Evaluation of Diatomite Filters for Water Plants
This article discusses experimental studies conducted by the U.S. Army at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, to evaluate rapid sand, pressure diatomite, and vacuum diatomite filters with coagulated water under conditions where transportability was not a principal requirement. In all of the filter operations, routine measurements of turbidity and color reductions were made and samples were examined periodically for algae count and bacteriologic content. Characteristics of the three different filter systems are summarized, and analysis of the data reveals that the sand filter produced the longest run and the best average run, with the least power requirement. This article includes a discussion by J. Ray Scrivener with BIF Industries, Philadelphia, Pa.
