The current technologies being used to remove methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) from drinking water supplies are Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) and aeration via air-stripping. These technologies are not efficient. Air stripping is expensive, and in reality is doing nothing more than removing MTBE from the groundwater and discharging it directly to the air where it has the potential to be re-absorbed into the water in some other area of the country. GAC has a low loading capacity for MTBE. Research at the T
