Effectiveness of coagulants and coagulant aids for the removal of filter-clogging Synedra
The occurrence of Synedra spp. in the source water of the CheongJu water treatment plant (South Korea) decreased filter run times of rapid sand filters to below 5 hours. During the filter-clogging episode, full-scale Synedra removal by coagulation with polyaluminium hydrogen chloride silicate (PAHCS), flocculation and sedimentation ranged from 20 to 70%. To reduce filter clogging, strategies ...

A novel acoustic imaging tool for monitoring the state of rapid sand filters
A new technology based on acoustic waves is developed to monitor the state of sand filters used in drinking water treatment. Changes in the sand filter, due to the removal of suspended particles from the water and their accumulation in the pores, result in an increase of the bulk density and acoustic speed of the granular material. Consequently, the reflected acoustic response changes as the ...

Biological aspects of slow sand filtration: past, present and future
For over 200 years, slow sand filtration (SSF) has been an effective means of treating water for the control of microbiological contaminants in both small and large community water supplies. However, such systems lost popularity to rapid sand filters mainly due to smaller land requirements and less sensitivity to water quality variations. SSF is still a particularly attractive process because its ...

Two innovative devices for depth sampling in granular filtration systems. Desalination 286: 115–119, 2012.
Appropriate devices for obtaining either interstitial water or grain particle samples or for measuring dissolved oxygen (DO) at depth within the interior of large-scale, industrial granular bed filters are currently lacking. We developed two innovative samplers for studying a Rapid Sand Filter (RSF) at an operational SWRO plant: the first for water and granular material, the second for DO ...

Case Study - Wiggins Road Water Purification Works
ASW Engineering, a supplier of water treatment systems in southern Africa, was awarded the contract by Umgeni Water to refurbish 12 twin-cell rapid gravity sand filters. The company’s initial assessment of the problem was that the sealing between the filter nozzle sleeves and the concrete panels, and the sealant used in between the precast slabs of the filter floor, had deteriorated due to ...

Algae-Free in Four Weeks: How the City of Archie Stopped Algae Blooms
An unexpected bloom This year, Rick Blundell, Water Superintendent for the City of Archie, installed one of our ultrasonic systems in his 5.5-foot surface-acre reservoir located in Missouri. Back in the winter, the City of Archie experienced a hard freeze that lasted for about two and a half weeks. When ice formed over the reservoir, Rick thought: “We’re going to have some really ...
