"Powdered activated carbon and biofiltration improve MF performance: Part II" 

This article shows how the use of high-dose powdered activated carbon and biofiltration are able to improve the performance of membrane-based microfiltration systems. The first part of this feature, which was published in the May 2007 issue of Membrane Technology, provides an overview of the study, materials and methods, and experimental design and operational conditions of the reactors. The second installment, which appears here, discusses the results of this study.
