This article discusses an effort by Aqua Pennsylvania, located in suburban Philadelphia, to reduce its arsenic levels to below government standards. The technology had to fit into the footprint of one of its well water treatment facilities and be installed in a short time frame. The article reviews the options that Aqua Pennsylvania considered and their decision of using an adsorption technology that was skid‐mounted and fit neatly into the existing space.
