Performance and Hydraulics of Lateral Flow Sand Filters for On-Site Wastewater Treatment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the performance of six lateral flow sand filters (LFSFs) for their treatment of septic tank effluent in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada. This report presents LFSF performance data collected during the first ...
Effects of Hydraulic Loading Rate and Filter Length on the Performance of Lateral Flow Sand Filters for On-Site Wastewater Treatment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: On-site treatment of residential wastewater is important for rural and remote regions where centralized wastewater treatment may not be feasible. Sand filtration is a proven method for secondary treatment of septic tank ...
Development of a Linear Program to Optimize Sludge Management Planning in Nunavut, Canada
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The preparation and development of sludge management plans for waste stabilization ponds in Nunavut communities require the selection of processing options that are both appropriate for each community and minimize the total ...
Modeling Phosphorus Treatment Capacities of On-Site Wastewater Lateral Flow Sand Filters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The lateral flow sand filter (LFSF) is an on-site wastewater technology widely used to treat septic tank effluent (STE) in Nova Scotia, Canada. In this study, linear and nonlinear isotherm models (accounting for both ...
