High Velocity Polyurethane Foam Filter Performance Study

We would like to analyze the impact of the variation of parameters within our foam filtration experiment in order to determine the optimal set of parameters to design a filtration unit for, and the range conditions which the filter will be effective for. The parameters we will study are filter depth, filtration downflow velocity, influent turbidity, and presence the of an alum dose.

High Velocity Foam Filtration

Since laboratory research has shown that horizontal flow foam filtration is not a feasible method for achieving the desired filtration performance, it is necessary to manipulate the geometry of the proposed foam filtration unit in another way. With a high velocity foam filter, the depth of the foam will be increased to accommodate the increased velocity. With an increased filtration velocity, the filtration unit will require less planned area, which reduces the associated construction and maintenance costs.
