Optimizing Biofiltration for Improved Manganese Control under Cold-Water Conditions

Webcast

Industry focus on Manganese (Mn) is increasing due to recent research on health impacts and accumulation in distribution systems. However, utilities that utilize or are considering biofiltration as a sustainable treatment practice for removing an array of contaminants may find Mn removal more challenging compared to using chlorinated filters. This webcast summarized the conclusions from the recently published WRF project report, Optimizing Biofiltration for Improved Manganese Control under Cold-Water Conditions (4749), which provides utilities with practical strategies for improving year-round Mn removal across surface water biofilters.
