This NSERC Industrial Research Chair in Advanced and Emerging Technologies for Drinking WaterTreatment is to be held by Robert Andrews (Senior Chairholder) and Ron Hofmann (Associate Chairholder) ofthe Department of Civil Engineering, University of Toronto. The research focuses on several important areasfor the municipal drinking water sector: (i) new methods for addressing the infestation of mussels at plantintakes or within treatment infrastructure, (ii) improvements to the use of granular activated carbon to removemicrocontaminants such as taste- and odour-causing substances, (iii) an exploration of an alternative advancedoxidation process using ultraviolet light together with chlorine, (iv) better methods to control biofiltration andto improve its performance, (v) identifying strategies to reduce fouling of ultrafiltration membranes, and (vi)using fluoresence techniques for organic matter characterization to lead to better water treatment.The research program involves the participation of 8 industrial collaborators, most of whom are municipalutilities that provide drinking water to over 5 million Canadians. This work will help to promote safer andmore appealing drinking water for the public, at a lower cost and with greater process control.

NSERC 饮用水处理先进和新兴技术工业研究主席由多伦多大学土木工程系的 Robert Andrews（高级主席）和 Ron Hofmann（副主席）担任。该研究重点关注市政饮用水部门的几个重要领域：(i) 解决采水口或处理基础设施内贻贝侵扰的新方法，(ii) 改进颗粒活性炭的使用，以去除味道和气味等微污染物-引起物质，(iii) 探索使用紫外线和氯的替代高级氧化工艺，(iv) 控制生物过滤并提高其性能的更好方法，(v) 确定减少超滤污垢的策略(vi) 使用荧光技术进行有机物表征，以实现更好的水处理。该研究计划涉及 8 个工业合作者的参与，其中大多数是为超过 500 万加拿大人提供饮用水的市政公用事业公司。这项工作将有助于以更低的成本和更好的过程控制，为公众提供更安全、更有吸引力的饮用水。
