Municipal Drinking Water Treatment Hot Topic Hour - October
16
This webinar has been postponed for some weeks. In the
meantime we encourage you to submit information to pbe posted on this free
website
Mcilvaine has
created a free website
Drinking Water Filtration -
Continuous Analysis.
A series of webinars will serve to further populate this website and make it an
important decision making too for municipalities
The tried and true method for purifying drinking water has
been the use of gravity media filters. In the last decade cross flow
membranes have been an alternative selected by municipalities seeking protection
against small micro-organisms. Chemicals and ultraviolet disinfection are
also widely used. The webinar on October 16th will explore each
of these technologies and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
The devil is in the details. With gravity media filters
is air scour, water backwash, or a combination the best way to keep the unit
clean. What are the options regarding underdrains. How do systems
utilizing an intermediate layer of gravel between the treatment media and the
underdrains compare to those which retain the media directly. Should an
on-line particle counter be used to monitor performance?
If cross flow membranes are used, should the medium be
microfiltration or ultrafiltration.
What about the tradeoffs between UV, on site chemical generation, and purchased chemicals. How do chemicals aid the filtration process? We are asking viewers to submit data to populate this site and to review the posted data prior to the webinar. This will insure a high level discussion.
There is no charge for this webinar and anyone can register.
