QUESTION: 6

Consider the following statement regarding depth of sand of the rapid gravity filter?
1. It should be checked against breakage of floc
2. The sand depth should lie between 100-200cm
3. The floc should be attached through the sand bed
Which of the above statement is/are correct?
Solution:

Explanation: Sand depth should be such that floc do not break through the sand bed and the depth of sand should vary between 60-90 cm.

QUESTION: 7

Which of the following statement is wrong regarding Anthracite?
Solution:

Explanation: Anthracite is a costlier filter material used in industrial filter which is more inert to hot caustic solutions than sand.
