Ozonation

Recently, the appearance of assimilable organic carbon (AOC) in the water treatment system and effluent of the treatment plant has brought more attention to the environmental engineers. In this study, AOC removal efficiency at the Cheng-Ching Lake water treatment plant (CCLWTP) was evaluated. The ma

This study is aimed using ozonation to remove the fouling that occurs on ultrafiltration membranes. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was utilized for the membrane material. The tertiary effluent from industrial park wastewater plant was treated by an ultrafiltration membrane process. A bench-scale sys

Membrane fouling has been identified as one of the major problems during the treatment by ultrafiltration (UF) of the cork processing wastewaters. This problem leads to the drastic reduction of the UF permeate fluxes and is often attributed to the fact that these wastewaters are rich in phenolic/tan

Disinfection is a key treatment process for producing drinking water. However, it produces undesirable byproducts that may cause adverse health effects. Disinfection by-products (DBP) such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are considered potentially carcinogenic and have been rec

Unplanned transportation systems near water resources have not only caused a dramatic population increase in the water catchment areas of Istanbul but also created major water pollution problems as a result of illegal settlement and industrial and agricultural activities. In this study, water qualit

A hybrid process, consisting of ozonation and membrane filtration, followed by activated carbon filtration, was studied in pilot scale for drinking water production from river water. The main focus of this study centred on tests to determine the effect of ozone on the filtration and fouling behaviou
