Abstract According to Lu Cole, technical director for the Water Quality Association, there are two acceptable methods for removing hydrogen sulfide from a water supply. It is normally most expeditiously done with aeration equipment. The other acceptable method of hydrogen sulfide reduction is oxidation. There are two oxidation processes. One of them employs the use of manganese green sand and the other utilizes a process called BIRM. For iron bacteria problems, the Water Quality Association suggests well chlorination whereby chlorine is continuously fed into the system and allowed to react with the iron and the bacteria, followed by the use of a manganese green sand filter on the effluent from the pressure tank. These and other aspects of the subject are discussed in the article.
