Constant Chlor® Rapid Rate Feeder Fast-Acting CSO Disinfection System
The Constant Chlor® Rapid Rate Feeder is a highly-customizable large scale CSO disinfection system for wastewater applications. CSOs may occur after a large rainfall or melt, causing wastewater to exceed the capacity of the system. When used with Constant Chlor® Plus Briquettes, the Rapid Rate feeder is able to quickly disinfect the large volume of wastewater during a CSO event.
Trident® HS Package Water Treatment Plant
The Trident HS package water treatment plant provides multi-barrier protection for difficult-to-treat surface water, groundwater, industrial process water, and tertiary wastewater. The multi-barrier design of the Trident HS, which consists of packaged high-rate settling, adorption clarification, mixed media filtration and optional UV disinfection, is the latest improvement of the original Trident system.
TrojanUVFlexAOP – Advanced Oxidation System
Meeting the demand for clean water has never been more challenging. Communities around the world are facing a growing water stress – an insufficient supply, in terms of water quality or water quantity – and often both. Many are turning to potable reuse and drinking water remediation to meet these demands. The TrojanUVFlex®AOP can be part of the solution. This UV advanced oxidation system destroys a range of chemical contaminants while simultaneously providing final treatment, helping municipalities relying on lower quality water sources to continue producing high-quality potable drinking water.
NeoTech D338™
The NeoTech D338™ is specially designed to disinfect water and is an essential component in advanced oxidation processes.
Emergency Chlorine Scrubbers
IMS Wet Emergency Chlorine Scrubber Systems are designed to contain and treat accidental releases of chlorine gas. Systems are offered to treat up to 3 tons of chlorine gas. The IMS wet emergency chlorine scrubber is a three-stage single-pass chemical absorption system with very high efficiency horizontal packed bed sections. An induced draft fan pulls the chlorine gas through the scrubber, where it contacts a recirculation caustic solution. The scrubber system is factory pre-assembled, complete with induced draft fan, recirculation pump, instrumentation and controls.

ABOUT WASTEWATER DISINFECTION

Wastewater disinfection takes place after primary, secondary and sometimes tertiary wastewater treatment. It is typically a final step to remove organisms from the treated water before the effluent is released back into the water system. Disinfection prevents the spread of waterborne diseases by reducing microbes and bacterial numbers to a regulated level.

A variety of physical and chemical methods are used to disinfect wastewater prior to it being released into natural waterways. Historically, the chemical agent of choice for municipal wastewater treatment has been chlorine, due to its disinfecting properties and low cost. However, the rising cost of chlorine and concerns that low chlorine concentrations can still be toxic to fish and other wildlife, has given rise to more physical methods of wastewater disinfection being adopted such as ozonation or ultraviolet (UV) light.

The use of ozone as a disinfection agent has the added benefit of increasing the dissolved oxygen content of the treated wastewater. However, because the ozone has to be generated, ozonation can require prohibitive up-front capital expenditure compared to traditional chlorination. UV disinfection has been growing in popularity as a wastewater disinfection method, in large part because of the life-cycle economics of the equipment and the fact that, like ozone, there is no toxic residual.
