Biologically Active Filtration Media Properties: Practical and Mechanistic Implications
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-16)Biologically active filtration [BAF] can be used to concurrently remove particles and natural organic matter during drinking water treatment. The selection of a given media type for use in BAF can impact filter performance, ... -
Impact of Design and Operational Parameters on Rapid, Deep Bed Biological Filtration of Drinking Water
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-21)A series of pilot and full-scale experiments were carried out at the Mannheim Water Treatment Plant in Kitchener, Ontario to examine the impact of backwash technique, filter media characteristics, and combinations thereof ... -
An Investigation of Nitrification Predictors and Factors in Two Full-Scale Drinking Water Distribution Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-10)The biologically-mediated process of nitrification can occur in chloraminated drinking water distribution systems. In this process, ammonia is oxidized to nitrite by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA). In ... -
Performance of Large Diameter Residential Drinking Water Wells - Biofilm Growth: Laboratory and Field Testing
(University of Waterloo, 2011-11-23)In the first phase of this project three enhanced large diameter (> 60 cm) residential wells were constructed at a study site in Lindsay, Ontario. Two wells were constructed using concrete tile casing while the other well ... -
Wildfire and Forest Harvesting Effects on Natural Organic Matter: Implications to Drinking Water Treatability
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-19)Forested catchments are critical for water supply globally and provide ~60% of the water supplies for the world’s 100 largest cities and 2/3 of all water supplies, including drinking water for ~180 million people in the ...
