Optimization of Vortex Separator Removal Efficiencies for CSO Treatment

Abstract

This study covers preliminary findings and investigates the degree of contaminant removal achievable through the modification of vortex combined sewer overflow (CSO) control devices. This research specifically uses dissolved air flotation, UV disinfection and/or chemical addition. Published by WERF. 208 pages. Soft cover.

Originally funded as WERF project 92-TCR-2.
