Identification: Trickling Filter (Percolating Filter)
Structure
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Filter bed | Crushed stones or cinder |
| Depth | 1 to 2 metres (4-8 ft) |
| Diameter | 2 to 30 metres (6-100 ft), depending on population size |
| Sprinkler | Revolving hollow pipes with holes that distribute effluent as a thin film |
Where It Fits in Sewage Treatment
- Preliminary treatment - screening and grit removal
- Primary treatment - primary sedimentation tank (removes 50-70% of suspended solids by gravity over 6-8 hours)
- Secondary treatment - the effluent from the primary tank still contains dissolved organic matter, colloidal material, and living organisms with high oxygen demand. It undergoes aerobic oxidation by one of two methods:
- (a) Trickling filter method ← this image
- (b) Activated sludge process
- Secondary sedimentation - oxidized sewage from the trickling filter is led into a secondary sedimentation (humus) tank
Mechanism of Action
- The effluent from the primary sedimentation tank is sprinkled uniformly onto the filter bed surface by the rotating arms.
- The bed is colonized by a complex biological growth of algae, fungi, protozoa, and bacteria - this is called the "zoogleal layer".
- As effluent percolates down through the bed, it is oxidized by the bacterial flora in the zoogleal layer.
- The action is purely biological, NOT mechanical filtration - the term "filter" is a misnomer.
- Wind blows freely through the open beds, supplying the oxygen needed by the zoogleal flora, so the filter does not need rest pauses.
- The zoogleal layer lives, grows, and dies. Dead material sloughs off and is washed down as a light green, flocculent material called "humus".
Advantages of the Trickling Filter
- Very efficient at purifying sewage
- No rest pauses needed (unlike intermittent sand filters)
- Natural aeration by wind - no mechanical aeration required
- Continuous operation
