Driven by regulations, disinfection residual in water treatment ensures consistently clean, safe water. However, contaminants like chlorate, TTHM, bromate and others can emerge as a result of chlorine-based water disinfection. In this webinar, we will look at the hazards of different disinfection byproducts (DBPs) and explore technology options for prevention and mitigation of DBPs with a particular focus on chlorate.
Dr. Boal obtained his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2002. After graduating, he was a Postdoctoral researcher at Sandia National Laboratory, a Fellow of the NASA Astrobiology Institute at the University of Hawaii, and a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratory. In 2008, he joined MIOX, now part of De Nora Water Technologies, where he has lead multiple R&D projects related to electrochlorination technologies.
