How to Achieve Enhanced DBP Removal with High-Rate Clarification While Recycling Carbon
In this video, Bob Crossen, Vice President of Content Strategy at EndeavorB2B, and Bryan Fincher, Product Manager for Separation Technologies at Veolia, discuss DBP removal using high-rate clarification and carbon recycling.
Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are a growing challenge for water utilities, especially as infrastructure expands and retention times increase. Bob and Bryan explore how high-rate clarification can help utilities reduce DBP formation by targeting organics early in the treatment process. They also touch on the potential for PFAS treatment, cost-saving efficiencies, and the importance of selecting the right carbon source for optimal results.
