MEDIA BED FILTERS FOR FILTERING FINE PARTICLES FROM A RAW LIQUID FLOW AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME

摘要

The present document describes a media bed filter for filtering fine particles from a raw liquid flow the media bed filter comprising: a tank having: a top portion; a bottom portion defining a bottom surface for receiving a media bed the media bed having a supporting media to be disposed on the bottom surface and a filtering media for covering the supporting media the top portion of the tank being above the filtering media of the media bed; a raw liquid inlet in fluid communication with a nozzle configuration located in the top portion of the tank for providing the raw liquid flow in the tank in the form of a plurality of jets at a directional velocity substantially equal or greater to a disengagement velocity of the filtering media.
