CE 579 Depth Filtration Didactic Equipment Vocational Training Equipment Fluid Mechanics Lab Equipment
Demonstration of depth filtration and backwashing of filters Features - filtration and backwash - pressure conditions in a filter - software for control and data acquisition Learning objectives/experiments - pressure conditions in a filter - factors influencing the pressure loss (Darcy's law) -- flow rate -- height of the filter bed -- permeability of the filter bed - determine the pressure in the filter bed (Micheau diagram) - backwash of filters -- observe the fluidisation process -- determine the expansion of the filter bed -- determine the required flow velocity (fluidisation velocity) Specification [1] depth filtration and backwash [2] separate supply unit with tank and pump for raw water [3] pump for backwashing the filter [4] 10 tube manometers to measure the pressures [5] plotting of Micheau diagrams [6] electromagnetic flow rate sensor [7] 4 ball valves with motor [8] measurement of flow rate, differential pressure, system pressure and temperature [9] control of flow velocity [10] software with control functions and data acquisition via USB under Windows 10
