Guidance and recommendations for posttreatment of desalinated waterJournal - American Water Works Association - Tập 104 Số 9 - 2012
Steven J. Duranceau, Rebecca J. Wilder, Susaye S. Douglas
As part of a Water Research Foundation project called Post‐Treatment
Stabilization of Desalinated Water, current posttreatment issues related to
desalination were explored in an effort to provide guidance to the water
industry. Although literature on posttreatment exists, there are fundamental
knowledge gaps on accepted water quality goals for posttreated finished water
related to location, source... hiện toàn bộ
An evaluation of the calcium carbonate saturation indexesJournal - American Water Works Association - Tập 75 Số 2 - Trang 95-100 - 1983
John R. Rossum, Douglas T. Merrill
Formulas for calculating six saturation indexes are derived. The indexes are
expressed in terms of commonly measured characteristics of water quality. They
are evaluated for their ability to determine whether a water is undersaturated,
saturated, or oversaturated with respect to calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and to
predict the water's capacity for CaCO3 deposition or dissolution. Important
concepts th... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of Buffer Capacity, Chlorine Residual, and Flow Rate on Corrosion of Mild Steel and CopperJournal - American Water Works Association - Tập 79 Số 2 - Trang 62-70 - 1987
A. Pisigan Rodolfo, J. Edward Singley
The corrosion rates of mild steel decreased as buffer capacity was increased
with pH at constant alkalinity. The corrosion‐promoting effect of ionic
strength, however, appeared to predominate over the buffer action in water
systems with relatively high total dissolved solids and chloride levels. The
enhanced corrosion of mild steel and copper due to a free chlorine residual was
related to the stro... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of NF on distribution system biostabilityJournal - American Water Works Association - Tập 91 Số 6 - Trang 76-89 - 1999
Isabel C. Escobar, Andrew A. Randall
In a 12‐month study, nanofiltration achieved high percentages of BDOC removal
but was less effective in reducing AOC concentrations.When biodegradable organic
matter is not removed during water treatment, bacteria may proliferate in the
distribution system. This bacterial growth can deteriorate water quality,
accelerate pipe corrosion, and potentially increase the incidence of
bacteriological dise... hiện toàn bộ
Determining the concentration of easily assimilable organic carbon in drinking waterJournal - American Water Works Association - Tập 74 Số 10 - Trang 540-545 - 1982
D. van der Kooij, Ate Visser, W.A.M. Hijnen
This paper describes a method for determining the potential of a water for
supporting microbial regrowth in a drinking water distribution system. The
method is based on the growth of fluorescent pseudomonads as a function of the
concentration of easily assimilable organic carbon (AOC) in water. Using this
method, the authors analyzed water samples from various stages of water
treatment and water i... hiện toàn bộ
Assimilable Organic Carbon as an Indicator of Bacterial RegrowthJournal - American Water Works Association - Tập 84 Số 2 - Trang 57-65 - 1992
D. van der Kooij
The relationship between the level of regrowth of heterotrophic bacteria and the
level of easily assimilable organic carbon (AOC) was determined by collecting
and examining a series of distribution water samples from 20 supplies during two
summer and autumn periods. The AOC concentration of distribution system water
decreased with increasing distance from the treatment plant, but AOC uptake was

How particles affect UV light in the UV Disinfection of Unfiltered Drinking WaterJournal - American Water Works Association - Tập 95 Số 4 - Trang 179-189 - 2003
Jason Christensen, Karl G. Linden
This study assessed the impact of suspended particles on both ultraviolet (UV)
dose transmission and spectrophotometric absorbance measurement for unfiltered
raw water with turbidity up to 10 ntu. Results from bench‐scale collimated beam
experiments indicated that a low percentage of total incident UV light was
attenuated by particles at 5 ntu turbidity. However, at a set applied UV dose,
when par... hiện toàn bộ
Iron oxide–coated fibrous sorbents for arsenic removalJournal - American Water Works Association - Tập 100 Số 4 - Trang 151 - 2008
Arun Kumar, Patrick L. Gurian, Robin H. Bucciarelli‐Tieger, Jade Mitchell‐Blackwood
Iron oxide‐coated sand has been demonstrated to be an effective adsorbent
material for the removal of arsenic and other metals and metalloids from
drinking water and wastewater. In this study, fibrous materials were evaluated
for their ability to offer a high specific surface area alternative to sand as
the substrate for the iron oxide coating. Four types of fibrous materials,
polypropylene, polye... hiện toàn bộ
Carbon Regeneration: Dependence on Time and TemperatureJournal - American Water Works Association - Tập 84 Số 3 - Trang 82-91 - 1992
Mark A. Waer, Vernon L. Snoeyink, Kathryn L. Mallon
The time and temperature of regeneration were examined in a bench‐scale study
using granular activated carbon (GAC) that had been loaded in a treatment plant
and a laboratory. Tire rate of regeneration was constant at a given temperature
for time periods up to 30 min and increased exponentially with increasing
temperature. The reactivity of the base carbon was important in determining the
proper t... hiện toàn bộ
The Logistic Curve as a Model for Carbon Bed DesignJournal - American Water Works Association - Tập 72 Số 1 - Trang 50-53 - 1980
Charles S. Oulman
The technique for determining design parameters for activated carbon columns
described here can be used for scaling up the design of a carbon column from
laboratory and pilot scale to full scale.
