使用各种技术处理含有不同水平天然有机物（NOM）和消毒副产物前体（DBPs）的地下水。测试的处理技术包括:使用三氯化铁强化混凝，然后进行常规处理或微滤、臭氧、臭氧和生物活性炭（BAC）以及纳滤。对各种地下水和处理技术的评估主要基于NOM和DBP前体的去除。此外，颜色也用于评估治疗效果。 在调查高NOM和DBP前体地下水的开发时，这些测试的结果可用于主要筛选处理技术。

Groundwaters with different levels of natural organic matter (NOM) and disinfection byproduct precursors (DBPs) were treated using various technologies. The treatment technologies tested were: enhanced coagulation using ferric chloride followed by conventional treatment or microfiltration, ozone, ozone and biologically activated carbon (BAC), and nanofiltration. Evaluation of the various groundwaters and treatment technologies was primarily based on NOM and DBP precursor removal. In addition, color was also used to evaluate treatment performance. When investigating the development of groundwaters high in NOM and DBP precursors, the results from these tests can be applied to primarily screen treatment technologies.
