A rapid filter plant is to produce a maximum flow of 23,000 m³/day. The nominal filtration rate is 120 m/day and is not to exceed 180 m/day with one filter being backwashed nor 240 m/day with one filter being backwashed and one filter out of service. Determine the number of units required and the individual filter area. How much water is required to wash one filter if the backwash rate is 1 m/min and the duration is 10 min?

• Calculate the Hydraulic rate Vo, and BOD load of a single -stage trickling filter with the following data: Q= 30000m3/d, t=3hrs, H=2m and BOD effluent 30mg/l, Recirculation around filter is =25%Q. Assume efficiency of filter 80%.
Q4: A rapid filter plant is to treat 28000 m³/d at a rate of 110 m/d. Determine the size and number of filters required. If the filtration rate is not to exceed 170 m/d with two filters being backwashed, nor 240 m/d with one filter out of service and two filters being backwashed. How much water would be required to backwash two filters if the wash is at 66 m/hr. and continues for 5 minutes.
Example A storm water drain with a flow of 40 L/s and chloride concentration of 1200 mg/L is discharging into a small stream. The stream flow is 2.0 m3/s and chloride cóncentration of 20 mg/L. Calculate the chloride concentration in the stream after the discharge point. Assume steady state with complete mixing and no reaction.
Design a rapid mono-media sand filter for a plant that has a design flow rate of 120 MGD. Filter Boxes Required:a) How many filter boxes are required for “on-line” filters?b) How many additional filter boxes are required to accommodate “off-line”filters?c) What is the total number of filter boxes needed by your plant?
6. The design flow (average daily flow) for a new trickling filter plant for the tri-cities is 52,000 m/d. Raw wastewater characteristics are: 240 mg/L BOD, 240mg/L TSS. Primary settling tank (PST) removes 33% BOD, 70% TSS. The final effluent should have less than 20 mg/L BOD and less than 20 mg/L TSS. Filter depth is 3.2 meters. Determine the diameter of single stage trickling filter(s) using the NRC equation if they are using 3 trickling filters and a recirculation ratio of 3. If we use the BOD loading criteria of 0.6 kg/d-m³ and hydraulic loading rate of 16 m/d-m2 to design the trickling filter will the volume calculated using the NRC equation above be sufficient?
