As part of a water source development project in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, a
new 26 mgd water treatment plant has recently been constructed. The well water
contains high levels of manganese, 1.0 to 1.2 mg/L, that in the past created
problems such as black water staining and precipitation of manganese dioxide on
the interior of the distribution system pipes. An innovative treatment process
using biological filtration to remove the manganese was tested and selected for
the treatment plant. This paper describes the biological manganese removal
process, reviews the results from the pilot study, summarizes the full-scale
design and presents the initial performance from North America's largest
biological manganese removal plant. Includes 6 references, figures.
