  2. Definitions • Filtration: A process for separating s_____________ and c ______________ impurities from water by passage through a porous medium, usually a bed of sand. Most particles removed in filtration are much smaller than the pore size between the sand grains, and therefore, adequate particle d______________ (coagulation) is extremely important.

  4. Performance • The influent t__________ ranges from 1 - 10 NTU (nephelometric turbidity units) with a typical value of 3 NTU. Effluent turbidity is about ______ NTU.

  5. Media • Medium SG • sand 2.65 • anthracite 1.45 - 1.73 • garnet 3.6 - 4.2

  6. History • S s filters were introduced in 1804: • sand diameter 0.2 mm • depth 1 m • loading rate 3 - 8 m3/d·m2 low and

  7. Slow Sand Filters • S ___________________ - gelatinous matrix of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, rotifera and a range of aquatic insect larvae. • As a Schmutzdecke ages, more algae tend to develop, and larger aquatic organisms may be present including some bryozoa, snails and annelid worms.

  27. Stanton, Iowa - 96 feet tall. - holds 2,400,000 cups of coffee (150,000 gals.)  - completed in time for Homecoming 2000.  Hollywood screen and TV personality Virginia Christine, "Mrs. Olson" of coffee commercial fame, was one of Stanton's famous daughters. At the time of our centennial in 1970, Virginia came home to be our parade marshal. During the celebration she served coffee to the public. Stanton's water tower was converted to a giant Swedish coffeepot the following year.
