200 gallons per minute fluidized sand filter

Here is one of 4 large fluidized sand biofilter that I have at work.
They have 10 tons of sand per reactor for a surface are of 81 acres
and are capable of digesting 100 pounds of food per day. They have
ultra fine sand for total biofiltration in a single pass. We could
enlarge the sand to significantly increase the flow rate. Current
models are gettig 150 gpm out of a 42 inch diameter filter.
