Rapid Sand Filter Design. Problem: Design a rapid sand filter to treat 10 million litres of raw water per day allowing 0.5% of filtered water for backwashing. Half hour per day is used for bakwashing. Assume necessary data. Solution: Total filtered water = 10.05 x 24 x 10 6 = 0.42766 Ml / h 24 x 23.5. Let the rate of filtration be 5000 l / h / m 2 of bed. ...

Vertical pressure filters are generally used for smaller plants because the design offers the flexibility of incremental plant expansion and the ability to easily isolate a single filter cell. Horizontal pressure filters typically are used for larger plants since their ...

They have higher surface areas and can filter 200 to 600 gpm. These filters are often segmented into different compartments to allow individual backwashing.
