Cryptosporidium Oocysts USING Conventional TREATMENT filtration
نویسنده
چکیده
ater suppliers need information about the removal efficiency of Cryptosporidium and potential surrogate parameters over a broad range of water quality and treatment conditions. These data can be obtained by tracking environmental concentrations of Cryptosporidium through full-scale treatment plants or feeding larger numbers of oocysts through pilot-scale facilities. Table 1 shows published Cryptosporidium removal results from fulland pilotscale conventional treatment plants. Conventional treatment was defined as chemical addition, followed by coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and granular media filtration. Four studies (States et al, 1997; Kelly W

Detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts in water: techniques for generating precise recovery data.
When determining the recovery efficiency of a procedure for the detection of Cryptosporidium or the removal efficiency of a treatment process, it is necessary to accurately enumerate a 'seed dose'. Conventional techniques for this are highly variable and consequently, can result in misleading data. In this study, a flow cytometric method was developed for the production of suspensions of Crypto...
متن کاملDrinking water treatment processes for removal of Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
Major waterborne cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis outbreaks associated with contaminated drinking water have been linked to evidence of suboptimal treatment. Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts are particularly more resistant than Giardia lamblia cysts to removal and inactivation by conventional water treatment (coagulation, sedimentation, filtration and chlorine disinfection); therefore, extensive ...
متن کاملRemoval of Cryptosporidium and Giardia through Conventional Water Treatment and Direct Filtration
Pilotand full-scale evaluations of Giardia and Cryptosporidium cyst removals through direct filtration and conventional water treatment were conducted by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality. Cysts were seeded continuously in a step dose at a 0.5 gpm pilot plant, and in a spike at a 900 gpm full-scale plant; both plants were operated under conventional treatment and direct filtration re...
متن کاملUltrasonic treatment of Cryptosporidium oocysts.
The effect of 20 kHz ultrasound on the viability of Cryptosporidium oocysts was investigated. More than 90% of the dispersed Cryptosporidium oocysts could be deactivated in about 1.5 min of continuous sonication. In order to apply this technique to large quantities of contaminated water, quantitative filtration and redispersion of Cryptosporidium oocysts were investigated and found to be easily...
متن کاملPresence of Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts in drinking water supplies in northern Spain.
AIMS To evaluate the prevalence of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in surface water supplies from the province of Alava, northern Spain, and to investigate possible associations among the presence of these pathogenic protozoa with microbiological, physicochemical and atmospheric parameters. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 284 samples of drinking and recreational water supplies were analysed. Crypt...
