Filter Media Replacement: Theory and Practical Experience
www.pnws-awwa.orgFilter Media Loss •Granular media filters lose media via backwash –Target <3-5%/yr losses •Optimize backwash if loss is excessive –Tolt ~1-2%/yr •Media breaks down over time, finer particles migrate to top during backwash •Replace: –Lost …
Adsorption with Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
sswm.infoAdsorption Beds as Filter Beds and Heavy Metal Adsorbers • GAC beds are sometimes used as deep-bed filters (as well as adsorbers) • the capital cost associated with dual purpose adsorber-filter beds is typically lower than separate beds ... granular media:
Iron and Manganese Removal
www.awwa.orgthe filter media acts as a catalyst for the oxidation and reduction of iron ... a granular media. However, unlike most other pressure filtration systems, which rely on the formation of a chemical precipitate and subsequent filtra - tion, biological processes do not require any chemical oxidants.
