Typical Treatment Flow Rates in GPM

Source

Required Degree of Sanitation

Means of Sanitation Typically Filtration + Glass Media

Fertigation and Conditioning

Pathogen Contamination

Any runoff field water (tail water incl. differential) and coupled ponds from Overhead/drip irrigation, of For discharge or intermediate storage and re-use after further treatment Outdoors/greenhouses

5 – 60

TNTC Colony levels

Low to medium

Possible filtration (glass) on discharged water

Filtration (Glass) Oxygen Copper Ionization Possible CO2 pH control Possible H202 Injection (27%)

Runoff field water (tail water incl. differential) and coupled ponds from Overhead/drip irrigation, often collected in pond For Re-use Outdoors/greenhouses

5 – 60

High; Glass Media Filtration In slow sand filter, likely vault

Medium to high, topical microbial w/ vegetables Coliform and EColi kills

As needed to adjust nutrients, surface tension and DO levels

Glass Media Filtration, Oxygen, Copper Ionization, Possible H202 Injection (27%)

Leachate from closed drip and overhead watering (typical for vegetables) Greenhouses, fields and hydroponics

5 – 60 GPM (with or without recirculation)

Medium to high

High; possible topical microbial Coliform and EColi kills

As needed to adjust nutrients, surface tension and DO levels

Filtration w/ slow sand, Filtration w/ glass, O2 Oxygen Copper Ionization

Recirculating Water from Closed Irrigation Systems, Flood Floors/Benches, Gutters.

30 – 1200

Medium to high

As needed to adjust nutrients, surface tension and DO levels

Filtration w/ Copper Ionization, possible CO2 pH control

Fresh Water from Well, Surface, Public water supply

5 -1200

Low to medium
