This article discusses the different factors of diatomite filtration which may be optimized before the proper body feed, filtration rate, and terminal head loss can be selected. The overall optimum body feed, optimum filtration rate, and optimum terminal head loss combine to produce potable water at the minimum cost per gallon. These optimums are influenced by four cost factors: labor, power, diatomite, and equipment.
