| Abstract | The presence of cyanobacteria within full-scale treatment plants including spent filter backwash water and sludge treatment facilities is an increasing problem faced by water utilities. The fate of cyanobacterial associated taste and odour (T&O) compounds during these processes is unknown. This study aimed to better understand the occurrence of cyanobacteria and T&O compounds, 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin, within a full-scale water treatment additional plant with recycling processes and investigate effectiveness of supplementary treatment processes applied within the plant following results of intensive and real time sampling. Samples were obtained from the source water and at key points within the treatment train, including the sludge thickener where MIB was noted to reach approximately 1500 ng Lā1. Potassium permanganate and powdered activated carbon were dosed into the sludge thickener and the concentration of MIB producing cyanobacterial cells and MIB in the sludge thickener was reduced by greater than 99%. However, MIB concentrations were still measured at approximately 20 ng Lā1 in the finished water, attributed to the addition of water recycled from the sludge thickener. A correlation between total MIB and the sample fluorescence was established and used to guide chemical dosing to maintain low levels. These results demonstrate that in situ fluorescence probes could be used to optimise the application of potassium permanganate and activated carbon when applied to reduce reducing cyanobacteria and MIB concentration during water treatment however further investigation would be required. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
