A trickling filter is a type of wastewater treatment system. It consists of a fixed bed of rocks, coke, gravel, slag, polyurethane foam, sphagnum peat moss, ceramic, or plastic media over which sewage or other wastewater flows downward and causes a layer of microbial slime (biofilm) to grow, covering the bed of media.
How to Calculate Hydraulic Loading to each Filter?
Hydraulic Loading to each Filter calculator uses Hydraulic loading = (1+Recirculation Ratio)*Waste water flow/(Area*1440) to calculate the Hydraulic loading, Hydraulic Loading to each Filter is defined in a wastewater treatment process unit as the volume of wastewater applied to the surface of the process unit per time period. It is often expressed in gallons per day per square foot. Hydraulic loading is denoted by H symbol.
