Low Rate Sand Filters
Particularities:
Filtering total capacity - Ktot
Ktot = Kb + Knet , g/m2
Ktot = 2000 - 10000 g/m2; Kb - biofilm development capacity, g/m2; Kb = M.v0.Tb; Kb = 100 - 300 g/m2; Knet - net filtering capacity, g/m2; Knet = M.v0.Tnet
M - coarse water turbidity, mg/l;v0 - filtration rate during period Tb , m/h; v0 = 0,05 - 0,1 m/h; Tb - biofilm development duration, h; Tb = 3 - 12 h at M > 100 mg/l;Tb = 24 - 36 h at M < 100 mg/l;

Low Rate Sand Filters
Particularities:
Filtering total duration - Ttot
Ttot = Tb + Tnet +Tw , h
Tb - biofilm development duration, h; (time to reach bacteria concentration less than 100 numbers per cm3 and filtrate turbidity less than 2 mg/l);
Tnet - net filtering duration, h; Tnet = (Ktot - Kb)/v; Tnet = 500 h;Tw - filter washing duration, h; Tw = 6 - 24 h
