When the filtering layer begins to clog need cleaning it, which happens every 4 to 6 weeks. The cleaning is manual and involves removing the first layer of sand, sand washing in separate tubs and in reconstruction of filter bed. Quick filters are the most used, particularly in combination with other treatments such as clarification (surface waters) and the removal of iron and manganese (deep waters), and can deal with an input flow rate 40 times higher than that of lens filters (survival water purification systems).
The sedimented material is conveyed towards a hopper formed on bottom of tank, by means of mechanical pickers that sweep the bottom of same, and from here pumped to sludge treatment line. The size of tanks depends on detention time which is a function of characteristics of solid sediments present in raw waters and the type of decanter chosen.
We can also make filters consist of two filter layers of materials with different specific weight (dual media). As a rule, in this case the top layer is made from anthracite, lighter, and the lower one is in quartz sand. The layer of asphalt, being formed by the coarser particles of sand, preserves the rapid occlusion of first layers of sand. After a certain time, the retained particles begin to clog the bed draining decreasing the permeability, and determining, at a constant flow rate of inflow, an increase in waters level in tanks filtering. Exceeded the limit level, the layer drained must be subjected to countercurrent washing to restore its efficiency.
The filtering layer resting on a draining bottom, which has the function of: surface filters: filtration takes place through filter cloths which prevent the passage from the materials above the size of blind holes (not es.tessuto tissue; in this case the particles are retained on the surface of filter media forming a layer of material that retains the subsequent particles.
Physical and chemical treatments normal and driven: they are divided into several phases and eliminate non-settleable suspended solids (flocculation) and correct the chemical characteristics of waters by eliminating the dissolved substances that are incompatible with the use to which the waters is bound (softening, stabilization, removal of iron, manganese, desilication, fluoridation and defluoration, aeration).
The flocculation basins have a rectangular shape and can be: Staged: where to achieve greater efficiency, the tank is divided into several zones in series in which the agitation is gradually decreasing. Channels: are horizontal flow, where the pool is subdivided by transverse partitions to form a channel whose width is gradually increased so as to obtain a flow velocity gradually decreasing.
The 'sodium aluminate is very expensive and is also used in treatment of lime-soda softening species in case of high hardness and magnesium. In some waters, even with a strong dose of coagulant, are unable to develop a staple of suitable density. Inse cases, adjuvants are added to waters coagulation to promote the densification of micro-flakes.
What lens filters the filtering action is exerted by the biological film that develops on the surface of filter in 10-15 days (aging time of filter). The film filter is very sensitive to mechanical disturbances and organic contaminants. During the period of maturation of film the filtered waters is not considered potable. The inflow of waters into filter takes place from above while runoff occurs from the bottom; the filtration rate.
