AWWA WQTC69229

The taste and odor compounds (T&O) 2-methyl isoborneol (MIB) and geosmin are of concernto water authorities world-wide. Through an AWWARF research study grant, a pilot unitbased on the coupling of membranes and powdered activated carbon (PAC) was set up in the drinking water treatmentplant of T.W. Moses in Indianapolis, Indiana. This plant presents the most problematic issuesrelated to taste and odor, since the exclusive resource of this plant has encountered regularalgal blooms during recent years. On one hand, physical-chemical parameters (MIB andGeosmin quantifications, TOC/DOC, turbidity) enabled us to characterize the taste andodor removal; and, on the other hand, a continuous data acquisition was set up to get hydraulicparameters. Two main periods of pilot experiments were carried out in a row from July toNovember 2007. Includes 6 references, tables, figures.
