Granular Media Filter Backwash

Much of our group’s work deals with membranes, which are gaining traction in the industry as a water filtration solution. At the same time, we have to recognize that granular media filtration is far and away the most common filtration method that is actually practiced. Today you probably drank water that was passed through a granular media filter.

For my water treatment class I created a video showing the backwash step of a filter. It’s a pretty interesting process.
