We had mixed results with regards to Weber's equation for filter bed expansion. At low levels of filter bed expansion, the Weber equation accurately predicted the fluidization velocity required to achieve the targeted bed expansion. As the target bed expansion increased, so did the degree of error. At 9% expansion, the degree of error was at 14%. At 38% expansion, the degree of error was at 37%. \
Conservative Approach (Velocity of Backwash is 10 times the Velocity of Filtration)\
Sources of Error
