Identification of the bacterial population in manganese removal filters
The aim of this study was to identify bacteria present in ripened manganese removal filters for drinking water production. The bacterial population was identified with ‘next generation’ DNA sequencing, and specific bacteria were quantified with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry ...

Effectiveness of oxidative filter materials for manganese removal from groundwater
The experiments reported in this paper were conducted at a pilot plant consisting of filtration columns filled with oxidative filter materials. The installation was supplied with water containing manganese in concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 1.4 mg/L. The aim of the experiments was to determine the effectiveness of manganese removal on the three filter media as a function of their internal ...

Filtration and manganese removal
Manganese removal through a filter bed is generally carried out and accepted by practitioners and researchers as occurring through catalytic oxidation at the surface of MnO2 coated media, although manganese passage through a coated media filter has been little investigated. To better understand the kinetics of Mn removal through a naturally coated filter, a pilot plant consisting of four filter ...

Effect of oxygen deprivation on treatment processes in a full-scale drinking water biofilter
Dissolved oxygen is critical for proper operation of waterworks that utilize anaerobic groundwater and rely on biofilters to remove iron, manganese and ammonium. In these biofilters, planned or inadvertent oxygen deprivation may occur for a variety of reasons. The water quality effects of oxygen deprivation on the function of drinking water biofilters, however, have not previously been ...

The role of backwash in start-up of full-scale drinking water biofilters
The purpose of backwashing during the start-up period of rapid biofilters at drinking water treatment plants differs significantly from the purpose of backwashing during normal operation. During start-up, finished water quality is secondary, detachment of microorganisms must be minimized, dust present in the original filter media must be removed and inherent inoculation of the biofilter with ...

Biological filtration of poor quality brackish water reducing Reverse Osmosis membrane fouling
Abstract A primary limitation in applying Reverse Osmosis (RO) is loss of performance caused by membrane fouling resulting from compounds that bacteria can use as energy or nutrient sources. When these compounds enter RO membranes, they are capable of sustaining extensive bacterial growths on the membrane sheets as well as within feed channel spacers. This leads to the entrapment of particles ...
