This webinar will present on multiple innovative approaches that address the issues Virginia utilities are currently or could potentially face. The first presentation focuses on the evaluation alternative coagulants with a focus on improving DOC removal performance. The presentation will cover the desktop screening, jar-testing, lab simulated distribution system testing, full-scale testing and finally performance over 5 years of full-scale operation.
The second presentation will discuss how WRF research is helping utilities address current challenges facing the water community, with a focus on water quality. Specific topics to be presented include per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, cyanotoxins and cyanobacterial blooms, emerging disinfection by-products, opportunistic pathogens in distribution systems and premise plumbing, lead and copper corrosion, and other contaminants. Both ongoing and recently completed research will be highlighted.
