Conventional treatment for removing color and organics includes coagulation-flocculation, sedimentation and filtration, stabilization, and disinfection. However, several problems associated with these techniques make biological activated filtration (BAF) an interesting alternative for treating public water supplies. BAF-ozonation, stabilization, adsorption on granular activated carbon, and final disinfection are compared with conventional treatment in terms of preliminary process requirements and capital and operating costs. Includes 2 references, tables, figure.
