The number of drinking water treatment plants utilizing ozone has been increasing in North America. The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) has been evaluating the use of ozone as a treatment process through laboratory and pilot scale experiments. On October 27 and 28, 1987, the MWD passed state project water through the Los Angeles Aquaduct filtration Plant where ozonation is a regular part of the treatment process. The plant ran a series of experiments to observe how different treatment conditions would affect water quality under full scale plant operation. This paper describes the results of the study designed to evaluate ozone produced by-products under the full scale treatment conditions. Closed Loop stripping Analysis (CLSA) and XAD-4/8 resin accumulation methods were used for the isolation of by-products present in water. Furthermore, analyses of total organic carbon (TOC), trihalomethanes (THMs), total organic halide (TOX), residual ozone, and hydrogen peroxide in water were performed.
