Abstract
Control of Trihalomethanes(THMs) is a major concern of many treatment plants. A number of investigators have stuied the effectiveness of carbon adsorption process in removing THM s or organic halogen compounds[l, 2]. And recently attention has been paid to the biological activated carbon(BAC) treatment of THM precursors as an effective alternative with low running c o s t [3]. However, few studies on the engineering basis were conducted so far on the biodegradation of THM precursors and formation of THMs in the BAC treatment. Changes of THM formation potential(THMFP) in the model experimental system were investigated the as the first step to clarify the mechanisms of the decrease/increase of THMFP in the BAC treatment.
