Using the R & T filtration model, plot and compare the concentration profiles of 4 um Crypto-oocysts
through a rapid rate filter (10 m/h) and a slow sand filter (0.10 m/h). Assume 0.5 mm diameter sand
media, porosity =0.40, S.G =2.65, filter depth =1 m, and temperature =20o C. Assume an attachment
efficiency for the rapid filter of 1.0 and 0.05 for the slow sand filter. Plot the results as C/Co as a
function of filter depth. Explain the differences between the filters in terms filter cleaning methods and
attachment efficiencies. Please show and draw the graphs as well.
