Infrastructure Upgrades: Jumping From The 19th To The 21st Century
By Jim Lauria,
Amiad Filtration Systems

Visit us at ACE09, Booth 3645.

The U.S. government's stimulus package, with more than $7 billion earmarked for water infrastructure upgrades, represents an opportunity to start upgrading the nation's water infrastructure with new, more environmentally friendly technology. In many cases, we'll be updating systems and technology that date back more than 100 years, and we'll be jumping from the 19th to the 21st century.


No Wizardry In "Emerald City's" Dramatic Water Quality Improvement

There is no Yellow Brick Road leading to South Carolina's "Emerald City." But residents of Greenwood, SC, would say that, like its mythical namesake, the city has plenty to offer. One particular point of pride is the city's commitment to delivering superior water quality to area residents.

A recent demonstration of the city's commitment to water quality is the new water disinfection system at the local W.R. Wise Water Treatment Plant. In 2006, the Greenwood Commissioners of Public Works approved installation of a system that improved water quality, significantly reduced total trihalomethanes and haloacetic acid levels, improved chloramine levels in the distribution system, and produced operational cost savings, among other benefits. A key component of the system conversion was an on-site sodium hypochlorite generation system.


Reliable Solutions For UV Drinking Water Disinfection

UV disinfection is one of the fastest growing technologies in the water industry. One factor for this success story is certainly the operational advantages over chemical disinfection solutions, such as no formation of disinfection byproducts, the ease of operation and maintenance, and no need for hazardous chemicals. However, even more important for the wide implementation, is the existence of standard methods for the design, testing, and operation of UV equipment.

The City of Aurora is taking an innovative approach to prepare for the city's water future. This effort is known as the Prairie Waters Project. The project is enabling the City of Aurora to maximize its use of water that it already owns from the South Platte River, and will add to the city's ability to provide its citizens high quality, pure drinking water. A key component of this strategy is the construction of the Aurora Reservoir Water Purification Facility (ARWPF). The facility will use a multistep purification process that features a state-of-the-art Trojan ultraviolet (UV)-oxidation and disinfection system.
