Abstract

Water is a key input for all agricultural practices. It plays a vital role in progress of agriculture in form of irrigation. This research conducted has the objective to evaluate filtration efficiency on water quality. The filtration efficiency was determined for the known concentration of impurities i.e. 100, 200, 300 and 400 ppm for sand, screen and disc filter at three constant flow rates viz. 1.5 lps, 2 lps and 2.5 lps. The pressure drop characteristics were monitored at inlet and outlet of the filters. The result of experiment depicts that the filtration efficiency decreased with increase in levels of concentrations of impurities. The efficiency of the disc filter was found maximum, followed by the screen and sand filter. The pressure drop across the filter increased with different levels of concentration of impurities with elapsed time and flow rates. It was found that the time required to develop 5 m of pressure drop across the disc filter was minimum, followed by the screen and sand filter.
