| Abstract |
In treating chemically coagulated and filtered secondary sewage effluent, granular activated carbon columns operated as upflow counter-current columns produced an effluent of consistently good quality. An average of 740 pounds of carbon per million gallons of waste water treated has been removed from the carbon columns and regenerated. High turbidity in the carbon column influent during the plant startup resulted in mechanical fouling of the carbon. It was found that by downflushing the columns that the adverse effects of mechanical fouling could be reduced and the carbon dose decreased. |
