Comparison of Methods for Sizing Secondary Treatment Filters for Wastewater

by Paily P. Paily, (M.ASCE),



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: North American Water and Environment Congress & Destructive Water

Abstract:

The trickling filter process in which a bacterial biomass is allowed to grow attached to a filter medium of rock or plastic is effectively used for removal of organic materials in domestic wastewater. The design of a filter unit incorporates empirical equations that are specific to the medium chosen. A comparison of the design results for the two types of media is presented in this paper.
