Abstract

A review of the literature is presented and a review of filtration theory as it applies to pilot-plant design is backed by descriptions of basic pilot-scale equipment and analyses of actual studies. The theory and practice described are applicable to pilot-plant studies involving the following flow systems: Complete conventional treatment including rapid mix, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration; and direct filtration schemes of contact flocculation-filtration, in which after rapid mix the water is applied directly to the filter, and flocculation-filtration in which after the rapid mix the water is flocculated for up to 10 min and applied directly to the filter.
