Name the advantages of dual and mixed media filters over plain rapid sand filters??
Higher filtration rate and longer filter runs
Proper way to re fill rapid sand filter that was been out of service
Slowly fill the filter through the backwash valve
List the characteristics of polymers?
Cationic ( net positive charge )
Anionic ( net negative charge )
Non-ionic ( no net charge )
Name the characteristics of the flocculation process??
Type of reaction ( physical )
Time required ( 20-30 min )
, Mixing intensity ( Controlled slow mixing )
Coagulants typically used in the water treatment industry
Alum or aluminum sulfate Al2(SO4)3
Iron salts: Ferric Chloride (FeCl3), Ferrous Sulfate (FeSO4)
Low molecular weight cationic polymer
What is the optimum pH for coagulation
Alum: pH 5-7
Iron salt: pH 4-11
Cationic polymer: effective over a wide pH range.
Alum or aluminum Sulfate
Al2(SO4)3 : pH 5-7
