BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network

The objective of this project is to develop a tool-box of strategies and protocols for monitoring, optimization, and control of biological filtration treatment processes, as well as a summary of design parameters aimed at specific treatment objectives. This project will encourage drinking water utilities to fully understand the benefits of implementing this treatment technology, which is underutilized in North America. This project will also help define proper design and operation of biological treatment processes and help identify applications where biological filtration is the right approach.
