Abstract
To see the effect of rate of filtration on the removal of suspended solids, the performance of slow sand filters has been studied at laboratory scale using raw water obtained from the nearby canal. The study was conducted using a set of four slow sand filter units operated in parallel. The influent water turbidity applied to the filters was changed by presedimentation. The performance of the filters was measured in terms of the removal of the suspended solids. The filters were found to be quite effective for the removal of the suspended solids after ripening at different filtration rates and raw water quality used in this study.
