• A recurring issue for municipalities
• The severity, frequency & geographical distribution are increasing
• Increases are driven by human activities and climate change
• Difficult to determine extent and costs of algal blooms on a national scale

While working on WRF 4692: Release of intracellular cyanotoxins during oxidation
of naturally occurring & lab cultured cyanobacteria
Realized the need to: Collect & transfer the scattered (and mostly contradictory)
knowledge globally
Impact of morphology? Pre-oxidation?
Source monitoring & oxidation: Hard to select?

PAC experience
• Clumping in Supersacs, silo slurry flow
• 24 bag changes per day
• 50% more coagulant needed filter runs < 12 hrs
• 2X treatment cost ($4.50/ML $10/ML)
• 5X more solids in residue management (upflow clarifier)
…but it worked
![Page 36: Insights for the water sectorcwn-rce.ca/.../Managing-the-Impacts-of...Water-Treatment-Plants-Slid… · Insights for the water sector helping decision-makers move forward Canadian](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042209/5ead269c2940144fea7fc078/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
PAC experience at Union Water Supply System
• 1.5 mg/L PAC year round • Helps to add mass to
upflow clarifier• Up to 4 mg/L during
T&O
• Delivered 3 times/yr, stored in outdoor slurry
• Added to flow with peristaltic pumps

Granular activated carbon (GAC)
• Often a layer above sand in a conventional filter (retrofit for anthracite)
• Typically 8-12 min empty bed contact time
• Gets saturated even in absenceof T&O events due to background organic matter
• When to replace?

Does GAC/PAC remove cyanotoxins?
• Yes, but…
• performance mostly assessed during research and not during normal operations
• most data for microcystin: little for other cyanotoxins(anatoxin-a, cylindrospermopsin, etc.)

Ozone
• Effective against cyanotoxins
• Often used for concurrent T&O control and Cryptosporidium control

• Assumed design ozone doses around 4-8 mg/L
• Since then: doses typically around 2-4 mg/L work well(IOA Municipal Committee)

Bottom line
Many different ways to treat HAB byproducts
(Ozone, PAC, GAC, AOP, permanganate, chlorine, etc.)
Best solution includes site-specific considerations/testing

UV Advanced Oxidation Process
(UV AOP)
Using UV and hydrogen peroxide to destroy trace organic contaminants in
water by:
UV-Photolysis
UV-Oxidation

UV-Oxidation Reaction
Mechanisms
• UV light is absorbed by hydrogen peroxide:
• Degradation rate depends on:
− Lamp type
− Absorption of water background (UVT)
− Hydroxyl radical (●OH) rate constant kOH,C
− H2O2 concentration
− Hydroxyl radical scavenging demand

Quenching
• H2O2 is not a highly efficient absorber
of UV-light
• Most H2O2 dosed into a UV-AOP
system is not converted to radicals
• Quenching residual H2O2 typically
needed for most municipal facilities
Free Chlorine Activated Carbon
Advantages•Less expensive •Maintain secondary residual
•Simple and efficient•Low EBCT and infrequent replacement (catalysis)
Disadvantages •Challenging to manage dose •More costly

CASE STUDY
Lorne Park WTP, Peel Region
• Flow rate = 103 MGD
• Algal blooms in late summer/early
autumn
• Designed for 0.7 log reduction of
geosmin
• System provides disinfection in addition
to UV AOP (Cryptosporidium barrier)
• Both UV-oxidation and ozone
technologies were evaluated
• UV-oxidation was ultimately selected
due to its:
−Smaller footprint
−Safety (no liquid oxygen required on site)
−Simplicity

• Algal blooms in late summer/early fall
• Previously used Powder Activated
Carbon for T&O
• Designed for 1.3-log geosmin and 1.0-

Benefits Summary
• Small physical footprint
• Less expensive than ozone
• Provides superior third-party validated disinfection
• Always ready: can’t be exhausted or degraded (as GAC can be)
• Flexible: if no T&O event, O&M costs are ~1 cent/1,000 gallons
• Can be retrofitted into existing plants
• No bromate formation
• Also capable of removing algal toxins in addition to T&O
