Slow Sand Filtration Systems – CEU: 0.7

Participants will learn about slow sand filtration technology in general and the basic mechanisms of treatment. Typical operation and design parameters of traditional slow sand filters will be discussed. Lab activities will give participants a good understanding of the construction of a typical upflow roughing filter as well as ozone safety procedures, general operation of ozone generators and measurement of ozone residual. A multistage slow sand filtration will be observed. Participants will also learn about related regulatory requirements.
