Part of the solution for many systems will includeremoval of arsenic through a wellhead water treatment plant. Coagulation/microfiltration(C/MF) has been shown in bench-scale testing, pilot testing, and full-scale systems to be aneffective technology for removal of arsenic and meeting the arsenic standards. Thispresentation describes the application of C/MF technology for arsenic removal for theFallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe Arsenic Removal Water Treatment Plant. This project is beingimplemented by the Indian Health Service in Fallon, Nevada. It is a 0.5-million gallon perday wellhead water treatment plant being integrated into an existing water distributionsystem.
