AWWA ACE63052

This slide presentation begins with outlining AWWARF Project #2758, "Evaluation of Conventional and Advanced Treatment Processes to Remove EDCs and PhACs", and goes on to outline topics that include: treatment processes; a reverse osmosis (RO) pilot; feed water quality; RO pilot with new membrane and fouled membrane; ultrafiltration/reverse osmosis (UF/RO) pilot; MBR/RO pilot; free chlorine vs. chloramine; and, ozone kinetic summary. An outline of project summary findings includes: UF/MF are of limited removal value, the removal of estrogens may be important; RO removes nearly all compounds, combined processes even more effective; removal of estrogen steroids is easy; and, no treatment process or processes will ever remove all organic compounds to below detection of sensitive analtyical instruments. Includes tables, figures.
