Eutrophication linked to disinfection - by products problem in drinking water production
Eutrophication is one of those big problems that cause water quality degradation. Presence of cyanobacterial toxins and climate change impacts would degrade water quality towards the worst. In regard to the mentioned problems, disinfection-by products strongly act as a consequence of drinking water production. Continue reading the full ...

Pilot plant trials: management of membrane concentrate
In surface water nanofiltration (NF) for drinking water production, 15 to 25% of the feed is rejected by the membranes. Two complementary approaches are investigated in order to manage concentrates. On one hand, an additional NF stage allows an increase in the yield of drinking water production from 85 to 94%. Thirty-days filtration cycles are achieved. Conductivity, natural organic matter (NOM) ...

A Simple Method to Reduce Disinfection By-product Formation
The formation of disinfection byproducts (DBP) during drinking water production has long been of concern toauthorities and consumers alike. Although most disinfectants form unwanted DBPs there is particular concern withchlorine disinfection as a variety of chlorinated compounds are formed with possible adverse health effects, includingtrihalomethanes (THMs). Strategies for controlling THM ...

Membrane retrofit maintains safe drinking water production - Case Study
Problem The ultrafiltration (UF) membrane cartridges used in the City of Del Rio (Texas) Water Treatment Plant needed frequent fiber repairs and had reached the end of their useful life. However, replacement using the existing specified membranes was beyond the facility’s budget, forcing the city to pursue a retrofit. Most potential replacements either could not fit the existing footprint ...

Riverbank filtration in India – using ecosystem services to safeguard human health
India has great potential to use riverbank filtration (RBF) for drinking water production as an ecosystem service for human health, principally through effective removal of common waterborne pathogens, even during monsoon. Water quality results from site investigations in North India have shown a removal of total and faecal coliform (indicator) bacteria in the range of 1.3 to >5.2 log ...

Incidental potable water reuse in a Catalonian basin: living downstream
A preliminary assessment of incidental potable water reuse (IPR) in the Llobregat River basin has been conducted by estimating the dilution factor of treated effluent discharges upstream of six river flow measurement sections. IPR in the Llobregat River basin is an everyday occurrence, because of the systematic discharge of treated effluents upstream of river sections used as drinking water ...

Source tracking of Enterococcus moraviensis and E. haemoperoxidus
Enterococci were detected occasionally in 100 L samples of water abstracted from a shallow aquifer in a natural dune infiltration area for drinking water production. Enterococcus moraviensis was the species most frequently identified in these samples. Because there are no existing reports of faecal sources of E. moraviensis and the closely related E. hemoperoxidus, this study aimed to find ...

Mechano-chemical ageing of PES/PVP ultrafiltration membranes used in drinking water production
In water treatment by microfiltration and ultrafiltration, a major concern is the integrity loss or failure of membrane induced by onsite operations, potentially leading to permeate water contamination. This study aims to provide a better understanding of the phenomena responsible for membrane damage by analyzing its causes and effects. The role of sodium hypochlorite exposure conditions and ...

Issues of drinking water quality of small scale water services towards climate change
As climate change could impact water quantity and quality, important concerns are related to water quality degradation in small scale water services (SSWS). SSWS using surface waters resources (rivers and lakes) for drinking water production are particularly vulnerable to short term transient events due to their low adaptation capacity and their lack of support and technical knowledge compared to ...

Characterization and comparison of iron oxyhydroxide precipitates from biotic and abiotic groundwater treatments
Removal of iron is an important step in groundwater treatment for drinking water production. It is performed to prevent organoleptic issues and clogging in water supply systems. Iron can be eliminated with a purely physico-chemical (abiotic) method or biotically with the help of iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB). Each of the purification methods requires different operating conditions and ...

Ageing and Characterization of PES Ultrafiltration Membranes Exposed to Hypochlorite
Polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration (UF) hollow fibers are widely used for drinking water production. During onsite operation, backwashing (brief, high occurrence, low concentration in free chlorine: 10 ppm to 20 ppm) and chemical washing (longer, less frequent, high concentration in free chlorine: 200 ppm to 400 ppm) are applied to PES fibers to ensure their proper functioning. Impact of ...

Biodegradation of natural organic matter in long-term, continuous-flow experiments simulating artificial ground water recharge for drinking water production
The role of biodegradation in the attenuation of natural organic matter (NOM) was investigated in long-term experiments that simulate artificial ground water recharge (AGR) for drinking water production. Lake water containing 5.8 mg L–1 total organic carbon (TOC) was continuously fed into an 18.5-m-long sand column. During the 941 d of operation, on average 76 and 81% of TOC was removed within ...

Zirconium and chitosan coagulants for drinking water treatment – a pilot study
Scientists continuously search for alternative coagulants that would be able to outperform traditionally used aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe). Use of a novel metal coagulant zirconium (Zr) has been associated with enhanced organic matter reduction. On the other hand, eco-friendly non-metal solutions, such as chitosan, can provide non-toxic sludge and water with no metal residue. In fact, Zr and ...
