Since the promulgation of more stringent standards for arsenic in drinking water, many
water purveyors are considering options for meeting these standards within the
configuration of their existing systems. Part of the solution for many systems will include
removal of arsenic through a wellhead water treatment plant. Coagulation/microfiltration
(C/MF) has been shown in bench-scale testing, pilot testing, and full-scale systems to be an
effective technology for removal of arsenic and meeting the arsenic standards. This
presentation describes the application of C/MF technology for arsenic removal for the
Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe Arsenic Removal Water Treatment Plant. This project is being
implemented by the Indian Health Service in Fallon, Nevada. It is a 0.5-million gallon per
day wellhead water treatment plant being integrated into an existing water distribution
system. The presentation includes the following topics: general project description; plant
process description; major process equipment specifics; and initial operating data and
system performance. Includes table, figures.
