Slow Sand Filters for the 21st Century: A Review.

Since organic removal occurs through (predominantly aerobic) biological processes, a slow sand filter's hydraulic residence time (HRT) is the key design parameter controlling the effluent water quality. In most technical reviews of slow sand filters, there is a general lack of appreciation for the HRT as the key design parameter.
