Ron Hofmann

Dr. Ron Hofmann is a researcher in the field of water treatment and environmental engineering. His work focuses on the development and application of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), such as UV/H2O2 and UV/Cl2, for the removal of micropollutants and disinfection byproducts from water. He has also contributed to the understanding of granular activated carbon (GAC) performance in taste and odor removal, as well as the control of invasive species like zebra and quagga mussels in water treatment systems. His research has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, including Environmental Science & Technology, Water Research, and Journal of Water Supply: Research and Technology - Aqua. Dr. Hofmann's work has significant implications for improving water quality and ensuring the safety of drinking water supplies.

Ron Hofmann is a researcher in drinking water engineering, focusing on advanced oxidation processes, disinfection by-products, and microbial inactivation. His work explores the effectiveness of UV/chlorine and UV/H2O2 systems for contaminant destruction and taste/odour control. Hofmann also investigates the fate of micropollutants, geosmin, and cyanotoxins in water treatment plants. His research includes full-scale evaluations of chlorine dioxide and UV disinfection strategies, as well as the impact of humic matter and alkalinity on bromate formation. He has contributed to understanding particle-associated viruses, adsorption mechanisms in granular activated carbon, and biofouling mitigation in water treatment systems.
