Research Impact
Evaluates the efficacy of roughing filtration as a pretreatment for additional clarification of raw water for small communities where simplicity of treatment is important. Uses laboratory-scale filters to determine key design features. Also develops a mathematical model of roughing filtration and verifies it by pilot-scale filtration units. Published in 1994.
