Abstract
Two water treatment pilot plants were operated in Marshall, MN to determine the most effective process for iron and manganese removal and examine coagulation and filtration characteristics. The first pilot plant simulated the existing Marshall treatment process including aeration, chemical oxidation and filtration. The second pilot plant simulated partial lime softening treatment which included aeration, softening and filtration. Data were collected from both pilot plants on a daily basis for 77 days. The data indicated that the partial lime softening plant (pilot plant 2) was substantially more effective in removing iron and manganese. A nonionic polymer, Na/clear 7181, was able to achieve average turbidities <5 NTU from the detention basin and
