An Evaluation of the Impacts to Membrane Filtration under the Influence of TOC, MIB, and Geosmin

The paper and presentation is of interest to utilities that are challenged by total organic carbon (TOC), Geosmin, and MIB in their source water and are considering the use of membrane filtration to meet disinfection by-product (DBP) maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) and address taste and odor (T&O). Current operations are compared from plant to plant, as well as to the piloting results.
