Details of the Self-Cleaning Sand Bed Water Filter (1 credit hours)
This course examines the design features and functions of sand bed water filters.  The two basic design types are defined by the method of cleaning the sand bed.  Larger municipal filters tend to use the periodic cleaning cycle and smaller industrial filters tend to use the continuous cleaning cycle.  Design details and the purpose of each feature of the continuous cleaning cycle sand filter are explored in detail using many drawings and photographs.
