Abstract
Abstract A filter bed is backwashed in a batch operation with backwash fluid and gas to dislodge particulates from the bed. The flow of gas is terminated, and the gas is flushed from the bed by additional amounts of backwash fluid. After a settling period, the backwash fluid and the dislodged particulates are siphoned from above the filter bed.
