Mathematical formulation of suspended solids removal in contact-flocculation filtration is complex since both flocculation and suspended solids removal occur within the filter bed itself. In this study, a mathematical formulation based on O'Melia and Alis' model was developed for contact flocculation-filtration incorporating the flocculation phenomena in ideal conditions. This model was then extended to mobile bed filtration with contact flocculation-filtration arrangement and verified with laboratory-scale mobile bed filter experimental results obtained.
