Surrogate Parameters for Monitoring Organic Matter and THM Precursors
Abstract
UV absorbance at 254 nm is an excellent surrogate parameter for estimating the raw water concentrations of organic carbon (NPTOC—nonpurgeable total organic carbon) and THM precursors (TTHMFP—total trihalomethane formation potential) in the Grasse River (highly colored water) and the Glenmore Reservoir (protected, upland source). The raw water surrogate equations developed from the Grasse River data were tested successfully on other waters. Direct filtration pilot‐plant data demonstrated that UV can be used to monitor pilot‐plant performance for removals of NPTOC and THM precursors. For two plants studied, UV was an excellent predictor of plant performance for removals of NPTOC and THM precursors. Instantaneous TTHMs of the finished waters can be predicted from raw water UV, finished water pH, chlorine consumption, and temperature data. Particular attention should be given to the selection of sampling locations and to the sample‐handling conditions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
