Comparison of Chlorine and Chloramines on Lead Release from Copper Pipe Rigs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this study was to assess lead release in a pipe rig system that was disinfected with either chloramines or free chlorine. The study was carried out using pipe loops and copper pipe rigs that had lead solder, ...
Direct Biofiltration for Manganese Removal from Surface Water
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Research has shown biological filtration to be a successful treatment for the removal of manganese (Mn) from groundwater and surface water. In this study, bench-scale direct biofiltration was used to remove Mn and dissolved ...
Fountain Autopsy to Determine Lead Occurrence in Drinking Water
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Exposure to lead in drinking water poses a risk for various adverse health effects, and significant efforts have been made to monitor and eliminate lead exposure in drinking water. This study focused on the localization ...
Hydraulic Calibration and Fluence Determination of Model Ultraviolet Disinfection System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this project was to determine the impact hydraulic dispersion has on the calibration of a flow-though model ultraviolet (UV)-disinfection system with chemical actinometry (potassium ferrioxalate) and MS 2 ...
Impact of Zinc Orthophosphate on Simulated Drinking Water Biofilms Influenced by Lead and Copper
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Phosphate, a key nutrient for bacterial growth, is also a key component of many corrosion-control programs to manage lead and copper corrosion in premise plumbing. Bench-scale stagnant water galvanic macrocells with lead ...
