TY - JOUR ID - TI - Effect of Pulse Electric Field on Water Characteristics as a Disinfection Function in Filtration Unit AU - Hassan H. Joni AU - Alaa H. Al-Fatlawi b, AU - Ghassan Abukhanafer a*, PY - 2021 VL - 39 IS - 1part(A) Engineering SP - 116 EP - 122 JO - Engineering and Technology Journal مجلة الهندسة والتكنولوجيا SN - 16816900 24120758 AB - This paper studied the impact of the addition of pulse electric-filed lowvoltage (PEF-LV) in the filtration process by designing, constructing, andoperating a pilot-scale. The Disinfectant process (DP) demonstrated severalbenefits in terms of efficiency and ease of application, without the use of anychemical additive. This system contains two pairs of silver mesh electrodesinside the filtration column test with a low pulse voltage for killingmicroorganisms. The parametric effects of DP performance, such asalternating current pulse frequency and the voltage applied wereinvestigated. The effect of PEF-LV on the biological, physical, and chemicalcharacteristic of water was studied. The transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was used to examine the change of the cell wall morphology ofEscherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus cells for influent, and treatedwater. The results show the removal efficiency of E. coli and S. aureus 96 %at 30 V and 0.5 Hz
