The purpose of this paper is to present an overview on the current state of regulations regarding CECs with a specific emphasis on PPCPs. A literature review is provided on PPCPs in municipal wastewater and drinking water as well as the removal effectiveness of various treatment techniques. Results from the Town of Jupiter?s? on-going research ef...

The tragic events in Flint Michigan that occurred when lead levels rose well above the allowable concentrations in some homes resulted from corossion control efforts and protocols that did not adequately address changes in water quality when the raw water source and treatment processes changed. All drinking water utilities are best served by adopti...

Chemicals are being discovered in water that previously had not been detected; these are generally referred to as contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) because the risk to human health and the environment, frequency of occurrence and source may not be known. CECs, including pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) have been detected at ...

Reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membrane processes represent superior treatment technologies as they effectively reject unwanted contaminants producing high quality permeate, which is capable of meeting increasingly stringent drinking water regulations. For this reason, municipal drinking water purveyors are integrating membrane techno...

The town of Jupiter operates a unique nanofiltration (NF) plant that includes an innovative system of split-feed pressure vessels configured with center-port concentrate outlets. When the plant was designed, the split-feed concept was considered a promising design innovation to reduce feed pressure. Now, with seven years of successful operation and...
