Abstract:Pressurized sand media filters are commonly used in drip irrigation systems to prevent emitter clogging. However, the performance of these filters may be improved with more information about the retention of solids at different bed depths under different filter operation conditions and irrigation water sources. In this study, experiments in a scaled sand media filter were conducted to clog the filter with two different filtration velocities (30 and 60 m h−1) and two-particle types (inorganic from A4 coarse san… Show more
“…Together with chemical treatments, pressurized media filters are used in drip irrigation systems to prevent emitter clogging, especially when using reclaimed water. Duran-Ros et al [4] stated that the performance of these filters may be improved with more information about the retention of solids at different bed depths under different filter operation conditions and irrigation-water sources. In their study, experiments in a scaled sand medium filter were conducted to clog the filter at two different filtration velocities (30 and 60 m h −1 ) and two particle types (coarse sand dust and organics from a reclaimed effluent).…”
