Project Title:
Study of Conventional Drinking Water Treatment Practice Possibilities for the Washington Aqueduct Treatment Works
Sponsoring Office:
Office of Drinking Water and Source Water Protection, Water Protection Division
Project Overview:
The project involves performing literature research, desktop analysis, and bench-scale testing and laboratory analysis to study conventional drinking water treatment processes. Treatment studies will be identified at the start of the project based on the greatest need and may include the following: (1) evaluate the impact of alternative coagulants on organic removal, residuals generation, or distribution system water quality; (2) evaluate the impact of the use of hypochlorite for disinfection, versus chlorine, on distribution system water quality and other regulated parameters; and (3) evaluate the effectiveness of alternative conventional treatment processes on Endocrine Disruption Compounds.
Project Goals:
The student will learn about drinking water treatment options in relation to current and emerging issues.
Final Product of the Project:
The final product is a report submitted to EPA, including a summary of literature research, desktop analysis, and bench-scale testing and laboratory analysis.
Project Location:
EPA Region 3, Washington, DC
