Abstract
Investigates Cryptosporidium and Giardia removal efficiencies in a variety of pilot-scale filtration systems. Studies treatment variables such as coagulant type and dose, physical-mixing processes, pH adjustment (ahead of filtration), filter aids, and filter media. Also evaluates operational variables such as filter start-up, filter-loading rates, length of run, backwash type, and backwash frequency. Published in 1996.
