“…Investigations regarding the use of slow filters for the treatment of textile effluent are essential to evaluate pollutants' retention potential (Egea-Corbacho et al, 2019), and thereby reducing the environmental risks, treatment costs, and areas used for treatment plants. Due to their simplicity and lower operating costs, slow filters are currently an attractive solution, especially in rural areas and small communities in developing countries (Bendida et al, 2013). Among the advantages of slow filters over fast filters, a highlight is not requiring water coagulation and frequent washing of the filtration units which results in high production of waste.…”

Jean laundering generates significant effluent flows with a high organic load, color, and other pollutants, making it difficult to adjust effluent releases within legal limits. Slow Sand Filters (SSF) with downflow were tested for seven days (bench scale), to propose an after-treatment of effluents from an Effluent Treatment Plant of a jean laundry. The research evaluated the removal of the following parameters: color, turbidity, chemical and biochemical oxygen demand, conductivity, ammonia, total phosphorus and salinity of the textile effluent. The experimental apparatus had four SSF: the first filter was fed with distilled water, while the other three filters (triplicates) were fed with effluent. The filters had, on average, the following removal efficiencies: 91% for ammonia, 61.24% color, 89.43% turbidity, and 83.54% for phosphorus. Regarding the removal of organic matter, 98.11% for BOD and 81.17% for COD, demonstrating that SSFs were efficient in removing particulate, dissolved materials and organic matter.

“…Currently there are 128 public wastewater treatment plants that can process 700 million cubic metres of sewage per year (National Office for Sewage of Algeria 2012). Yet the amount of treated sewage is very far from the real quantity discharged by the 37 million inhabitants of today's Algeria (for coverage of sewerage network in the order of 85%, only 20% of collected wastewater is treated in Algeria (Bendida et al, 2013). Consequently, on-site domestic wastewater treatment by sand filters appears to be a very interesting complementary aid to public sanitation in rural areas in terms of limiting pollution of surface water reserves and preventing groundwater pollution.…”

The treatment of domestic wastewater by sand filters is a very interesting alternative technique to collective sewerage in rural areas. In order to assess the accuracy of this technique in Algeria, a feasibility study based on a statistical survey and an experimental study is carried out. The aim of the statistical survey is to determine the potential for the application of this technique by evaluating the rate of connection to collective sewerage networks and the existence of a sewage treatment system in rural areas. The purpose of the experimental study is to assess the suitability of the local sands for this type of process. In this paper the treatment performance over time of two different sands (medium and coarse) are evaluated. The chemical analyses of wastewater and filtered water showed a removal ranges between 57% and 74% for medium sand and between 7% and 49% for coarse sand.
