In BioLOS-5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 units, a sand filter is used for post-treatment. Water passes through a sand layer and is freed from fine suspended contaminants. Air is supplied periodically to loosen the sand. In the BioLOS-50 unit, a drum microfilter is used. The operating principle of mesh drum filters is as follows: treated water continuously flows through the inlet pipe into the drum, is filtered through mesh filter elements, and enters the installation chamber, from where it flows over a weir into the discharge channel for purified water. The drum is not fully submerged in water; its upper section (approximately 0.15 of the diameter) remains above water. When the filter element reaches the upper position, contaminants are washed off by water jets from the flushing device into hoppers inside the drum, then discharged into the sewer system. The mesh drums are washed periodically depending on the level of contamination.
