Effect of Filtration Units on Contact Time Required for Removal of Microorganisms

Abstract : Through five months in 2003-2004 many samples of water were drawn from Al - Wathba water treatment plant in Baghdad city , certinely from the intake and before and after filtration units . Biological analysis on these samples has been done and the results show the ability of filters in re...

description Abstract : Through five months in 2003-2004 many samples of water were drawn from Al - Wathba water treatment plant in Baghdad city , certinely from the intake and before and after filtration units . Biological analysis on these samples has been done and the results show the ability of filters in removal total bacteria and coliform bacteria with rate of 53 % and 57 % respectively . Also this research denote the statistical correlation between residual turbidity and microorganisms with coefficient of determination R² equal 0.964 . The reducing in contact time required for removal of coliform bacteria was 64.12 % for filtered water compaired with raw water , so this may gain health and economical benefits .
