A high-rate trickling filter (HRTF) differs from a standard-rate filter in that HRTF has:
Choose the correct answer
Lower hydraulic loading, finer media
Higher hydraulic loading (recirculation) and coarser media (40-100 mm), with recycle ratio 1-8
No recirculation
Lower BOD removal efficiency always
Correct Answer
B. Higher hydraulic loading (recirculation) and coarser media (40-100 mm), with recycle ratio 1-8
AI Detailed Explanation & IS Code Reference
Unlock the reasoning, formula path and code-linked notes inside your student dashboard.
High-rate TF: hydraulic loading = 10-40 m3/m2/day (with recirculation), media size 40-100 mm, recycle ratio 1-8. Standard TF: hydraulic loading 1-4 m3/m2/day, media 25-75 mm, no recirculation. HRTF gives >85% BOD removal in 2-pass systems.
