DUAL MEDIA FILTER

The filterr are designed to operate as duty/standby units with one filter capable of accepting a 30m 3/h
design flow when running at a flow velocity of 9,6 m/h. two filters can be run on line together at flow
velocities of 4,8 m/h/unit. A selector switch is provided to allow one unit or two unit operation.
Normal filter operation is one on line with one on standby.
Influent water, containing typically 0 to 5 mg/l of suspended floc particles, is distributed in a filter
vessel from a top, trough type header system. The water passes down through a filter bed comprising
anthracite and sand layers supported on a bottom nozzle plate and out through the bottom of a unit.
Suspended particles are subjected to many changes of direction on their retention in the bed. The build
up of solids within a filter will gradually increase the differential pressure and could in time
progressively reduce the flow. Periodically, therefore, a filter is backwashed to loosen and decompact
the bed and to remove accumulated suspended matter.
The trough type header system at the top of a unit is used for backwash water collection. A rising
space is provided in the vessel above the filter bed to allow of the suspended matter from the bed.
The bootom nozzle plate supporting the media provides a service flow collection system and
backwash distribution system.
During a cleaning sequence the water level in a unit is first lowered to just above the bed of media. An
air scour is introduced to agitate the media particles and loosen the suspended matter adhering to
them. This scour is followed by the backwash step which fluidizes and reclassifies the media layers
whilst removing the suspended matter. After a refill step the bed is given a downflow rinse to drain
and is then ready to go into standby or service as required.

kapasitas desain alirannya 30 m3/jam dan kecepatan alirannya 9,6 m/jam. dua filter dapat dijalankan
bersama denan kecepatan alir 4,8 m/jam/unit. Terdapat tombol opsi untuk memungkinkan satu unit
