A pilot plant which has been used to examine the suitability of a number of treatment options for upgrading North West Water's water‐treatment plant at Huntingdon, Chester, is described. Processes tested include biological pretreatment using a fluidized sand bed to remove manganese and ammonia, chemical coagulation, chemical oxidation using chlorine, ozone and potassium permanganate, and both primary and secondary filtration with sand and granular activated carbon. The reduction of trihalomethanes and pesticides was also investigated.
