Reducing Volatile Disinfection By-Products in Treated Drinking Water Using Aeration Technologies

Abstract

This project provides a comprehensive picture of the formation and removal of Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) in a water treatment plant clearwell and evaluates the feasibility of aeration technologies for helping utilities meet the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection By-products Rule (Stage 2 DBPR). Research Partners: EPA and WERF. Published in 2015.

Originally funded as WERF project INFR1SG09k
