filtration speed is the flow related to the cross-sectional area of the bed, determining the contact time and hydraulic losses.

What does filtration speed mean in practice?

Is the flow related to the cross-sectional area of ​​the bed, usually expressed in m/h, and not the velocity in the connection pipe.

When does it matter?

Its increase shortens the contact time and may increase breakthrough, resistance or sediment removal through the layer.

Which solutions are related to it?

The column diameter is selected according to the peak flow and allowable speed of the specific process.
