Environmental Engineering Practice Test: Filtration — Flashcards

In environmental engineering, filtration is the process of removing particles from water. This process involves a number of mechanisms, including: Straining, Flocculation, Sedimentation, Surface capture.

Filtration involves using a filter medium to separate solid particles from a liquid or gaseous mixture. The filter allows the fluid to pass through but holds the solid particles.
 

Topics include: Theory and classification of Filtration, Filter Media, Slow Sand Filter, Rapid Sand Filter, Problems in Filter Operation, Comparison Between Slow and Rapid Sand Filter, Filtration Hydraulics, Pressure Filter, Dual Media and Mixed Media Filter, & Various Other Filters.
