Description:
This design manual is an in-depth presentation of the steps required to design and operate a water treatment plant for removal of excess arsenic from drinking water using the adsorptive media process. The treatment process is very reliable, simple and cost-effective. The adsorptive media process is implemented with operational options which vary with the product selected. For water systems that are primarily concerned with financial feasibility, capital and operating costs, each operational option along with each available adsorptive media product should be evaluated. This design manual presents the information necessary to design and operate treatment systems for any combination of operational options and for any adsorptive media. It also discusses the capital and operating costs including the many variables which can raise or lower costs for identical treatment systems.
