A rapid filter plant is to produce a maximum flow of 23,000 m³/day. The nominal filtration rate is 120 m/day and is not to exceed 180 m/day with one filter being backwashed nor 240 m/day with one filter being backwashed and one filter out of service. Determine the number of units required and the individual filter area. How much water is required to wash one filter if the backwash rate is 1 m/min and the duration is 10 min?

A rapid sand filter is required to treat the flow of 0.50 m³/sec. The filtration rate is 120 m³ per day per m² of filter area. Each filter is washed for 5 minutes every 24 hours. at a wash rate of 15 mm per second per m² of filter area. The filter remains out of operation for a total interval of 30 minutes per day. Calculate the minimum number of filters required if the area of each filter is 50 m².
