…Oxidation can also be Helpful!• Floc/Sed & Filter Optimization
– The addition of an oxidant can improve particle and turbidity removal

Historical Perspective on Biofilters
• Higher Turbidities
• Short filter runs
• Can’t prechlorinate
• Higher headloss accumulation rate
![Page 12: Pre-Oxidation · 2015. 11. 10. · Pre-Oxidation Improved Particle Removal By Brad Zachman, Pam Benskin and Kevin Linder](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051902/5ff1ca591ee6053adf72e2e9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Case Study
• Binney Water Purification Facility• Aurora Water, Aurora, CO
• Two Treatment Trains– Conventional Train
– Advanced Train
–Biofilters

What We Did
• Started Prechlorination on AR Train 2-2014
• Added upstream of Rapid mix
• Feeding KMnO4
• Dosed to raw water demand to ensure no Chlorine residual leaves the sed basins
• Watched and collected data

What we saw
• Improved Treatment
– Reduced turbidities
– Reduced particle counts
– Lower coagulant dosage
– TTHM’s not impacted
– HAA’s slightly increased
– Reduced chlorine dose at the chlorine contact basin

Next Step
• We initiated prechlorination on the SP train
• Advanced treatment train
– H2O2 being fed as part of AOP
– Fed upstream of clarifier
– No residual leaving the clarifier
![Page 20: Pre-Oxidation · 2015. 11. 10. · Pre-Oxidation Improved Particle Removal By Brad Zachman, Pam Benskin and Kevin Linder](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051902/5ff1ca591ee6053adf72e2e9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hydrogen Peroxide
• Fed as part of Advanced Oxidation Process
– UV + H2O2
– 3-5 mg/l dose
• Try to carry 2 mg/l onto filter
– UFRV regularly > 50,000
– Minimize zooplankton regrowth on top of filter
– Control extracellular polymeric substances (EPS)
– Improve IFE turbidities and particle counts.
