The persistence of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in wastewater effluent highlights the need for active monitoring and targeted removal of these compounds in potable reuse applications. The City of Altamonte Springs' permanent potable reuse demonstration facility, pureALTA, employs a carbon-based advanced treatment process using multiple treatment barriers to provide potable water that meets state and federal regulatory requirements and health guidelines for unregulated contaminants. The combination of ozonation, biological activated carbon filtration (BAC), ultrafiltration (UF), granular activated carbon adsorption (GAC), and UV advanced oxidation process (UV AOP) showed complete removal of long-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
