In this study, we used MS-2 bacteriophage as an
indicator of virus removal. The average removal, during the first
experimental period, of polioviruswas 2.54 (0.6) log10, which was
higher than the average log removal of MS-2 bacteriophage (1.85
0.25 log). A comparable result was obtained in the repeat experiment,
while the average log removal were 3.34 (0.11) and
2.1 (0.44), respectively. The removal efficiencies in our study
are comparable with previously reported work (Zhang and
Farahbakhsh, 2007)
