Abstract |
|
A study was carried out to determine about Rapid Sand Filter, which are very commonly used in Conventional Water Treatment Plants. The Rapid Sand Filter beds are suffering by the problems like Mud ball formation, unsatisfactory effluent. Dual Media and multimedia filters can overcome the limitations of RSF. Turmeric root Capping of Crushed Coconut shell, charcoal. Designing Dual Media Filter Capped with Crushed Coconut Shell proves to be more efficient, economical and durable. The sample will be collected from nearby water source which was highly turbid and having high amount of total solids. The tests, which are conducted on sample, are pH, Total solids, Fluoride, Nitrate. It improves the performance of filter in terms of high filtration rate, high turbidity removal and high decrease in percentage of total solids and thus making it more applicable. |
