<br />

contact time – detention time; do not confuse contact time with concentration time<br />

detention time – time that allows large particles to settle out from the flow of water<br />

through gravity<br />

filtration –the last barrier between the treatment process and the customer; filters trap<br />

or remove particles from the water further reducing the cloudiness or turbidity;<br />

conventional filtrate plants require large areas of land to construct sedimentation basins<br />

and employ detention time process; the direct filtration process eliminates<br />

sedimentation to have a shorter run time, use less land, and requires more frequent<br />

backwashing to clean the filters.<br />
