PFAS Water Treatment Modelling
Designing of Anion Ion Exchange Treatment for PFAS removal
Designing of Anion Ion Exchange Treatment for PFAS removal
This PFAS course is an advanced-level course on the design of PFAS Drinking Water Treatment. GAC and ion-exchange processes will be covered using freely available models.

Designing of Anion Ion Exchange Treatment for PFAS removal
Anion exchange is a relatively new drinking water treatment process gaining importance due to its effectiveness and reliability in PFAS DWT processes. Although it is very effective in a short contact time, it can significantly change the chlorination process and deteriorate the distribution water quality in terms of pH, alkalinity, and corrosion capability.
Designing Ozone in Drinking Water Treatment
Designing of Anion Ion Exchange Treatment for PFAS removal
Designing Ozone in Drinking Water Treatment
Ozone is a strong disinfectant ( e.g. Cryptosporidium) and oxidant (e.g. taste and odour-causing compounds). Ozone improves the taste of the treated water. This course covers most of the process design aspects of an Ozone System.
