To inform the public.
Description:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) program evaluates the performance of innovative air, water, pollution prevention and monitoring technologies that have the potential to improve human health and the environment. This technology brief, "Nanofiltration for Removal of Drinking Water Disinfection By-Product Precursors", contains a brief summary of the information obtained from the ETV Case Studies: Demonstrating Program Outcomes, Volume II (http://www.epa.gov/etv/pdfs/publications/600r06082pv.pdf) and the verification reports/statements. The technology brief contains a short description of the test technology, test description and results used for verifying the PCI Membrane Systems, Inc., Fyne Process Model ROP 1434 with AFC-30 nanofiltration membranes. This nanofiltration system is designed to remove microbial contaminants in drinking water and reduce organic content that can act as a precursor in the formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs). The technical brief also contains a brief summary on the potential outcomes that could be attributed to the verified technologies.
