Question: Following data is given for the Rapid Sand Filtration Unit: a . Filtered Water Requirement = 4 MLD b . Water used for back wauhing

Following data is given for the Rapid Sand Filtration Unit:
a. Filtered Water Requirement =4 MLD
b. Water used for back wauhing of filter =3%, time lost in washing every day =30 minutes, average filtration rate =4000Vhrm2, length of filter is twice of width
c. Perforation area of under-drainage =0.3% of total area of filter
d. Diameter of perforation =12mm
c. Area of laterals =2 times the area of perforation
f. Area of manifold = Twice the total area of laterals
e. Spacing of laterals =15cm
Find out the foltowing:
A. Length and width of filter
B. Diameter of manifold
C. No, of laterals
D. Length of each lateral
E. Draw the sketch of RSF showing laterals and manifold. )=(12
