Effect of Filtration Conditions On Removal of Emerging waterborne pathogens 2003-12-01 .txt text/plain 5709 424 60 This study evaluated removal of live emerging waterborne pathogens by pilotā€scale conventional treatment with alum coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration. The objective of this research was to evaluate the removal of several emerging waterborne pathogens by using pilot-scale conventional treatment with alum coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration. Six pilot-scale challenge experiments were performed to investigate the effects of various filtration conditions on the removal of live waterborne pathogens by alum coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and rapid-rate granular media filtration. Nevertheless, the pathogen characteristics listed in Table 1 play a role in determining the physical and chemical characteristics of the floc parAlthough many studies have focused on the effects of particle size on particle removal in clean bed filters, little research has been conducted to determine the breakthrough rates of different-sized particles. The other tests indicated that settled water pumping had no effect on turbidity removal through filtration provided that the sedimentation basin was cleaned out one day prior to a challenge experiment. ./cache/cord-344208-5mbn6b9x.txt ./txt/cord-344208-5mbn6b9x.txt
