Abstract: The objective of this project was to evaluate the performance of a pressure
filter utilizing crushed glass as the filter
media in a dual media anthracite-glass filter compared to a dual media anthracite-sand filter….
It was found that the crushed glass used in this project had a higher angularity and a slightly higher uniformity coefficient than the sand tested. After
6 months of use the crushed glass filter was able to produce
a filter effluent of 50-70 particles/mL (diameter>2um), which is greater than the 25-50 particles/mL (diameter>2um) that was produced by sand filter……
