter.
