Rapid sand filters (also known as Rapid Gravity Filters or RGFs) and slow sand filters are the two major types of sand filters used for water treatment. Roughing Filters, which are horizontal-flow gravel filters used as a roughing treatment for turbid raw waters prior to sand filtering, should not be mistaken with sand filters.

Slow sand filtration was the main method of filtration of potable water before rapid sand filtration was developed. Although it has a large footprint, many slow sand filters are still used. Developments to make them more cost effective have included: Sand removal, washing and replacement have been mechanised as much as possible.

Introduction ¶. The hydraulic design of both the enclosed and open stacked rapid sand filter is complicated by the number of parallel flows, the manifolds in series, and the need to handle both backwash and filter modes. The design requires careful attention to weir hydraulics to achieve the target backwash flows when the plant is operating at ...

Slow sand filters are the least complex type of granular media filter. They are typically housed in reinforced concrete structures, with a basin with a bed of relatively fine sand placed over support gravel (0.3-0.6 m in depth) and underdrain piping up to 0.9-1.5 m in length. The filtration rate is from 0.08 to 0.4 m/h.

In rapid filters the filtration through sand is achieved by physical retaining the dirt into the gaps formed between the granules laid throughout the whole mantle. Rapid sand filter systems consist of individual closed tank or batteries, according to water output and filtration requirements. Filters typically have a height of 0.6 - 2.0 m and ...

Slow sand filtration is a biological process in nature and rapid sand filtration is a physical cleaning process. Rapid sand gravity filters and slow sand filters are two types of filters commonly used in water treatment. Slow sand gravity filters remove a higher percentage of bacteria and impurities, but filtration is very slow and expensive.

The filter sand used in rapid sand filters is prepared from stock sand specifically for the purpose. Most rapid sand filters contain 60 to 75 cm thickness of sand, but some newer filters are deeper. The sand used as filter media in RSF is generally of effective size of 0.4 to 0.7 mm and uniformity coefficient of 1.3 to 1.7.

Also the filtration mechanisms are very different. in rapid sand filters, the filtration process takes place to the depth of the media column, while in slow sand filtration, the filtration is superficial and takes place mostly in the top 2-3 cm.

The rapid sand filter, which is similar in some ways to the slow sand filter, is one of the most widely used filtration units. The major difference is in the principle of operation; that is, in the speed or rate at which water passes through the media. In operation, water passes downward through a sand bed that removes the suspended particles.

Slow sand filters have been largely replaced by rapid gravity sand filters, which are particularly effective for water treated with coagulants and are less expensive than slow sand filters. The flow is much greater than in slow sand filters, hence a smaller filter (requiring a smaller space) will be adequate.
