Calculate the flow rate of the backwash pump to be used for a multimedia filter with the following data. Flowrate: 2200 m3/h Rise velocity of multimedia filter: 18 m/h

Calculate the flow rate of the backwash pump to be used for a multimedia filter with the following data. Flowrate: 2200 m3/h Rise velocity of multimedia filter: 18 m/h Correct Answer 2900 m3/ h

First the area of the filter is found out. Area = 2200/18=122 m2. Then by multiplying area x the velocity of the backwash pump assumed we derive at the flowrate. Flowrate= 122 m2 x 24 m/h = 2900 m3/h.
