Tracking filter performance with particle counting
Particle counting can be a sensitive tool for monitoring filter performance and improving the quality of finished water.
Minor changes (1–2 mg/L) in the primary coagulant dosage can significantly affect particle counts in filtered water. Jar tests were inconclusive in selecting a coagulant dosage for source water of low turbidity (<5 ntu). Measurements of turbidity in filtered water were also not definitively altered by small changes in coagulant dosage. On‐line particle counting was successfully used in a 0.5 × 106–m3/d (135‐mgd) conventional water treatment plant to distinguish the effects on water quality of small changes in coagulant dosage and filter flow. Measurable changes in particle counts in filtered water were detected when the aluminum sulfate dosage ranged from 5 to 10 mg/L at filter loading rates of 4–9.5 m/h (1.7–4.0 gpm/sq ft). Particle count percentile plots and statistics (10th, 50th, 90th, 95th, and 98th percentiles) were valuable indicators of the performance of both individual filters and the overall plant.
