It is a prefilter, like you rightly observed.
Based on the current obseravtions from the work , the next step is to reduce the influent turbidity. What range might be considered appropriate?
Reply (bimr): And more questions???
The loaded column is held in place with a mesh and metal ring...
by headloss development i mean the preesure diffrential (pd) across the filter section. The increase of this (pd) is small.
Pressure gradient profiling? No i have not .
Thanks for your response and insights BobPE and bimr. let me provide some further information.

I am applying permeable filter media ( punched out from reticulated polyurethane) to prefilter a surface water. The filter run time is encouraging , so is the filteration efficiency. I am observing a lot of air bubbles in the column.
One of the causes of the bubbles might be increase in the...
