Removal of Hydrocarbon Taste and Odor from Potable Water by Replaceable Carbon-Containing Filter Cartridges.

Abstract

This report covers an investigation conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of replaceable carbon-containing filter cartridges for the removal of hydrocarbon taste and odor from potable water made non-drinkable by diesel fuel contamination. The results of the study indicate: carbon-containing filter cartridges effectively remove diesel fuel from potable water contaminated with the addition of 1 mg/1 of fuel; POL tankers can be equipped with a simple housing containing replaceable carbon-containing filter cartridges for the conversion of cleaned POL tankers to potable water transport service.
