Slow sand filtration definition

Slow sand filtration means a process involving passage of raw water through a bed of sand at low velocity (generally less than 0.4 meters per hour (m/h)) resulting in substantial particulate removal by physical and biological mechanisms.

Slow sand filtration means a process involving pas- sage of raw water through a bed of sand at low velocity (generally less than 0.4 m/h) resulting in substantial particulate removal by physical and biological mechanisms.

Slow sand filtration means a process involving passage of source water through a bed of sand at low velocity (generally less than 0.10 gpm/ft2) that results in substantial particulate removal (˃ 2-log Giardia lamblia cysts) by physical and biological mechanisms.

Examples of Slow sand filtration in a sentence

• Slow sand filtration is a process involving passage of raw water through a bed of sand at low velocity (generally less than 0.4 m/h), resulting in substantial particulate removal.

• Slow sand filtration is typically used as a primary filtration process, usually in small systems, rather than as a secondary filtration stage following conventional treatment or another primary filtration process.

• Slow sand filtration used as a primary filtration process receives a prescribed 3-log Cryptosporidium treatment credit, as described in section IV.B.

• Slow sand filtration is more efficient than pressure filtration in the removal of pathogens and cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium.

• An echo-technological alternative denominated Multiple Stage Filtration (Slow sand filtration plus pre- treatment) was selected to solve water quality problems.
