The filter over which sewage is sprinkled is called as A. Trickling filter B. Percolating filter C. Contact bed D. Intermittent sand filter

Trickling filter
Percolating filter
Contact bed
Intermittent sand filter

The correct answer is: A. Trickling filter

A trickling filter is a type of biological wastewater treatment system that uses a bed of rocks or other media to support a biofilm of microorganisms. The wastewater is sprayed or trickled over the media, and the microorganisms in the biofilm break down the organic matter in the wastewater.

Trickling filters are a relatively simple and inexpensive type of wastewater treatment system, and they are widely used in both small and large treatment plants. They are also relatively energy-efficient, as they do not require the use of pumps or other mechanical equipment.

However, trickling filters can be susceptible to clogging and fouling, and they may require periodic cleaning or replacement of the media.

other media to support a biofilm of microorganisms. The wastewater is sprayed or trickled over the media, and the microorganisms in the biofilm break down the organic matter in the wastewater.
  • A percolating filter is a type of biological wastewater treatment system that uses a bed of gravel or other coarse material to support a biofilm of microorganisms. The wastewater is allowed to percolate through the bed, and the microorganisms in the biofilm break down the organic matter in the wastewater.
  • A contact bed is a type of physical wastewater treatment system that uses a bed of activated carbon to remove organic matter from the wastewater. The wastewater is passed through the bed of activated carbon, and the organic matter is adsorbed onto the carbon.
  • An intermittent sand filter is a type of physical wastewater treatment system that uses a bed of sand to remove suspended solids from the wastewater. The wastewater is passed through the bed of sand, and the suspended solids are trapped in the sand.
