This study was conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of preozonation or O3-BAC or combination of these two process in controlling DBPs for treating a dam source water in South China through SBR and continuous flow (200 L/h) experiments and the variables in the treatment train included the point of preozonation with respect to coagulation; the point of ozonation with respect to BAC, the ozone dosage required for preozonation and the Br- content of raw water. Results indicated the reduction in DBP formation potential closely paralleled the reduction in UV absorbance, and trihalomethane and haloacetic acid formation potential can be removed under a dose of preozone at 0.5 - 1.0 mg/L, at the same time, ozone by-products (bromate and formaldehyde) can be controlled in low level. The continuous flow experiment results show that combination of preozonation and O3-BAC process has obviously positive effects on the removals of particles with a size above 2 microm, COD(Mn), and TOC. However, DBPs formation can be controlled by the removal of organic matters.
