The overarching goal of the Stacked Rapid Sand Filter Theory team is to develop a mathematical model for filter performance. A new apparatus will be designed to model a stacked rapid sand filter. Experiments with constant turbidity and varying coagulant dosages will be run and analyzed. From the analyzed data we hope to be able to create a model that will be able to predict the expected head loss of a given SRSF filter if the coagulant dosage and amount of solids already accumulated in the filter are known. |
