This guide provides an Increased understanding of the physical and conceptual aspects of implementing online conceptual aspects in drinking water treatment plants.

As EPA standards for water quality have tightened in recent years, the need to more accurately assess filter performance and improve the overall treatment process has led to increased demand for the high sensitivity provided by particle counters. One particle counter can give you more data than a dozen turbidimeters-if you know how to sort through

As EPA standards for water quality have tightened in recent years, the need to more accurately assess filter performance and improve the overall treatment process has led to increased demand for the high sensitivity provided by particle counters. One particle counter can give you more data than a dozen turbidimeters-if you know how to sort through the complexity and confusion.

This manual was developed to provide guidance on techniques and procedures for maintanance and operation of water filtration plants and to provide background information and advice on where to find additional information.
