CWEA - ADVANCED WATERTREATMENT QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS WITH SOLUTIONS 2024
Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) - ANSWER The blending of advanced treated, recycled or reclaimed water
into a natural water source (environmental barrier) that could be used for drinking (potable) water after
further treatment.
Direct Potable Reuse (DPR) - ANSWER Process of treating wastewater to drinkable standards and
returning it to the raw water supply (distribution system) without the use of an environmental buffer.
Rather than mixing the treated water into an aquifer or reservoir
What has led to the research of Advanced Water Treatment? - ANSWER Strict effluent discharge limits
are pushing the development of treatment technologies.
Most wastewater reuse is? - ANSWER Unplanned and indirect reuse (IPR)
What is Fit for purpose? - ANSWER It is reclaimed wastewater that is treated to specific criteria and is
reused for purposes according to its treatment.
What are the AWT processes? - ANSWER 1. Microfiltration / Ultrafiltration
2. Reverse Osmosis / Nanofiltration
3. Advanced Oxidation (AOP)
4. Biological Aerated Filtration
5. Stabilization
6. Disinfection
What is the Stabilization Process? - ANSWER Adding nutrients to the treated water so that it wont pull
from pipes and etc.
How many days does IPR treated wastewater effluent need to be in Reservoir or Basin before entering
Water Treatment Facility? - ANSWER 30 days

Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
What can we use to disinfect water? - ANSWER Chlorine, ozone, and UV.
Benefits of Advanced Oxidation Process? - ANSWER Removed Total Organic Carbons and creates a
barrier for microorganisms.
How much Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Conductivity can Reverse Osmosis remove? - ANSWER <
0.5mg/l TOC and 250mg/l conductivity.
MF, RO, UV/H2O2 is an example of what? - ANSWER MULTIPLE BARRIER TO PATHOGENS
