Development of filtration technologies for effective, cost-efficient and robust water treatment
(2016-08-12)The provision of high quality, potable water in a sustainable and effective manner is a key challenge for water engineers, scientists, and policy makers. Urbanisation and industrial development, along with population ... -
Performance and surface clogging in intermittently loaded and slow sand filters containing novel media
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2016-05-20)Slow sand filers are commonly used in water purification processes. However, with the emergence of new contaminants and concern over removing precursors to disinfection by-products, as well as traditional contaminants, ... -
Performance of novel media in stratified filters to remove organic carbon from lake water
(IWA Publishing, 2016-08-15)Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are an ever-increasing occurrence in water networks, particularly those which abstract water from peatland areas. Although much research has been carried out to discover novel methods to ... -
The potential for the use of waste products from a variety of sectors in water treatment processes.
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2016-07-21)This review examines the utilisation of waste products from three sectors (industry, agriculture, and construction and demolition) in filters for the removal of contaminants from water. Sand is commonly used in drinking ... -
Quantification of biofilm build-up in filters when intermittently loaded with low-strength synthetic wastewater
(2011)Accumulation of particulate matter and microorganisms present in wastewater as biofilm on the surface of filters can lead to clogging of the media. If clogging of filters occurs, they need to be temporarily decommissioned ...
