Full Description

The Louisville (Kentucky) Water Company's experience confirms that implementation of effective treatment methods for trihalomethane (THM) control is neither impossible nor overly difficult. Methods for hindering THM growth after its initial formation, such as ammoniation, have been explored and the technology found to be available, as it is for other methods of disinfecting water supplies without forming significant amounts of THMs. Each plant must survey its individual needs for THM control and select the most appropriate and economical technology. The history of chlorination and analytical techniques such as gas chromatography are discussed. Also covered are chloramines, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and chlorine dioxide. Includes tables, figures.
