Full Scale Drinking Water Filter Assessments: Mapping Backwash Protocols to Filter Health

Drinking Water Treatment Plants commonly employ filtration as one step in a multibarrier approach to ensuring safe drinking water is provided to Canadians. Filter bed maintenance includes various cleaning strategies including backwashing of filters to remove accumulated particles and contaminants. This project, working with the City of Ottawa, is aimed at mapping backwash protocols to filter cleaning in an in-depth manner to ensure all process are optimized for energy use and the production of safe, clean drinking water.
