Analysis of Ultraviolet Disinfection on Microbial Activity and Validation of Rapid Testing Methods
(2017-11-30)A faster testing method for quantifying microbiological contamination in wastewater is proposed and validated in this research. ATP analysis, in conjunction with incubation in a nutrient broth to is used to better represent ... -
EXPLORING DECADAL INCREASES IN THE CONCENTRATION OF NATURAL ORGANIC MATTER AND THE IMPACT ON SURFACE DRINKING WATER TREATMENT PROCESSES
(2023-04-13)Natural organic matter (NOM) is prevalent in surface waters and impacts all aspects of drinking water treatment. In recent decades, there have been reports of increasing NOM concentration (often referred to as brownification) ... -
Investigating the generation efficiency, growth and structure of flocs produced by electrocoagulation
(2015)Electrocoagulation (EC) is a water treatment technology that releases metal cations into solution from sacrificial anodes. Compared to chemical coagulation (CC), EC’s advantages (e.g., solid metal electrodes, reduced ... -
INVESTIGATION OF BIOLOGICAL FILTRATION FOR REMOVAL OF MANGANESE FROM DRINKING WATER
(2019-11-28)Reduced iron and manganese in drinking water can cause aesthetic concerns and manganese has potential neurotoxic effects. Biofiltration is a proven but poorly understood method for removal of manganese from drinking water. ... -
MECHANISTIC STUDY OF RAW WATER BIOFILTRATION FOR SURFACE WATER MANGANESE CONTROL
(2023-11-10)Biofiltration is a sustainable method for removing dissolved manganese (Mn) from water. This treatment is well established in groundwater studies, where a simple aeration-biofiltration designs are used to remove Mn, iron ... -
Optimization of Residuals Management at a Drinking Water Treatment Facility
(2016-03-07)Drinking water treatment processes that use aluminum sulfate as a coagulant produce residuals streams with high levels of aluminum which must be treated before being discharged to the environment, and the treatment process ...
