Characterization of Particles in Filter Effluents

This report provides an in-depth analysis of inorganic and organic constituents in influent and effluent streams to granular media filters at a variety of drinking water treatment plants. The analysis characterizes the material composition and size of the particles, with particular attention paid to particles so small as to be invisible to particle sizing and counting instruments commonly used at water treatment plants. The report describes potential threats posed by these submicron-size particles, and the impacts of pretreatment and filter operation on downstream processes, such as membranes.
