PERFORMANCE OF PLASTIC FILTER CLOTHS AS A REPLACEMENT FOR GRANULAR FILTER MATERIALS
AN INVESTIGATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF PLASTIC FILTER CLOTHS, USED TO REPLACE GRANULAR FILTER MATERIALS, IS DESCRIBED. LABORATORY OR FIELD PERFORMANCE DATA, OR BOTH, ARE GIVEN ON 8 CLOTHS. LABORATORY TESTS WERE CONDUCTED ON 7 CLOTHS TO DETERMINE THEIR CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES (E.G., OPENING SIZE, PERCENTAGE OF OPEN AREA, STRENGTH, ABSORPTION, RESISTANCE TO WEATHERING, AND REACTION TO VARIOUS CHEMICALS) AND THEIR FILTERING ABILITIES. INFORMATION ON USES AND PERFORMANCE OF FILTER CLOTHS AT CORPS OF ENGINEERS PROJECTS IS GIVEN. RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE FOR FILTER CRITERIA AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CLOTHS FOR USE IN THE DESIGN OF DRAINAGE SYSTEMS AND THE PROCUREMENT OF THE FILTER CLOTH. /AUTHOR/
