The degree was conferred in November 2001. Research Officer: Chris Kostakis Project Leader: Dr Brenton C. Nicholson Research Node: Australian Water Quality Centre CRC for Water Quality and Treatment Project No. 3.2.3 – Alternative Disinfection Regimes iii CRC for Water Quality and Treatment Research Report 9-2001 Executive Summary The provision of microbiologically safe drinking water is still commonly achieved by chlorination in most water treatment plants. The discovery of chloroform and many other halogenated organic compounds in drinking water as a result of chlorination has sparked public concern and the introduction of stringent regulations on maximum contaminant levels of these disinfection by-products in treated water. Water utilities overseas, and possibly Australian utilities in the future, are being compelled to adopt alternative water treatment regimes in order to reduce the level of these chlorinated disinfection by-products. The use of ozone in water treatment for the management of various water quality issues including disinfection by-product control has increased in popularity and is becoming a widespread practice. Ozone is shown to react with natural organic matter present in water to form lower molecular weight oxygenated compounds such as aldehydes, ketoacids and carboxylic acids. Analytical procedures for the determination of these classes of ozonation by-products were optimised and validated in this work. Bench scale ozonation experiments were performed on waters collected from the Myponga, Hope Valley and Tod Reservoirs. Doses of 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 5mg of ozone per mg of dissolved organic carbon content were applied and aldehydes, ketoacids and carboxylic acids were found to generally increase with increasing ozone dose. The formation of these compounds was shown to depend on the organic and inorganic character of the water. Bacterial regrowth potentials were determined and the biodegradability of the organic matter was shown to increase in ozonated waters. Raw waters and their ozonated samples were subsequently chlorinated to determine the effects of pre-ozonation on the formation potentials of trihalomethanes, chloroacetic acids and other chlorinated disinfection by-products. The effects of ozone dose on chlorinated by-product formation following chlorination differed in each water, illustrating the dependence on source water characteristics. The character of the organic matter and high bromide levels are shown to significantly contribute to the outcome of halogenated by-product formation. Finally, water samples were collected at each stage of the water treatment process from the Edenhope water treatment plant in Western Victoria, Australia. The plant utilises advanced treatment technologies such as ozonation and biologically activated carbon. Aldehydes, ketoacids, chlorinated disinfection by-products and other water quality parameters were monitored throughout the treatment process and the observed distribution of the various products is discussed. iv CRC for Water Quality and Treatment Research Report 9-2001 Acknowledgments This work was funded by the CRC for Water Quality and Treatment and supported by SA Water as part of CRC Project 3.2.3 “Alternative Disinfection Regimes” The contribution of the other supervisors in this project, namely Associate Professor Dennis Mulcahy and Dr Gunter Klass of the University of South Australia is gratefully acknowledged. The support and cooperation of co-workers and postgraduate students at the Australian Water Quality Centre is also acknowledged as without this, work of such quality would not have been possible. Chris Kostakis would also like to thank Mr Noel Sims, Mr Peter Felgate, Dr Hilton Kobus and Dr Paul Kirkbride of State Forensic Science for their encouragement, motivation and for some necessary time off given to complete this report. v CRC for Water Quality and Treatment Research Report 9-2001 Table of Contents Page FOREWORD…………………………………………………………………………………………..………..iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY…………………………………………………………………………………..….iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS……………………………………………………………………………………….v TABLE OF CONTENTS……………………………………………………………………………………….vi LIST OF TABLES…………………………………………………………………………………………......viii LIST OF FIGURES…………………………………………………………………………………………….ix LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS………………………………………………………………………………......xi 1 INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………………………………….…..1 1.1 Overview………………………………………………………………………………………….……1 1.2 Natural Organic Matter in Water………………………………………………………………….....1 1.3 NOM: Precursors to Disinfection By-products………………………………………………….….3 1.3.1 Chlorine and its Use in Water Treatment………………………………………………....3 1.3.2 Chlorinated Waters in South Australia……………………………………………….