Determining if a Water Treatment Plant is Exceeding Its Capacity ... although filter performance declines as the filter rate increases, the decline is gradual. A filter operating at 5.5 gpm/sf (gallons/minutes/square foot) performs nearly as well as the same filter operating at 5 gpm/sf. Likewise, a horizontal settling basin operating at 1.1 gpm/sf performs nearly as well as the same basin operating at 1.0 gpm/sf. Although turbidity removal does not directly predict the removal of microorganisms, it is the only standard method the industry has today for monitoring the removal of particulates.
