Bench Testing & Feasibility Evaluation at Neshaminy WTP
Removal of up to 90% Geosmin & MIB is desired at maximum plant capacity
Aqua and Carbon Supplier performed jar tests with Geosmin to assess :
– Potential competitive effects of alum on carbon usage –literature contained limited data
– Optimum type of PAC
– Optimum dose and detention time
![Page 7: Aqua PA & Hatch Mott's John Civardi presentation on UV Oxidation Selection for Neshaminy & Shenango WTP IUVA 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081403/556ae84cd8b42a86218b4adb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
IUVA Conference on Moving Forward: Sustainable Solutions to Meet Evolving Regulatory Standards, August 14, 2012
AQUA PENNSYLVANIAAQUA PENNSYLVANIAPAC Testing Results
Dosing PAC together with alum results in significantly lower MIB removal (28% removal Alum/PAC vs 55% PAC then alum)
Testing found that PAC should be added prior to alum
Minimum PAC detention time is 45 minutes
Min./Max. PAC dosage is 30 mg/L ‐ 60 mg/L
![Page 8: Aqua PA & Hatch Mott's John Civardi presentation on UV Oxidation Selection for Neshaminy & Shenango WTP IUVA 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081403/556ae84cd8b42a86218b4adb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
IUVA Conference on Moving Forward: Sustainable Solutions to Meet Evolving Regulatory Standards, August 14, 2012
AQUA PENNSYLVANIAAQUA PENNSYLVANIAPlant Impacts of Testing
45 Minutes of Detention Time at 15 MGD requires at 500,000 gallon pre‐carbon contact tank with mixers
30 mg/L dosage results in an additional 3,800 ppd of Dry Solids
This would double the plant solids production and require additional residuals treatment equipment
Footprint was especially limited at Neshaminy

AOPs gaining in popularity for drinking water applications;
PAC especially wood based provide greater Geosmin removal efficiencies if added PRIOR to coagulant addition;
AOPs can be cost effective:– for T&O especially if a component of the AOP such as O3 is
being used for DBP control;– UV is also being used for disinfection; – when considering costs of solids handling.

The UV/Peroxide System:
– Provides superior T&O removal compared to PAC;
– Provides the operational flexibility to provide additional disinfection capabilities which may be required to adjust to changing raw water quality;
– Generates 50% less solids compared to PAC thereby saving labor & disposal costs; and
– Produces less than 25% CO2 compared to UV/Peroxide
