As part of the Monday, March 1, track "Arsenic Adsorbents," Dow Water & Process Solutions expert, Fred Vance, will discuss how to understand the kinetics of the adsorption process at 8:00 a.m. in the Curtis Hotel. The presentation will discuss in practical terms how selective adsorption can be a cost-effective means of dealing with a specific contaminant, as well as how kinetics are a critical component in efficient treatment system design. This is especially in system designs where the peak and average flows can be substantially different, and where space for a system may be limited.
