Design and Operation Guidelines for Optimization of the High-Rate Filtration Process

Presents guidelines for designing and operating high-rate filtration plants capable of producing high-quality finished water (ntu less than 0.2), based on plant-scale validation of key parameters identified through a survey of existing high-rate plants and pilot-plant research. Also provides guidelines for modifying processes and operations of existing plants to achieve high-quality finished water and estimate attendant costs. Survey results were published in 1989 as Design and Operation Guidelines for Optimization of the High-Rate Filtration Process: Volume I?Plant Survey Results. Phase two was published in 1992 as Design and Operation Guidelines for Optimization of the High-Rate Filtration Process: Volume II?Plant Demonstration Studies.
