We propose a simplified approach to quickly determine PAC dose for 2-MIB removal.
After simplification, HSDM parameters were obtained by only one kinetic experiment.
The Freundlich 1/n value for the approach was assumed to be in a range of 0.2–0.6.
The simplified approach well predicts the data for 5 PACs in 3 source waters.
The approach was further validated with the data collected from one full scale WTP.
