Operational Parameters<br />

The operational parameters menu contains settings for the aeration and backwashing of<br />

the filter.<br />

The solids capture fraction is used to determine the mass of solids captured on the filter.<br />

These solids are then removed via the<br />

The backwash flow rate and backwash duration per 24-hr period are used (along with<br />

the calculated captured solids) to calculate a mass flow of backwashed solids. The<br />

backwashed flow is converted from an intermittent event to a continuous flow of<br />

equivalent mass solids. This allows for the model to be solved using the steady-state<br />

solver.<br />

Details of the aeration setup can be found in the More... button under in the Aeration<br />

Setup section. (Figure 7-16)<br />

The remaining menus are equivalent to those found in the Trickling Filter Model.<br />
