SCHOCK, M. R. AND T. F. SPETH. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND WATER QUALITY IMPACTS OF PERCHLORATE REMOVAL TECHNOLOGIES. Presented at NEW ENGLAND WATER WORKS ASSOCIATION SPRING OPERATIONS CONFERENCE, WORCESTER, MA, March 28 - 29, 2007.
Description:
This paper will discuss the characteristics of perchlorate and the resulting treatment processes that hold promise for current or near-term use: ion exchange, anaerobic biological treatment, reverse osmosis, and tailored adsorbents. These treatment technologies are capable of causing significant water chemistry changes that could disrupt the surface and scale chemistry of distribution system materials. This paper will present the implications of the use of these perchlorate removal technologies relative to distribution system stability.
