First-in-U.S. water filtration system

摘要

The Rueter-Hess Water Purification Facility in Parker, Colo., combines three technologies to meet EPA drinking water standards: 1. A coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation chamber uses microsand to enhance sedimentation and reduce surface area requirements. 2. A recirculating powdered activated carbon (PAC) chamber sends used PAC through the system, increasing contact time between PAC particles and dissolved organic compounds.
