(57) (I) Test Grouping
(58) The test was divided into 10 groups, 5 experimental groups and 5 control groups. The 5 experimental groups were set up according to Examples 1-5 of the present invention. The 5 control groups apply filter brick (model: KS-008) available from Hunan Kesheng Water Co., Ltd. The distinguishing features of the filter bricks of the experimental group 1-5 and the control groups 1-5 are shown in Table 1, and the remaining conditions were set in correspondence with the experimental groups.

(63) (III) Test Apparatus
(64) High-definition camera; processor containing Nikon image analysis software NIS-Elements; pump; sewage pump; ultrasonic generator; blower; turbidity detector.
(65) (IV) Test Methods
(66) In the first step, the filter bricks from the experimental groups and the control groups are first laid in the corresponding filter pools as required, and the filter pools containing the experimental groups and the control groups are subjected to pollution treatment according to the conditions of step (2).
(67) In the second step, after discharging the sewage using the sewage pump, clean water are pumped through the water pump and inject into each filter pool, respectively, until the water surface is 10 cm above the upper surface of the filter brick, and high-definition camera is set up 3 m directly above the filter pool, and the filter pools containing the experimental groups and the control groups are again subject to gas flushing using a blower with different flushing strengths, follow the condition of steps (2), or to gas flushing using a blower with different flushing strengths in company with an ultrasonic assisted flushing of corresponding frequency, and stop after 10 min; During the process, the HD camera captured the water surface at a frequency of 10 seconds and transmitted the images to the background. The homogeneity of the bubbles was analyzed by a processor containing Nikon image analysis software NIS-Elements, and the average value was finally calculated. The results are shown in Table 3;
(68) In the third step, the sewage after backwash treatment is pumped out by the sewage pump, and then fresh water are pumped using the pump and injected into each filter, respectively, until the water surface is 10 cm above the top surface of the filter brick, and the experimental group and the control group are subject to backwash test using the blower with 17 L/(s.Math.m2) flushing strength respectively. After 1 min, the turbidity of the filter water containing the experimental group and the control group was measured 10 times using a turbidity detector and average is calculated (using the specification of 10 NTU as the evaluation standard), the test results are shown in Table 3;
(69) TABLE-US-00003 TABLE 3 Backwash detection results for experimental groups 1-5 and control groups 1-5 Average Turbidity Group distribution average experimen 91 8.7 control 73 19.3 experimen 90 7.5 control 78 17.9 experimen 93 4.1 control 53 14.6 experimen 95 3.9 control 57 13.5 experimen 96 2.5 control 54 15.2
(70) It can be seen from Table 2 that the uniformity of the gas distribution of the experimental groups 1-5 of the present invention is all over 90% and the highest is up to 96%, while in the control group 1-2 without ultrasonic assistance, the highest uniformity of the gas distribution is 78%, and in the control group 3-5 with ultrasonic assistance, since the control group uses conventional filter bricks, the structure therebetween is loose, and the filter brick itself is not conducive to the uniform transmission of the ultrasonic wave, resulting in a significant decrease in the uniformity of the gas distribution. However, ultrasound can play a role in the deep cleaning of the interior of the filter brick. Therefore, the average turbidity of the control groups 3-5 is lower than that of the control groups 1-2. In addition, the turbidity averages of examples 1-5 of the present invention are all under the specification standard of 10 NTU, while in the control group under the same conditions, the turbidity averages are not under the specification standard of 10 NTU, and therefore need to extend the backwashing time so as to achieve a better backwashing effect, which in turn will increase the energy consumption of the apparatus. In contrast, the present invention achieves excellent results in a shorter time, ie, lower energy consumption.
