Evaluation and Assessment of Organic Chemical Removal Technologies for Drinking Water, Ground Water Report

This project is designed to review and summarize existing information on the effectiveness of various treatment technologies for removing unregulated organic compounds (UOCs) and to identify the best available technologies for removing the organic chemicals found in NJ drinking waters. This report specifically addresses organic chemicals detected in ground waters in the State. It should be noted that the scope of this study does not include disinfection by-products or the common volatile organic chemicals that have been detected in ground waters. The available treatment techniques were reviewed and summarized to determine the most applicable technologies for New Jersey ground water supplies. The most applicable technologies are described relative to performance, reliability, treatment issues, and approximate costs. The results of this project will be used by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) to determine the need for and extent of demonstration testing that may be conducted to further evaluate the most feasible technologies as they apply to New Jersey ground water supplies.New Jersey Corporation for Advanced Technology BlackPurpose: The purpose of the report is to study the effectiveness of treatments for removing unregulated organic compounds from drinking water
