Metals Removal Technologies for Stormwater: Filtration
This study, sponsored by the Water Environment Research Foundation, focused on innovative methods for the capture of metals from stormwater. The two areas of focus were media filters and swales. This paper will focus on the filter studies. Twelve media were chosen for initial evaluation. Equilibrium and kinetic studies were formed on these media to assess their performance in capturing metals f...
متن کاملFiltration for Metals Removal from Stormwater
Filtration as a method of stormwater treatment was investigated in a 3-year study. Equilibrium and kinetic studies of metals’ capture were performed initially on twelve media. The three best performing media: peat-sand mix, compost, and zeolite were then selected for in-depth study. Upflow filters did not clog as easily as downflow, and longer-term performance was better in the upflow column. M...
متن کاملField Evaluation of Indicator Bacteria Removal by Stormwater BMPs in North Carolina
In the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s National Water Quality Inventory in 2000, 13% of the river and stream miles that were surveyed were impaired by pathogen indicator bacteria (USEPA 2002). Stormwater runoff is a transport mechanism for indicator bacteria to receiving waters, resulting in an increased risk to public health through consumption of contaminated shellfish or inge...
متن کاملFungi Occurrence Assessment in Drinking Water Distribution Systems and Its Relationship with Fecal Indicator Bacteria
Introduction: As recommended by World Health Organization, consumption of the fungal contaminated water does not cause to serious infection, but may lead to healthy or aesthetic problems. The aim of this research was to assess the occurrence of fungi in water and its relationship with fecal indicator bacteria. Materials and Methods: 110 water samples were collected from different location of w...
متن کاملLevels and patterns of fecal indicator bacteria in stormwater runoff from homogenous land use sites and urban watersheds.
Routine stormwater monitoring programs focus on quantification of average fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) concentration at the terminal watershed discharge point. While important for permit compliance, such monitoring provides little insight into relative bacteria levels from different land use types or the mechanisms that influence FIB concentrations. The goal of this study was to quantify the ...
