  • Water Champ® FX Induction Systems Provide Superior Mixing

    The Water Champ® FX Chemical Induction System from Evoqua has set the benchmark in chemical feed and disinfection with its innovative design and versatile applications for chlorination, dechlorination, chloramines, pH adjustment and rapid mix. The system provides superior mixing intensity maximizing chemical reaction while using less energy. Independent third party testing has proven that a Water Champ system can provide up to 40% better power to flow-rate ratios compared to other induction mixers or conventional methods.

  • Oxelia Oxidation-Enhanced Biologically Active Filtration For Drinking Water

    In the battle with hard-to-treat contaminants, drinking water just got a powerful new ally. Leopold Oxelia™ oxidation-enhanced biologically active filtration system.

  • ReFleX™ Efficiency

    For both disinfection and TOC-reduction applications, NeoTech Aqua Solutions’ patented ReFleX™ UV chamber technology represents the state-of-the-art in high-efficiency UV systems by reflecting over 99% of the UV we generate back into the water.

  • GDT Mixing & Contacting Systems

    The GDT Process starts with the creation of ozone from an Ozone Generator. The ozone is then drawn into a Mazzei®Venturi Injector which provides dynamic mixing (a Back Pressure Control Valve adjusts injector outlet pressure optimizing ozone mass transfer in the system). Then mixing and contacting is enhanced in a Flash Reactor.

  • Comparison Of Ultra Low Range Total Chlorine Residual Limits Of Detection And Quantitation Across The Water Industry

    Limits of Detection and Quantitation are key to understanding analytical instrumentation capabilities, especially when non-optimal process control can lead to damage of sensitive equipment due to insufficiently accurate readings.

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.
