DESCRIPTION

The material in this module can be used to teach courses with various agendas. It can be used for a complete presentation (or set of presentations) completely covering the field of media filters. Another approach would be to use portions of the materials to teach selected topics such as single path sand filters, recirculating sand filters, proprietary media filters or maintenance and monitoring of media filters.

The intent of the media filter module is to provide sufficient detailed materials so that someone who may be familiar wastewater treatment but not necessarily with media filters can teach the full module or portions thereof as indicated above. Media filters provide an effective, passive method of achieving a high level of secondary wastewater treatment with a simple, low energy system that requires relatively little maintenance. Media filters are likely to be used extensively for individual homes, small communities, sub-divisions and some commercial facilities in the future. Knowledge of media filters and their design will be important to engineers and public health officials in years to come.
