Pilot and lab tests were ran to prove effectiveness of HAOPs for removal of Natural Organic Matter (NOM) from surface waters. HAOP can be used as an adsobent in a precipitation method before MF (microlfiltration) or UF (ultrafiltration) or can be used as a precoat on the membrane itself. varying water quality and operational factors like pH and ion...

This PowerPoint describes research to use microgranular filtration media to isolate fouling from a membrane surface. Captures Natural organic matter ( NOM) and integrates adsorption and granular media filtration in a thin, permeable, back-washable layer. Heated aluminum oxide particles were used for the tests....
