This powerpoint presentation begins by listing the benefits of Multiple-microorganism
Studies, and the Benefits of Single-site Studies. The Benefits of Multiple
Coagulation Scheme Studies are listed, along with materials and methods that include: Microorganisms and surrogate;
Assays performed;
Experimental conditions;
Operating conditions; and,
Pilot-scale treatment plant details. Conclusions were that: "conventional" coagulation can produce
orders of magnitude greater levels of
removals for microorganisms than "direct
filtration" coagulation;
direct filtration is typically practiced on
pristine source waters, which may not
necessitate extremely high levels of
microorganism removal;
coagulant dose is a very important variable
in determining particle removal in water
treatment; microorganism removals can vary over 5
orders of magnitude depending on the
coagulation conditions;
virus and bacteria appeared to be more
difficult than Cryptosporidium to remove in
the present study; and,
similar studies (multi-organism/multicoagulation
scheme at a single site) could
significantly improve our understanding of
pathogen removal during water treatment. Includes figures.
