Virus removal efficiency of ceramic water filters: effects of bentonite turbidity
Ceramic water filters (CWFs) are utilized in many developing countries as point-of-use (POU) water treatment devices, to reduce waterborne pathogens in potable water. Virus removal efficiencies of several CWFs are investigated under various influent conditions using MS2 (ATCC: 15597-B1) as a surrogate phage for human enteric viruses. The addition of bentonite turbidity (6–8 NTU) in the ...

Removal of contaminants and pathogens from secondary effluents using intermittent sand filters
Intermittent infiltration percolation of wastewater through unsaturated sand bed is an extensive treatment technique aimed at eliminating organic matter, oxidizing ammonium and removing pathogens. The main purpose of this study was to determine the depuration efficiencies of a sand filter to remove contaminants from secondary wastewater effluents. Elimination of pathogenic bacteria (total and ...

Evaluating membrane performance in recycled water treatment plants for assets replacement strategy
Membranes are an important barrier used in recycled water treatment plants for pathogen removal. Understanding performance over operational life is important to inform membrane replacement. In this study, full scale virus challenge testing was conducted on newly commissioned membranes to validate virus log removal values for accreditation. After six years of operation, the membrane integrity ...

Simultaneous removal of rotavirus and adenovirus from artificial ground water using hydrochar derived from swine feces
Hydrothermal carbonization technology can convert fecal waste into a valuable carbonaceous product referred to as hydrochar. We investigated the potential of fecal waste-derived hydrochar as an adsorbent for virus removal in water treatment. Swine feces was hydrothermally treated under two conditions: at 180 °C for 2 h and 230 °C for 7 h. The resulting solid products (hydrochar) were ...

Efficacy of a ceramic siphon household water filter for removal of pathogenic microorganisms: lifespan volume test
Treatment of drinking water at the point of use (POU) has demonstrated health benefits for people who have access only to microbially contaminated drinking water. In this work, the ceramic siphon POU water filter was evaluated for its ability to reduce indicator microorganisms in test waters. During batch challenge tests, the filter reduced Escherichia coli in filtered water by 7 log10 ...

UF Membrane Technology
UF Membrane Technology Ultrafiltration (UF) is a variety of membrane filtration in which forces, such as pressure or concentration gradients, cause separation through the semi-permeable membrane. High molecular weight suspended solids and solutes remain in the so-called retentate while water and low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane in the permeate (filtrate). The pore size of ...

UF Purification versus Microfiltration, Which Process To Choose For Your Application?
Anyone who has studied at the very least high school level biology (and paid attention) is familiar with the concept of a membrane, in particular a semi-permeable membrane. Biological living cells are wrapped in semi-permeable membranes that keep their functions separate from the surrounding environment. The semi-permeable aspect allows only certain ions and organic molecules to pass into or out ...

The History of Water Distribution and Treatment
Introduction Ancient water distribution and treatment methods originated millennia before principles of modern hydraulic design, such as conservation of mass, energy, and momentum, were even put to thought [1]. Spending most of human history as hunters and gatherers, only in the last 10,000 years did civilizations develop more sophisticated means of agriculture-use and, in turn, water ...
