Question

How efficient is microbiological treatment (reported as log-decrease) as used in most common Finnish water treatment processes?

Answer

+ Show code

Rationale

Data

Microbiological cleansing as log-decrese
Water treatment method Pathogen
Campylobacteri E.coli O157:H7 Rotavirus Norovirus Cryptosporidium Giardia
Coagulation and flotation [1] [1] [1] [1] [1]
Slow sand filtration [2]
Limestone filtration 0 0 0 0 0 0
Active carbon filtration 0 0 0 0 [3] [3]


Water treatment processes

Coagulation/Flotation
Coagulation works well
Enhanced coagulation
Sand filtration
Limestone filtration
Active carbon filtration