……6 1.4 Alternative Disinfectants…………………………………………………………………………..….7 1.4.1 Effectiveness of Disinfection……………………………………………………………..…7 1.4.2 Chloramines……………………………………………………………………………….…7 1.4.3 Chlorine Dioxide……………………………………………………………………….…….8 1.4.4 Ozone……………………………………………………………………………………..…..8 1.5 Reactions of Ozone…………………………………………………………………………….….….8 1.5.1 Reactions of Ozone With Organic Compounds…………………………………………..8 1.5.2 Reactions of Ozone With NOM……………………………………………………………..9 1.5.3 Aldehyde and Ketoacid Analyses…………………………………………………………11 1.5.4 Biodegradable Organic Matter…………………………………………………………….11 1.6 Research Objectives…………………………………………………………………………………12 2 THE WATER SOURCES AND THEIR CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS………………………………………………………………………………...13 2.1 Hope Valley Raw Water……………………………………………………………………………..13 2.2 Myponga Raw Water………………………………………………………………………………… 14 2.3 Tod Raw Water……………………………………………………………………………………….15 2.4 Reagent Water……………………………………………………................................................16 3 OZONATION: APPLICATION AND BY-PRODUCT ANALYSIS…………...............................17 3.1 Ozonation Experiments………………………….................…………….............................……17 3.2 Raw Waters and Their Ozone Demand…………………...........................................…………18 3.3 Ozonation By-Products and Evaluation of The Methodology……...........................................21 3.3.1 Determination of Aldehydes in Water……………………...........................................…..21 3.3.1.1 Analytical Procedure………………………………............................................22 3.3.1.2 Sample Dechlorination…………………………..........................................…..22 3.3.1.3 Background Contamination………………………............................................23 3.3.1.4 Recoveries and Limits of Quantitation……………..........................................24 3.3.2 Determination of Ketoacids in Water………………………..............................................25 3.3.2.1 Buffering the pH of the Reaction…………………............................................26 3.3.2.2 Decarboxylation of Oxalacetic Acid……………..........................................….26 3.3.2.3 Analytical Procedure…………………………….............................................…27 3.3.2.4 Recoveries and Limits of Quantitation…………........................................…...27 3.3.3 Determination of Carboxylic Acids in Water………………...............................................28 3.3.3.1 Identification of Carboxylic Acids………………...............................................30 3.3.3.2 Developmental Work…………………………...….............................................30 3.3.3.3 Analytical Procedure…………………………….............................................…31 3.4 Determination of Bacterial Regrowth Potentials…………………..............................................32 4 CHLORINATION: APPLICATION AND BY-PRODUCT ANALYSIS……………..........………..34 4.1 Chlorination Experiments…………………………………...............................................……….34 4.2 Chlorination By-Products and Methodology………………….............................................……34 vi CRC for

    Mr Danny Simpson Executive Director RecFish SA [email protected] Dear Mr Simpson I refer to your letter to ALP candidates regarding RecFish SA’s priorities for the 2018 South Australian State Election, dated 23 November 2017. I thank RecFish SA for its submission ‘Making SA a great place to fish again’. Labor respects and supports RecFish SA as the peak body representing the interests of recreational fishers in SA and the critical role you play in representing and advocating on fishers’ behalf. The State Labor Government is committed to managing the State’s aquatic resources for the benefit of the whole community. Recreational fishing is a significant contributor to our economy, particularly in our regional communities, as well as being a much-loved pastime for around 277,000 South Australians. We recently announced a multi-million dollar structural reform package for the Marine Scalefish Fishery to protect the future sustainability of key fish stocks including King George Whiting, Garfish and Snapper. Key components of the plan include a $20 million voluntary buy-back scheme, targeting the removal of 100 commercial net and longline licences, in addition to the introduction of new zoning and quota management regulations. Further to this, the State Labor Government will undertake a comprehensive recreational fishing survey to improve estimates of recreational catch and effort across the state; and investigate more opportunities for stock enhancement programs – including in marine and metropolitan waterways. A re-elected State Labor Government will fund recreational fishing grants for projects to boost recreational fishing experiences and tourism, including new or upgraded facilities, improving access, restocking and habitat restoration.
