Practical Management of Biogenic Odors at Drinking Water Treatment Plants

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Key Takeaways More than 30 distinct odorants have been reported within operational‐scale drinking water treatment plants. Conventional treatment removes microbial cells but is less successful with dissolved odorants. Activated carbon will adsorb most dissolved odorants effectively, especially post‐ozonation.
