The bed thickness of a speed sand filter is 1.3 m. A sand with a specific diameter of 0.8 mm and a specific gravity of 2600 kg / m3 will be used as filter material. The shape factor of the sand is 0.9 and the porosity of the clean bed is 0.45. The water layer thickness on the bed is 1.1 m. Average filtration speed is 130 m / day and maximum filtration speed is 180 m / day. The maximum flow rate is 24087 m3 / day and the kinematic viscosity of water is 1.01x10-6 m2 / sec.
