Practical experience of using rapid gravity filter models to improve operational practice at water treatment works

Head, R. / Shepherd, D.

Various techniques for simulating the performance of rapid gravity filters in potable water treatment have been proposed. This paper investigates how these models can be adapted for practical application and assesses some of the benefits and limitations of the models. Data from a full-scale treatment works have been used both to test the model performance and to show how process modelling techniques can be used to derive practical benefits on works. The filter modelling exercise helped to optimize the filter backwash schedules, leading to reduced operational costs on the treatment works.
