19 Simultaneous Contaminant Removal USEPA considers GAC to be an effective treatment technology for: Algal Toxins Microcystin Cylindrospermopsin Anatoxin A Carcinogenic VOCs TCE PCE Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs) Trihalomethanes (THMs) Haloacetic Acids (HAA5s) Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs) PFOA PFOS Pesticides 1,2,3 Trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP) Dieldrin Glyphosate EDCs & PCPPs Medicine Pharmaceuticals Defense Barrier Chemical Spills Slide 19
20 Economic Benefit of GAC The average family of 4 consumes 65,700 gallons of water annually Tap water filtered by GAC costs a family of 4 roughly $2.00/Month (per AWWA) The average 2015 price for bottled water is $1.22/gallon Slide 20

41 Conclusion Reagglomerated bituminous coal GAC can be an effective barrier against Anatoxin-A, Cylindrospermopsin, and Microcystin-LR. Both virgin and reactivated Non-detect longer than HAB season Still effective near end of GAC service life for TOC removal/dbp prevention Slide 41
42 Summary Slide 42
43 Final Takeaways Activated Carbon can be an effective tool for the treatment of Cyanotoxins Its important to properly maintain your GAC filters to assure that proper treatment can be obtained during a Harmful Algal Bloom Not all Carbons are the same; there are benefits to pilot testing with your specific water to determine the best carbon for your application Slide 43
