WASTEWATER DISINFECTION SOLUTIONS

  • SuperDisc™ Disc Filter

    WesTech’s SuperDisc™ Disc Filter from Nordic Water is a Title 22 approved inside-out disc filter.The SuperDisc provides easy access for maintenance and has an efficient high pressure cleaning system. The small footprint and low head required for the filter provides an excellent option for tertiary retrofits, such as travelling bridge sand filters. The SuperDisc can produce reuse-quality effluent and total effluent phosphorus concentrations of less than 0.1 mg/L. Other applications include primary and secondary treatment, as well as a wide range of industrial applications. The SuperDisc filter is available as a freestanding unit with filter discs contained in a stainless steel tank and a version for installation in a concrete basin.

  • Oxelia™

    Xylem’s Leopold Oxelia is an ozone-enhanced biologically active filtration system and multi-barrier solution for municipal wastewater treatment. The Leopold Oxelia system combines ozone, filtration and analytical instrumentation to deliver optimal wastewater treatment for water reuse and discharge into sensitive waters.

  • Floor Washer System

    The patent pending Floor Washer System is the Foambuster nozzle/deflector, but with the deflector rotated from below the nozzle to above the nozzle. The inverted splashplate spreads nozzle flow out across a floor in a fairly wide path to wash settled grit, sand or debris into a sump where it can be pumped out by a dewatering chopper pump. The Floor Washer System is particularly useful for attacking deposition problems in Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) tanks, storm collection tanks, equalization tanks, lift stations, and influent channels.

  • ClorTec® Aftermarket Solutions And Services

    De Nora Water Technologies can help you to optimise your electrochlorination system operation to deliver consistent life long performance.

  • 3-Way Valve

    The 3-Way Valve is available in 4”, 6” and 8” sizes and is available as a stand-alone valve or as part of a Vaughan submersible or vertical wet-well Chopper Pump. The valve is a non-plug design using a rotatable CD-4MCu valve disc to allow discharge out of either of the top ports.

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.
