The mechanical design of water treatment equipment to provide a proper contact of water and media is as important as the selection of the media itself. Flow that is too fast or too slow may lead to inadequate contact time, channeling, excessive pressure drop and incomplete contaminant removal. This presentation will explore flow through pipes, connectors, valves, tanks, laterals and media with helpful hints on design.
