Question
A water treatment plant treating 100,000 gallons/day has discovered that their source water is
contaminated with 1,1,1-Trichloroethane from an industrial spill. The 1,1,1-Trichloroethane
concentration in the source water is 0.30 mg/L (Co). The treatment plant must reduce the
concentration to meet the MCL. Batch experiments with PAC have shown that equilibrium
adsorption is reached in less than two hours. Using the data in Appendix E in MWH, 2012 (or
similar reference), determine the required reactor volume, PAC dose (mg/L) and PAC daily
usage rate (kg/day) for a powdered activated carbon treatment process.
