Water treatment plants that currently employ coagulation strategies based solely on lowering the turbidity output of the finished product may find that they will need to rethink that practice. To control or minimize the production of DBPs, utility operations that use conventional filtration must operate with enhanced coagulation or enhanced softening to achieve total organic carbon percent removal levels specified in the rule. Utilities that cannot meet these criteria should know their enhanced coagulation endpoint. This article discusses how utilities can estimate their enhanced coagulation endpoint.
