What Does MTTP Stand For?

MTTP stands for Maximum Total Trihalomethane Potential

MTTP, or Maximum Total Trihalomethane Potential, refers to the highest possible concentration of trihalomethanes (THMs) that can be formed in water treatment processes. THMs are organic compounds that arise from the reaction of chlorine or other disinfectants with natural organic matter in water. Understanding MTTP is crucial for water quality management, as it helps assess potential health risks and guide regulatory compliance regarding disinfection byproducts in drinking water.
