Impact of UV Location and Sequence on By-Product Formation

Abstract

This project studied the impact of UV treatment and its sequence with chlorine and chloramines on the formation of regulated and non-regulated by-products. The project also examined both low and medium pressure UV in combination with a number of chlorination/chloramination strategies. Research partner: EPA. Published in 2012.
