Slow Sand Filtration for Water Treatment
ResultIn the discussion of filter media the properties ES and UC are defined, and for the SSF, ES typically is 12 to 40 mm (0.5" to about 1.6")and UC should be less than about 2.5. Typical water processing rates in SSFs are about 2.5 m3/ [m2 of filter cross-section area - day] = about 0.1 m/hour or about 0.33 ft/hour.
