Patent ·
OSTI ID:6616574

A liquid-tight enclosure is partially filled with water. A container supports a porous bed of sand and gravel that is partially submerged in the liquid. The lower end of the porous bed is spaced upward from the bottom of the enclosure. A gas delivery duct feeds gas to a location vertically beneath the porous bed to enable a stream of gas to pass upwardly through the porous bed, drawing water with it to continuously clean the gravel.
