What are the operational problems in filtration in water treatment plants

AI Thread Summary
Operational problems in filtration at water treatment plants include issues such as clogging of filters, inadequate backwashing processes, and the management of filter media. Additionally, the variability in water quality can lead to inconsistent filtration performance, requiring constant monitoring and adjustments. Maintenance challenges and the need for regular inspections are also critical to ensure efficient operation. These problems can significantly impact the overall effectiveness of water treatment processes. Understanding these issues is essential for civil engineering students and professionals in the field.

I imagine whole books are written on that subject.
 

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
