Treatment Options for HABs Impacted Waters and Assessing Cell Condition and Toxin Concentrations Through Treatment
Citation:
Dugan, N. Treatment Options for HABs Impacted Waters and Assessing Cell Condition and Toxin Concentrations Through Treatment. EPA Small Systems Webinar Series, Cincinnati, OH, May 21, 2019.
Impact/Purpose:
These slides are intended for presentation as part of the EPA/ORD Small Systems Webinar series. This webinar series is designed to transfer up-to-date technical knowledge on topics of interest and regulatory importance to the drinking water treatment industry. The target audience includes drinking water treatment personnel, practicing engineers, state primacy personnel, EPA regional personnel, and technical and policy personnel at other federal agencies.
Description:
These slides provide information on the following topics: (1) Removal of cyanobacterial cells through conventional drinking water treatment (coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration), (2) Removal of cyanobacterial toxins by powdered activated carbon (PAC), (3) Removal of cyanobacterial toxins by drinking water treatment oxidants, (4) The impact of copper sulfate algicide on cyanobacteria and the response of exposed cyanobacteria when exposed to potassium permanganate, (5) The correlation between ELISA and liquid chromatographic methods for quantifying microcystins, (6) The correlation between the concentration of membrane compromised cyanobacteria and the ratio of extracellular/total microcystins
