Pilot Scale Investigation Of Dissolved Air Flotation Performance For Drinking Water Treatment: An Evalutation Of Process Parameters, Paul D. Schmidt May 1994

Pilot Scale Investigation Of Dissolved Air Flotation Performance For Drinking Water Treatment: An Evalutation Of Process Parameters, Paul D. Schmidt

Environmental & Water Resources Engineering Masters Projects

The West River Treatment Plant (WRTP) is a 10.2 million gallon per day inline direct filtration plant. Pilot scale studies have been performed at the WRTP since 1989 to evaluate treatment alternatives to meet changing regulations and to explore a possible plant expansion. Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) was evaluated during 1992 in a pilot train consisting of ozonation (either pre- or intermediate-), two stage flocculation, flotation, and filtration. The DAF train was studied as a method of plant expansion whereby solids removal by DAF would allow for increased hydraulic loading rates to the filters. The effects of several DAF train …

The Effects Of Ozone And Peroxide On In-Line Filtration: Filter Performance And Manganese Removal, Nagaraju K. Vinod

Environmental & Water Resources Engineering Masters Projects

The University of Massachusetts, Amherst and the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority have been conducting pilot studies at the West River Treatment Plant CWRTP) since 1989 to investigate the use of ozone and peroxone in in-line fIltration. Many studies in the past, both pilot and full-scale, have shown improved perfonnance on inclusion of pre-ozonation in to the treatment scheme. Peroxone has been found to be more effective than ozone in oxidizing taste and odor compounds. This study investigated the effects of the use of ozone and peroxone on fIlter perfonnance, and particle and manganese removals. Pilot run experiments were …
