Filter Operation Effects on Pathogen Passage

Abstract

Evaluates the effects of operational factors (e.g., headloss, turbidity, plant-flow changes, particle counts, and charge) on the passage of pathogens through filters during filter ripening periods, filter-run turbidity and particle spikes, and filter breakthrough events. In addition, investigates the impact of sudden changes in source water quality on the breakthrough of pathogens. Research partner: M/DBP Council. Published in 2001.
