The p urpose of ANSI/AWWA B100 is to provide purchasers wi
29、th a standard for the purchase and installation of granular filter material (filter material). A wealth of information on innovations in filter design is available from various sources, including Journal AWWA, Water Treatment Plant Design, and references found in appendix A. These sources include de
30、sign parameters for filters using single and multiple media. As a result, ANSI/AWWA B100 makes reference to filter design only as the design relates to the filter materials used. ANSI/AWWA B604, Standard for Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), should be consulted when using GAC as a filter medium, beca
31、use GAC is not specifically covered in ANSI/AWWA B100. I.B. History. The AWWA Standard for Filtering Material was approved as tentative by the AWWA Board of Directors on Nov. 15, 1948, and as a standard on Jan. 16, 1950. Revisions were approved on June 2, 1953, Jan. 31, 1972, June 20, 1980, Jan. 29,
32、 1989, Dec. 1, 1996, and June 17, 2001. The original standard was approved and promulgated in the course of activities of the Water Purification Division and under jurisdiction of the Committee on Water Works Practice. The last edition was approved on Jan. 25, 2009. This edition was approved on Jan.
33、 16, 2016. I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct and indirect drinking water additi
34、ves. Other members of the original consortium included the Water Research Foundation (formerly AwwaRF) and the Conference of State Health and Environmental Managers (COSHEM). The American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) joined later.
35、In the United States, authority to regulate products for use in, or in contact with, drinking water rests with individual states. Local agencies may choose to impose requirements more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate the health * American National Standards Institute, 25 West
36、43rd Street, Fourth Floor, New York, NY 10036. AWWA, ASCE, and CSSE. Water Treatment Plant Design, 5th Ed. Denver, Colo. (2012).

37、effects of products and drinking water additives from such products, state and local agencies may use various references, including 1. An advisory program formerly administered by USEPA, Office of Drinking Water, discontinued on Apr. 7, 1990. 2. Specific policies of the state or local agency. 3. Two
38、 standards developed under the direction of NSF*: NSF/ANSI 60, Drinking Water Treatment ChemicalsHealth Effects, and NSF/ANSI 61, Drinking Water System ComponentsHealth Effects. 4. Other references, including AWWA standards, Food Chemicals Codex, Water Chemicals Codex, and other standards considered
39、 appropriate by the state or local agency. Various certification organizations may be involved in certifying products in accor- dance with NSF/ANSI 61. Individual states or local agencies have authority to accept or accredit certification organizations within their jurisdictions. Accreditation of ce
40、rti- fication organizations may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Annex A, “Toxicology Review and Evaluation Procedures,” to NSF/ANSI 61 does not stipulate a maximum allowable level (MAL) of a contaminant for substances not regulated by a USEPA final maximum contaminant level (MCL). The MALs o
41、f an unspecified list of “unregulated contaminants” are based on toxicity testing guidelines (noncarcinogens) and risk characterization methodology (carcinogens). Use of Annex A procedures may not always be identical, depending on the certifier. ANSI/AWWA B100 does not address additives requirements
42、. Thus, users of this standard should consult the appropriate state or local agency having jurisdiction in order to 1. Determine additives requirements, including applicable standards. 2. Determine the status of certifications by parties offering to certify products for contact with, or treatment of
43、, drinking water. 3. Determine current information on product certification. II. Special Issues. II.A. Source of Supply. Filter material, such as silica sand, high-density sand, granular activated carbon, or anthracite, as well as support gravel, should be obtained from sources that can certify the
44、site-specific manufacturing facilities are * NSF International, 789 North Dixboro Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48105.

45、ualified to produce and supply these materials for water treatment plants, in compliance with the ANSI/AWWA B100 standard. II.B. Filter Media. Filter media are the component of a filter that removes particulate matter from the water during the filtration process. This standard describes anthracite,
46、silica sand, high-density sand, and filter-media support gravel material. High-specific gravity (high-density) filter media consisting of garnet, ilmenite, hematite, magnetite, or associated minerals of those ores are used by some utilities in an attempt to remove more suspended solids at higher fil
47、tration rates. These small, high-density media remain as a layer under the silica sand as a result of particle size and specific gravity differences in the same way that silica sand remains separated from overlaid anthracite in a dual-media filter. Some intermixing usually occurs at the inter- face
48、between the layers. The term garnet refers to several different minerals (mostly almandite and andra- dite) that are silicates of iron, aluminum, and calcium mixtures. However, garnet could also be grossularite, spessartite, and uvarovite, the latter being a chromium mineral. Ilmenite is an iron tit
49、anium mineral that invariably is associated with hematite and magnetite, both iron oxides. Properties of granular activated carbon when used as a filter medium are described in ANSI/AWWA B604, Standard for Granular Activated Carbon. Testing require- ments for granular activated carbon vary from those for anthracite, silica and garnet. Refer to ANSI/AWWA B604, Standard for Granular Activated Carbon. Properties of media used in precoat filters (such as diatomaceous earth) can be found in ANSI/AWWA B101, Precoat Filter Media. Synthetic media and
