Abstract Abstract Tophill Low, a water treatment plant supplying the city of Hull, in Yorkshire, England, suffers from water quality problems due to algae and small residuals of pesticides. This plant is due for upgrading, and investigations into new compact processes were carried out to determine a cost-effective (treatment process to meet the current standards. A pilot plant was constructed to determine the efficiency of the Ozoflot® process and results for the removal of algae and oxidation of pesticides are presented, together with data on the formation and reduction of biodegradable organic carbon.
