Water Retention Time in Intermittently Dosed Sand Filters

Sand filters are beds of medium-to-coarse sands, usual-ly 60-100 cm deep, underlain with gravel containing col-lection drains. Primary or secondary-treated effluent is intermittently dosed on the bed and percolates through the sand to the bottom of the filter. The underdrains collect the leachate and convey it to the final treatment and/or dis ...
