Abstract
Development and Evaluation of Ultrafiltration Methods to Concentrate Pathogens from Reclaimed Water was designed with the goal of developing a simple, effective ultrafiltration (UF) procedure to detect multiple pathogens in reclaimed water. The project focused on elution as the key technique for achieving high recoveries. Findings suggest that the UF-elution method will work equally well with a variety of ultrafilters and that staff at water reclamation facilities can select the most appropriate ultrafilter based on cost or operational characteristics.
Originally funded as WERF project Reuse-04-13.
