The process of removal of natural organic matter from groundwater by adsorption on powdered activated carbon, coagulation and flocculation was investigated. It was found that the combination of these processes yielded a decrease of KMnO4 values, which allowed the reduction of the coagulant concentration, needed to achieve the necessary quality of drinking water, up to 50%. Also, it was established that the sequence of adding powdered activated carbon and coagulant is one of the essential factors determining the efficiency of NOM removal from water, and which is primarily conditioned by the nature of the organic matter present in the investigated water.

The paper presents the results of a pilot study of the combined process of ozonation and filtration through biologically activated carbon to remove residual organic matter in the process of drinking water production. It was established that the application of these procedures resulted in the removal in average of 74% PB, 50% TOC, 60% of total aldehydes, and 54% PFTHM, the result being a consequence of the adsorption/biosorption processes involved.
