The presence of Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) in drinking water poses a significant health threat and imparts an unpleasant taste, necessitating effective removal methods. This work introduces a novel, combined water treatment technique integrating stripping, oxidation, and adsorption, designed for cost-effectiveness and suitability for domestic and rural applications. The experimental testing focused on MTBE removal, demonstrating high efficiency under specific conditions. The findings aim to inform professionals in management and industrial marketing regarding investment in innovative water treatment solutions.

The research presents a novel and cost-effective approach to water treatment, specifically targeting the removal of MTBE, a common fuel oxygenate with health implications. Experimental results indicate a high removal efficiency of 90% within 20 minutes of residence time, suggesting the viability of this combined stripping, oxidation, and adsorption technique for domestic and rural applications. The authors highlight the potential usefulness of these findings for professionals involved in management and industrial marketing, particularly those considering investments in innovative environmental technologies.
