This article reports the results of applying ozonation and membrane treatment to a groundwater source containing significant levels of color and disinfection by-product (DBP) precursors. Although both treatments provided effective removal of color, greater levels of DBPs were associated with the ozone treatment--after postchlorination. The effective DBP precursor removal provided by membrane separation of this groundwater source indicates that membrane processes are a promising treatment technology for complying with the more stringent DBP regulations that are expected in the near future.
