• Demonstrating the applicability of innovative technologies to a range of water
chemistries, geographic locales, and system sizes
• Evaluating the cost-effectiveness of these technologies and providing education,
training, and technology transfer assistance to user communities
The Awwa Research Foundation (AwwaRF) has managed the bench-scale research pro-
grams. WERC (Consortium for Environmental Education and Technology Development)
is evaluating the economic feasibility of the technologies investigated and conducting
community education/technology transfer activities.
SNL manages the pilot-scale demonstration program. During the period 2004-2006, SNL
has conducted pilot treatment demonstrations at six sites. Pilot communities and technolo-
gies were matched to examine a wide range of alternative technologies and site conditions.
More than 25 arsenic removal technologies were approved for evaluation and were
reviewed are described in this website. Treatment methods are categorized as adsorptive
media, coagulation/iltration/membranes, or other technologies. An alphabetical index to
all technologies is also provided. Other information about the technologies and related
topics can be found in two summary reports and the websites for each of the Short Courses
and Vendors Forums, which include links to the presentations given at these events.
9.2.4 Association of Water Treatment Professionals and
Resource Center-Determined Treatment Methods
• Adsorptive media (see Table 9.1) (http://www.sandia.gov/water/docs/adsorp.doc)
• Coagulation/iltration/membranes (http://www.sandia.gov/water/docs/cfm.doc)
• Other technologies (http://www.sandia.gov/water/docs/other.doc)
• Alphabetical index (http://www.sandia.gov/water/docs/alpha.doc)
The classes of technologies tested include
1. Continuous low systems (ion exchange, metal oxyhydroxide sorbents)
2. Batch systems (coagulation/microiltration)
3. Reverse osmosis
