INTRODUCTION OF RSF
The process is called "rapid" because the water flows through the filter bed
at a high rate, allowing for the treatment of large volumes of water in a
relatively short period of time.
INTRODUCTION OF RSF
GRAVITY FILTERS
PRESSURE FILTERS
GRAVITY FILTER
Get the name from the fact that water flows through the filter
bed because of gravity, not because of a pump or a lot of
pressure.
Normally found in municipal drinking water systems, but most
often only with an upstream clarifier in an industrial setting.
Use to remove suspended solids from the service water and are
typically downstream of pre-treatment clarifiers.
Application
·Gravity filters are usually placed after pre-treatment clarifiers.
They are used to get rid of solids that are suspended in the
service water.
·Gravity filters are often used when the turbidity and colour of
the water coming in are too high for pressure filters (more than
50 NTU of turbidity and 10 APHA of colour). Any floc that gets
past the clarifier is also taken away.
GRAVITY FILTER
Materials of construction
Most gravity filters are made of carbon steel, and
they are usually put together on site.
Gravity filters can incorporate various types of
media such as sand, anthracite, greensand and
GAC to meet each plant’s water treatment needs
