7 Definitions Filtration: A process for separating s and c impurities from water by passage through a p medium, usually a bed of s. Most particles removed in filtration are much s than the p s between the sand grains, and therefore, adequate particle d (coagulation) is extremely important.

9 Performance The influent t ranges from 1-10 NTU (nephelometric turbidity units) with a typical value of 3 NTU. Effluent turbidity is about NTU.

10 Media Medium SG sand 2.65 anthracite garnet

11 History S low s and filters were introduced in 1804: sand diameter 0.2 mm depth 1 m loading rate 3-8 m 3 /d m 2

12 Slow Sand Filters S - gelatinous matrix of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, rotifera and a range of aquatic insect larvae. As a Schmutzdecke ages, more a tend to develop, and larger aquatic organisms may be present including some bryozoa, snails and annelid w.

15 D ual m edia filters introduced about 1940: Depth: anthracite (coal) m sand 0.3 m loading rate 300 m 3 /d m 2

16 Pathogen Removal During Filtration i poliovirus removal with filtration but without coagulation: 1-50% poliovirus removal with filtration and with coagulation: 90-99% Cryptosporidium oocysts removal with filtration without coagulation: 90%

50 Hollywood screen and TV personality Virginia Christine, "Mrs. Olson" of coffee commercial fame, was one of Stanton's famous daughters. At the time of our centennial in 1970, Virginia came home to be our parade marshal. During the celebration she served coffee to the public. Stanton's water tower was converted to a giant Swedish coffeepot the following year. Stanton, Iowa - 96 feet tall. - holds 2,400,000 cups of coffee (150,000 gals.) - completed in time for Homecoming 2000.
