Full Description

Pilot-scale biofiltration experiments were conducted to determine how empty bed contact time (EBCT) and hydraulic loading rate (HLR) affected the removal of biodegradable organic matter (BOM). The removal of BOM formed during ozonation was measured as the reduction (resulting from biodegradation) of dissolved organic carbon in the filter; it was referred to as biodegradable dissolved organic carbon-filter (BDOCfilter). Ten ozone by-products were measured to understand the composition of BDOCfilter and to assess whether these by-products might be used as a surrogate for BOM; none sufficed. Further results are discussed. Includes 21 references, figures.
