The role of backwash in start-up of full-scale drinking water biofilters
The purpose of backwashing during the start-up period of rapid biofilters at drinking water treatment plants differs significantly from the purpose of backwashing during normal operation. During start-up, finished water quality is secondary, detachment of microorganisms must be minimized, dust present in the original filter media must be removed and inherent inoculation of the biofilter with ...

Effect of oxygen deprivation on treatment processes in a full-scale drinking water biofilter
Dissolved oxygen is critical for proper operation of waterworks that utilize anaerobic groundwater and rely on biofilters to remove iron, manganese and ammonium. In these biofilters, planned or inadvertent oxygen deprivation may occur for a variety of reasons. The water quality effects of oxygen deprivation on the function of drinking water biofilters, however, have not previously been ...

Hybrid filtration method for pre-treatment of stormwater
In this study the hybrid filtration process (combining fibre filter with deep bed dual media filtration) was investigated as pre-treatment to stormwater. This process was investigated in-terms of reduction in turbidity, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), colour, headloss development across the filters, suspended solids removal, organic matter removal, nutrients and heavy matter (such as iron, ...

Low cost processes for the removal of phosphates in water and wastewater
This paper presents a synopsis of various low-cost techniques employed for the removal of phosphates from water and treated wastewater. Techniques employed include seawater flocculation and coagulation/flocculation using bittern, adsorption on fluidised raw dolomite bed, and filtration through iron and aluminium coated filter media. Seawater flocculation at a seawater concentration of 10% ...

Talkeetna Water System, Alaska - Case Study
In late 2009, VEI Consultants contacted AdEdge Water Technologies to design, implement and startup an arsenic, iron, and manganese treatment system for the Talkeetna Water System in Talkeetna, Alaska. The existing water supply consisted of a well rated for 250 gpm with an arsenic level of 20 parts per billion (ppb). Iron and manganese levels were 0.04 mg/L and 0.10 mg/L respectively. The water ...

Technology for treatment of groundwater simultaneously containing iron, manganese, ammonium and organic matter
The groundwater used as drinking water often contains unacceptable amounts of iron and manganese compounds and ammonium ions. These substances are efficiently removed using conventional technologies (aeration and filtration through granular media filters). However, the efficiency is drastically reduced for water containing considerable amounts of organic matter, which usually enters the water ...

Green Sand Filters, Chile
INTRODUCTION In August 2013, Pure Aqua, Inc. manufactured and supplied Green Sand Filters to a major company in Chile to lower the manganese and iron level in well water. The system came complete with tank, top mounted valves, and high quality green sand media. The system was designed to produce 24 GPM. Since the initial startup, the system has been functioning accordingly with minimal ...

Park City, Utah Arsenic removal from ground water
Background Park City Utah Water, which serves a population of 6,500, has five water sources. Spiro Tunnel and Spiro Portal are two that were in need of Iron and Manganese removal as well as above limits for Arsenic. Filtronics was engaged by the engineering firm of Eckhoff, Watson and Preator (EWP), Salt Lake City, to perform pilot tests for the Park City Municipal Corporation. The purpose of ...
