Citation:
Dugan, N. Removal of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins through drinking water treatment-full-scale studies? Presented at 2015 Small Systems Webinar Series, Cincinnati, OH, May 26, 2015.
Impact/Purpose:
To share research results as part of EPA's small systems webinar series
Description:
This presentation covers the control of intact cyanobacterial cells through particulate removal processes such as coagulation, sedimentation and filtration. The control of cyanobacterial toxins through oxidation and adsorption processes including, but not limited to, chlorine, ozone, and granular activated carbon is also discussed. Finally, a case study based on data collected from multipletreatment facilities during EPA’s Office of Research and Development Lake Erie treatment plant sampling program is presented. The study includes the examination of chlorophyll and toxin data to track the propagation of cells and their associated toxins through several treatment plants.
