Download or read book Cost Estimates for Removal of Total Organic Carbon and Disinfection By products Using Packed Tower Aeration and Granular Activated Carbon Adsorption written by James Helfrich and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study provides cost estimates of construction and operation for granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption of total organic carbon (TOC), and packed tower aeration (PTA) for air stripping of trihalomethanes (THMs). Costs were developed by employing software published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) through its Drinking Water Research Division (DWRD). Cost estimation for both methods required preliminary GAC and PTA designs based on data collected in the field and from earlier published sources, as well as modifications to the software used in this study. The resultant designs were focused on compliance with certain aspects of the Stage 2 Disinfection By-Product Rule (Stage 2 DBPR) for THM and haloacetic acid (HAA) concentrations in drinking water. Formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) occurs when natural organic matter (NOM) found in water sources reacts with disinfectants, typically chlorine based, that are used for the inactivation of water-borne pathogens. DBPs included several groups of compounds that, when ingested, are known to be carcinogenic and have been linked to other serious health effects. Two principle locations were used in this study to represent a medium system (serving 10,000 to 99,999 people) and a large system (serving 100,000 or more people). Overall system cost estimates for GAC adsorption were between 24 and 41 cents per 1000 gallons with an apparent economy of scale existing for larger systems. Investigations into GAC reactivation suggest that off-site reactivation is more cost effective for small to medium systems while some type of on-site reactivation would be a more cost effective method for larger systems. Overall PTA system cost estimates were between 8 and 9.6 cents per 1000 gallons. Both methods are effective at THM control while GAC adsorption has the added ability to reduce non-volatile DBPs and naturally occurring material (NOM), as well as reducing taste and odor problems if present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many books have been written about granular activated carbon. Some focus on the theory of performance and removal mechanisms while others focus on design features. This book focuses on solutions. It describes the challenges facing water providers to provide safe water that is acceptable to their customers, utility experiences using activated carbon, activated carbon applications, and design and procurement approaches. The appendices include detailed case studies and a life-cycle assessment demonstrating favorable sustainability considerations for activated carbon when compared to other treatment technologies. Never before has all of this information been together in one location. The what, why, and how of activated carbon are connected in this book and demonstrate why this treatment technology has maintained its status as an integral treatment technology in the quest for pure water over millennia"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative reference volume emphasizes the importance and interrelationships of geological processes to the health and diseases of humans and animals. Its accessible format fosters better communication between the health and geoscience communities by elucidating the geologic origins and flow of toxic elements in the environment that lead to human exposure through the consumption of food and water. For example, problems of excess intake from drinking water have been encountered for several inorganic compounds, including fluoride in Africa and India; arsenic in certain areas of Argentina, Chile, and Taiwan; selenium in seleniferous areas in the U.S., Venezuela, and China; and nitrate in agricultural areas with heavy use of fertilizers. Environmental influences on vector borne diseases and stormflow water quality influences are also featured. Numerous examples of the environmental influences on human health from across the globe are also presented and discussed in this volume. * Covers recent advances and future research topics at the intersection of environmental science and public health * Developed by 60 experts from 20 countries and edited by professionals from the International Working Group on Medical Geology * Includes 200+ color photographs and illustrations * Organizes information in a highly structured format for easy reference * Written for a broad audience, ranging from students, researchers, and medical professionals to policymakers and the general public
