A Comparative Experimental Study on Natural Organic Matter Degradation by Electrochemical Oxidation on Boron Doped Diamond and Mixed Metal Oxide Electrodes
(University of Waterloo, 2020-10-26)Natural organic matter (NOM) pollutants have complexified water treatment facilities and their direct methods for water disinfection. Furthermore, untreated NOM in water networks can lead to property damage in water plumbing ... -
Evaluation and improvement of robustness in drinking water treatment systems to manage turbidity- and natural organic matter (NOM)-related water quality upsets during extreme weather events
(University of Waterloo, 2024-05-17)Climate change poses significant challenges for drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs), with extreme weather events increasingly impacting water quality. While various aspects of climate adaptation, such as source water ... -
Natural Organic Matter Characterization of Different Source and Treated Waters; Implications for Membrane Fouling Control
(University of Waterloo, 2012-10-22)The objective of drinking water treatment is to provide water which is free of pathogens, is chemically and biologically stable, and is of good aesthetic quality. Natural organic matter (NOM) is present in all natural ... -
Performance of Biological Filters for Drinking Water Treatment and Their Use for High Pressure Membrane Biofouling Control
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-18)Biofiltration is a promising green drinking water treatment technology that can reduce the concentration of biodegradable organic matter (BOM) in water. Direct biofiltration or biofiltration without pretreatment (BFwp) ...
