Most modern water-treatment plants now use rapid dual-media filters following coagulation and sedimentation. A dual-media filter consists of a layer of anthracite coal above a layer of fine sand. The upper layer of coal traps most of the large floc, and the finer sand grains in the lower layer trap smaller impurities. 5, record 1, English, - dual%2Dmedia%20filter

Un filtre à double couche(CAG [charbon actif en grains] et sable) est utilisé lorsque la réduction de la turbidité, ainsi que l'adsorption et l'élimination des contaminants sont regroupées dans un procédé faisant intervenir un seul appareil. Le filtre à double couche(habituellement situé après la sédimentation) sera probablement exposé à de plus fortes concentrations de COD [carbone organique dissous], et ce filtre sera épuisé plus rapidement. 5, record 1, French, - filtre%20%C3%A0%20double%20couche
