Research Impact

Evaluates the degree of improved DBP precursor removal by full-scale water treatment plants optimized for precursor removal rather than removal of turbidity or hardness. Assesses costs and the degree of increased precursor removal as a function of source water characteristics, season, treatment technique, and optimized treatment strategy. Research partner: USEPA.
