Abstract:
Filter media are prepared materials that allow the passage of raw water with polluted, suspended organic and inorganic particles through them with significant retention of the pollutants. They are selected based on the desired physical characteristics, such as specific size, gravity, and particle sizes. The case study of hydro anthracite as a single multimedia filter with the merits of physical stability, excellent chemical resistance, and durability was simulated with lentech multimedia web-based calculator to model the interaction of its surface area (y= 0.555x + 0.0008; R2 = 0.9999) and diameters(y=0.0176x + 0.0008; R2=0.9992) at a precise flow rate by the filtrate from 1 to 20 m3 per hour. The predicted and actual flow rate, surface area, and diameter of the filter is 10.5 ± 5.92 m3/hour, 0.58 ± 0.33 m3, and 0.19 ± 0.10 m respectively. This implies the model can be adopted in the process performance and optimization of water treatment with hydro anthracite as a multimedia filter.
