1. Removal Of Chloramines With Activated Carbon 12/30/2013

   In order to reduce the formation of harmful disinfection byproducts in drinking water, alternative disinfectant use has become increasingly widespread. Monochloramine is a leading alternative disinfectant that offers advantages for municipal water. This tech brief details the removal of monochloramine using activated carbon.

2. Biofouling Control In Cooling Towers With A Halogen Stabilizer 10/22/2020

   Biofouling in cooling towers is undesirable because it can reduce heat transfer efficiency, restrict water flow, and accelerate corrosion rates. Of even greater concern is the fact that pathogen growth in cooling towers can lead to disease transmission. Given the favorable growth environment of a cooling tower, these microorganisms can reproduce, proliferate and form complex biofilm communities. Legionella bacteria, which cause Legionnaires’ disease, are one of the greatest concerns from a public health standpoint because infections are often lethal and cooling towers are the most frequently reported non-potable water source of Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks (Llewellyn 2017).

3. Solution For Algae Blooms 12/17/2015

   Harmsco® Filtration Products is pleased to offer a solution to the ever increasing blue-algae blooms in water sources. A multi-barrier approach is necessary to physically remove intact (algae and cyanobacteria) before they rupture in the treatment process and then remove extracellular cyanobacteria through adsorption.

4. Innovative Solutions To Drinking Water Decontamination In Small And Medium Treatment Plants 9/21/2017

   Air stripping technology effectively removes VOCs, THMs, and CO2 for improved adherence to water quality regulations.

5. The Role Of Zeta Potential In Water Treatment Process Control 5/27/2020

   Physical processes such as sedimentation, flotation and filtration remain at the heart of most process trains for the treatment of water and wastewater flows.

6. LC-MS Analysis Of PFAS Compounds In EPA Methods 537.1, 533 And 8327 11/4/2021

   The Ascentis Express PFAS HPLC column is designed for the separation of novel and legacy PFAS as per recent EPA methods. A specific PFAS delay column prevents background PFAS contamination from interfering with sample results in quantitative LC-MS methods.

7. Drinking Water Testing By Ion Chromatography Using Ultrapure Water 9/29/2022

   This application note demonstrates the suitability of ultrapure water produced by a Milli-Q IQ  7000 water purification system for the IC analyses of inorganic ions and DBPs in drinking water.

8. How Activated Carbon Works To Purify Air And Water 10/31/2019

   The first step is to define the performance limiting factors in the application. For this application, most of the adsorber is used for MTBE adsorption in the ppb concentration range. Adsorption of BTEX, TBA, or humic acids or other total organic carbon (TOC) components are removed by the front end of the column.

9. Application Note: Ozone Measurement In Potable Water 3/1/2010

   Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent that can be used to destroy the organic compounds that affect the taste and odor of potable water. Environmental concerns have led to increased use of ozone because, unlike chlorine, it does not form hazardous by-products.

10. What Is Genclean Advanced Oxidation Disinfection Solution And What Is It Used For? 2/18/2021

    A non-toxic, advanced oxidation (AOP) formula of minerals chelated with oxygen and stabilized in an aqueous water solution. It is a viable option in industries and applications requiring a solution to challenging situations where high level effective sanitization and oxidation is required. Read more to learn how the Genclean advanced oxidation treatment solutions can be used in different applications.
