Question

Differentiate between slow sand filter and rapid gravity filter

Answer 1

Hi ❤

A flow of between 4 – 21 m/h can be expected from a rapid sand filter, which is somewhere between 20 and 50 times faster than the range of slow sand filtration. ... Pre-treatment is usually necessary for rapid sand filtration. Such treatment could include coagulation and flocculation, followed by sedimentation.
