The Filtration Team will conduct research on existing foam/bag filtration and granular filtration technology, develop an initial filtration design, conduct experiments to validate design, and produce a final design based on experimental results. The Filtration Team has currently conducted research on three possible options: Sipon-Aided backwash, backwash clear well, and foam filtration.

The Clear Well Team's focus is to determine if a gravity driven clear well filter design is feasible technically and economically. A clear well is one of the few options that allows a filter to be cleaned without using electricity. The clear well cleans the filter by backwashing the filter with water stored at a higher elevation than the filter bed.
