Enhancing flexible fiber filter (3FM) performance using in-line coagulation

Abstract: A new packing for deep bed filtration using Flexible Fibers has been proposed and developed on a very large scale for tertiary treatment of wastewater. The purpose of this study is to check the possibility of using this technology for the production of drinking water from surface water. In this study, the feasibility of the fiber filter application on water treatment was examined and the removal efficiency of fiber filter was improved using an in-line coagulant injection method. The experiments were carried ou… Show more

“…Several wastewater treatment plants in Korea are now equipped with a fiber filter as a tertiary treatment (1). More recent research on fiber filter proved that this fiber filter could be used for drinking water production and could be an alternative to the coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation steps (2,3,4).…”

“…A temperatura interfere tanto nos mecanismos físicos como químicos da suspensão, influenciando na evolução da perda de carga ou na remoção dos flocos. O tipo de leito utilizado no filtro de fibras flexíveis combina grandes superfícies específicas e altas porosidades (da ordem de 90%), o que leva a altas eficiências de remoção e baixas perdas de carga, apesar do emprego de altas taxas de filtração, segundo Lee et al (2006).…”

“…Os resultados encontrados por Lee et al (2006) são promissores, uma vez que mostram a viabilidade de se utilizar filtro de fibras flexíveis na produção de água para abastecimento a partir de águas superficiais, utilizando dosagens de coagulante possivelmente menores e taxas de filtração muito maiores do que as comumente empregadas em estações de tratamento de água.…”
