III. Water Treatment TechnologiesTopic. III. 5. Micro-mesh Screens. Filters: Kinds, Constructions and Operation Micro-mesh Screens I. Purpose • For plankton removal • For colour removal II. Efficiency restriction • Phytoplankton content - up to 106cells/l • Duration of high plankton concentration - more than 1 month • Removal of • 45 - 75 % of diatomite algae • 60 - 95 % of blue-green algae • 100 % of zooplankton • 25 - 35 % of suspended solids
Filters Kinds: I. According to the filtration rate • Low rate - 0,1 - 0,3 m/h • High rate - 5 - 10 (15) m/h • Super high rate - 50 m/h II. According to the filter layers • One-layer • Two-layers • Multy-layers III. According to the filter media • Sand (quartz) filters • Coal/sand filters • Ceramic filters • Ceramic/sand filters
Filters Kinds: IV. According to construction • Open (non-pressure) • Closed (pressure) • Vertical • Horizontal V. According to impurities removal mechanism • Coagulation/sorption • Ion exchange VI. According to reagents application • Without reagents’ treatment • With preliminary coagulation • With contact coagulation
