| Abstract: | The Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD) is upgrading its unfiltered Coquitlam water treatment system to meet the updated Health Canada guidelines for providing 3-log reduction or inactivation of Cryptosporidium and Giardia. The existing Coquitlam system, which is designed for peak flows of 1200 ML/d (317 mgd), includes an ozonation facility providing 3 log Giardia inactivation, and a chlorination/corrosion control facility. To meet Health Canada guidelines, a UV disinfection facility will be constructed, which will provide 3-log inactivation of Cryptosporidium and Giardia, and the ozone dosage will be increased to reduce THM and HAA precursors as well as improve UV transmittance. This paper will focus on the conceptual design of the Coquitlam system and the preliminary bench-scale studies that were completed for GVWD as part of the predesign phase of the project.
