Assessment of Ozonation and Biofiltration as a Membrane Pre-treatment at a Full-scale Drinking Water Treatment Plant
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-16)Membrane technologies are gaining popularity for drinking water treatment; however, fouling remains a major constraint as it can increase operational cost and shorten membrane service life. An important source of foulants ... -
Investigating the Enhancement of Biological Filtration with Capping Material Designs and Nutrient Amendments
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-30)Biologically active filters, or biological filters, remove particles and harness the metabolic capacity of bacteria attached to filtration media, in the form of a biofilm, to metabolize biodegradable organic matter (BOM). ... -
Removal of MS2 Bacteriophage, Cryptosporidium, Giardia and Turbidity by Pilot-Scale Multistage Slow Sand Filtration
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-16)This research aimed to address the knowledge gaps in the literature regarding the removal of waterborne pathogens (viruses and protozoa) by modified multistage slow sand filtration. In the current study, two pilot-scale ...
