Future Challenges:
The design is based on a several assumptions that need to be validated with experiments.
Specifically, we need to test the water quality effects of using effluent sedimentation water to backwash the filter, efficiency of 20 cm layer of sand to filter settled water, clogging time of 20 cm of layer when exposed to typical sedimentation effluent water, the effect of the number of tubes per plane on filtration efficiency, bench scale model to test backwash effectiveness with regards to bed expansion and effectiveness of our backwash procedure. All of these will be covered more in detail in the Future Challenge Section.
