Slow Sand Filters for the 21st Century: A Review

Wang et al. (2014) estimated the reduction in MS2 bacteriophages to be between 4 to 7 log 10 in CAWST concrete biosand filters with an average hydraulic residence time of 24 h [ 18 ]. Finally, a slow sand filter that used in a multistage filtration system achieved a 0.2 to 2.2 log 10 reduction in MS2 phages [ 77 ].
