This study aimed to improve the Dyna-sand filter performance using dual coal sand media with different ratios to achieve the required efficiency. Two ratios of coal sand were applied in this study 4 sand to 1 coal and 2 sand to 1 coal to determine the best removal ratio for the Dyna sand filter unit, against different high solids loads (50 -150 ppm) and several rate of filtration (150-250) m3/m2/d. The study results showed that media with ratio (4 sand: 1 anthracite carbon), the Dyna-sand filter achieved turbidity removal ratio between (93 and 94%) with different rate of filtration and under different TSS loads. The increase of A.C. ratio achieved very smaller effect on removal efficiency between 1: 2% than the previous starting media ratio. This achievement with the coal increase is not economic effective when compared with the starting ratio. The study concluded that; the application of dual media with ratio 4 S :1 A.C. is the best modification to Dyna sand filter. The improvement in its turbidity removal ratio between 10: 20% compared with sand only against high inlet solids loads with different rates of filtration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
