Automated cartridge filter with recyclable media for surface runoff treatment

Summary

The key environmental aspects of populous cities and regions, as well as the problems of surface runoff disposal are described. The current issues of designing an automated cartridge filter for pre-treatment of surface runoff using recyclables – crushed rubber crumb – as a filter media are considered. The process solutions for using a hardware and software suite for surface runoff pretreatment are presented. The cartridge filter design is presented with the main parameters and operating principle calculated. A description of the unit is provided together with the algorithm for the combined operation with the software designed for monitoring and quality control of surface runoff entering the cartridge filter for pretreatment.
