Cryptosporidium and Particle Removal from Low Turbidity Water by Engineered Ceramic Media Filtration
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-29)A series of pilot-scale granular media filtration experiments was conducted to examine the effect of media roughness on filter performance and to evaluate the applicability of spherical, rough engineered ceramic filter ... -
Development of Advanced Characterization Techniques for Organic and Colloidal Material of Relevance to Ultrafiltration Membranes in Drinking Water Treatment
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-15)Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes, which can effectively remove colloidal/particulate matter (C/P), macromolecules, and pathogenic microorganisms, have gained increasing acceptance in the drinking water industry. However, ... -
Development of Fluorescence-based Tools for Characterization of Natural Organic Matter and Development of Membrane Fouling Monitoring Strategies for Drinking Water Treatment Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-14)The objective of this research was to develop fluorescence-based tools that are suitable for performing rapid, accurate and direct characterization of natural organic matter (NOM) and colloidal/particulate substances present ... -
Removal of Enteric Viruses By Ultrafiltration Membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-29)Application of low pressure membranes in drinking water treatment, including both microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF), have witnessed a rapid increase in the past decades. Low pressure membranes are considered a ... -
Removal of Perfluorinated Compounds in Drinking Water Treatment: A Study of Ion Exchange Resins and Magnetic Nanoparticles
(University of Waterloo, 2017-11-21)Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are emerging contaminants which have been detected in various environmental compartments, including drinking water sources. Because of their potential risks to human health, PFCs in drinking ... -
Selecting Sustainable Point-of-Use and Point-of-Entry Drinking Water Treatment: A Decision Support System
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-10)Point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE) water treatment are forms of decentralized water treatment that are becoming increasingly sought alternatives for ensuring the safety of drinking water. Although the acceptance ...
