4 Benefits of Sodium Zeolite Media for Drinking Water Filtration
Potable water treatment systems have little room for error after treatment at the risk of public health. Use of treatment systems that effectively target and treat toxic and undesirable contaminants is essential to drinking water production. There are typically four stages in a standard drinking water treatment system process, coagulation/.flocculation, sedimentation/clarification, filtration and ...

Field investigation of arsenic in ceramic pot filter-treated drinking water
Ceramic pot filters (CPFs) is one of several household water treatment technologies that is used to treat drinking water in developing areas. The filters have the advantage of being able to be manufactured using primarily locally available materials and local labor. However, naturallyoccurring arsenic present in the clay used to make the filters has the potential to contaminate the water in ...

Bacteria removal effectiveness of ceramic pot filters not applied with colloidal silver
In many developing countries such as Guatemala, access to safe drinking water is very limited. Many sources of water that are available are contaminated with bacteria, particularly Escherichia coli and other coliform bacteria. In order to provide a means of obtaining safe drinking water in developing countries, various methods of treating water at the household level have been developed and ...

Balancing efficiency and equity in long-run decision-making
The idea of this paper is that "intergenerational majority rule voting" can sometimes be both efficient and equitable, as formalised by an intergenerational application of the Arrow axioms. A decision by the US Environmental Protection Agency to require carbon filtration of drinking water on the grounds of intergenerational equity provides an intuitive example of "intergenerational majority rule ...

Removal of arsenic from drinking water using modified fly-ash bed
The removal of arsenic from drinking water by filtration through modified fly-ash bed is discussed. The preparation and characteristics of the bed material and the effects of different parameters like pH and the presence of other constituents are described. Various arsenic compounds in synthetic mixtures as well as drinking water samples containing arsenic have been investigated. The ...

All about ultrafiltration system, its mechanism, process, and application
An ultrafiltration system is based on numerous membrane filtrations, where pressure causes screening through a semipermeable membrane. In this method, the submerged solid particles and the solutes of greater mass are reserved within, and particles of low mass escape through membrane within the filtrate. Ultrafiltration system is widely used in various industries for water purification. These are ...

Continuous filament media revolutionize string wound cartridges
Depth filter cartridges made from a cotton string wound media and a metal core were first introduced in the market in the mid-1930s. By the late 1970s cartridges with a polypropylene (PP) core and yarn had become popular because they had a very wide range of chemical resistance, and therefore could be used in a wide variety of applications. Initially, the string media was a roving (a bulky ...

Nan H2O filtration Drinking Water Production – Membrane Filtration Municipality of Lac - Bouchette
Located in Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, Lac-Bouchette is a municipality of 1,400 inhabitants. For its supply in drinking water, the Roche Ltd Consulting Group recommended the municipality to call on H2O Innovation’s services. This, following a pilot study executed on the water of the Ouiatchouan lake that has been carried out from May till October 2003. The nanofiltration treatment system called ...

Use of anthropogenic gadolinium as a tracer for bank filtrate in drinking water wells
Knowledge of the amount of bank filtrate in raw water is crucial for drinking water suppliers using water wells in close proximity to rivers, in particular if those rivers are strongly affected by anthropogenic activities, e.g. receiving effluents from waste water treatment plants. Analysis of organic micropollutants as tracer compounds is costly and time-consuming, and results may be biased by ...

Ceramic membrane ultrafiltration of natural surface water with ultrasound enhanced backwashing
Ultrafiltration membrane cleaning with ultrasound enhanced backwashing was investigated with two ceramic membrane systems in parallel. One of them was subjected to ultrasound during backwashing, the other acted as a reference system. The feed water was directly taken from a creek with a sedimentation process as only pre-treatment. The cleaning performance was improved with ultrasound but after 3 ...

Separated adsorption and bacterial degradation of microcystins in GAC filtration
For removal of microcystins from drinking water, Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filtration has shown to be promising as it is not only an efficient adsorbent, but also can support biodegradation of microcystins, extending the lifetime of this application. In this study, a sterile and non-sterile GAC column, in addition to a sand column, was studied to distinguish the adsorption and ...

Drinking Water Treatment Municipality of Sainte-Geneviève de Batiscan, Quebec
A number of Quebec municipalities are confronted with feedwater problems of a bacteriological or physicochemical nature hardness, manganese, iron, dissolved solids) in the production of their drinking water. In many cases, these water sources do not meet government quality standards for drinking water. Membrane filtration preceded by the appropriate pretreatments can be a solution. Piloting ...

Removal of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol through biologically active sand filters
The removal of taste and odour compounds from drinking water is a constant challenge to water authorities. Although adverse odours do not present a risk to human health, their presence often leads to a misconception that the water is unsafe for drinking. 2-Methylisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin are the most common causes of earthy/musty odour, and are not easily removed by conventional treatment ...

Development of a model-based control system for membrane filtration process
Reduction of operational cost and certification of safety for treated water are required for the membrane filtration process for drinking water. Therefore a model-based control system is developed to reduce operational cost. A process model is used for the model-based control system that calculates the transmembrane pressure (TMP) in the future. This allows the model-based control system to ...

Design and management of rainwater harvesting systems to control water quality for potable purposes in Cu Khe, Vietnam
There are debates about whether rainwater is suitable as drinking water. A serious shortcoming of the debate is that there are differences in the design and management of rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems. This study is based on the performance of two RWH systems that are used for drinking purposes at a kindergarten and a primary school in Cu Khe, Vietnam. Each system comprised a painted ...

A brief history of water filtration/sedimentation
For millennia the search for ‘pure’ water has been pursued by humans. Criteria for purity have become more complex, more rigid, and more quantitative over time; however, the principles, methods, and material for purifying water have remained remarkably similar from the earliest recorded information of 2000 BC. The scope of this paper is to present a brief history of water ...
