Membrane technologies have emerged in recent years as a viable treatment alternative for utilities seeking to comply with new and pending US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) drinking water regulations. One reason this type of technology has become more appealing is that it has the potential to meet regulatory requirements for both microbes and disinfection byproducts using fewer unit processes than conventional treatment trains. The effectiveness of nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, and microfiltration for removing disinfection byproduct precursors is of particular interest in anticipation of more stringent regulations.
