Full Description

Aluminum, as well as turbidity and organic precursors of disinfection byproducts (DBPs), weremonitored along the treatment trains of three municipal systems. This monitoring was used tounderstand the effectiveness of the processes at the different treatment stages, as well as seasonalvariations giving rise to high aluminum residual levels. Solutions were explored to maintainresidual aluminum at minimum levels for all seasons. Includes 15 references, tables, figures.
