Question
The water treatment plant's filter media is characterized by the following tables. General Filter Media Parameters: Plot a sieve analysis for the anthracite, silica, and illmenite (not the illmenite gravel) on the same graph which shows the d10, d60, and d90 values for each media. Determine the velocity of minimum fluidization for this multimedia filter. Assume the water temperature is 20degreeC (mu = l.002Times10-3 kg/m s and rho=998.207 kg/m3). If this was a dual media filter with only anthracite and sand, determine the media head loss when a filter run is started with a clean filter bed and it is operating with a 4 gpm/ft2 filtration rate. Assume the water temperature is 20 degree C (mu=l.002Times10-3 kg/m s and rho=998.207 kg/m3). (Hint: Determine Kv and K1 values by taking the midpoint values.) For a dual media filter with only anthracite and sand, if all porosities dropped to 67% of their initial value and the diameters increased by 10%, i.e. the filter bed became quite clogged with turbidity, what would happen to the head loss? What would be the recommended course of action if this occurred? For example, the porosity of anthracite drops to 0.39, and its d10 increases to 1.16 mm.Explanation / Answer
