What is filter stage?
Single-stage unit consists of a primary settling tank, filter, secondary settling tank, and facilities for recirculation of the effluent. Two-stage filters consist of two filters in series with a primary settling tank, an intermediate settling tank which may be omitted in certain cases, and a final settling tank.
How to Calculate Efficiency of First Filter Stage?
Efficiency of First Filter Stage calculator uses Efficiency of First Filter Stage = 100/(1+(0.0561*sqrt(BOD Loading to Filter 2/(Volume*Recirculation factor)))) to calculate the Efficiency of First Filter Stage, The Efficiency of first filter stage is the total BOD removal efficiency of the first stage trickling filter. Efficiency of First Filter Stage is denoted by E1 symbol.
How to calculate Efficiency of First Filter Stage using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Efficiency of First Filter Stage, enter BOD Loading to Filter 2 (W'), Volume (VT) & Recirculation factor (F) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Efficiency of First Filter Stage calculation can be explained with given input values -> 99.94735 = 100/(1+(0.0561*sqrt(2.77777777777778E-05/(0.63*0.5)))).
