Simulation studies using a steady state model reveal that factors such as influent NH 2 CI concentration, flow rate, contact time, GAC bed depth, and particle size are important in the design of GAC adsorption systems. Field observations indicate that the model predictions are reasonable estimates of GAC dechlorination performance.
