Spotlight On Disinfection

SPONSOR:

SAF-T-FLO Chemical Injection has published a white paper titled "Guidelines for Municipal Chemical Injection". This important paper covers the basics of municipal chemical injection. It also contains a lot of useful information for anyone who works with municipal chemical feed systems. Learn more.

Case Study: Mixed Oxidants Reduce Operational Costs, Improve Safety And Performance
The City of Crossville, TN, needed to address increasingly strict regulations on the use of gas chlorine to disinfect their community's water. By switching from gas chlorine to MIOX mixed oxidants, the city has reduced operational costs, improved residual durability, reduced byproduct formation, produced longer filter runs, and eliminated the safety and liability issues involved with using chlorine gas.
Case Study: The TrojanUVPhox At The Aurora Reservoir Water Purification Facility
The City of Aurora is taking an innovative approach to prepare for the city's water future. Known as the Prairie Waters Project, the effort is enabling Aurora to maximize its use of water from the South Platte River, and will add to its ability to provide citizens with high- quality, pure drinking water. A key component is the Aurora Reservoir Water Purification Facility, which will use a multistep purification process featuring a Trojan ultraviolet (UV)-oxidation and disinfection system.
White Paper: Ozone
Ozone — a form of the chemical element, oxygen — is a nonspecific and strong oxidant with a wide range of applications. This discussion will focus on environmental applications. Ozone is used in above-ground drinking water, groundwater, and wastewater treatment to kill pathogens (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium) and destroy organic compounds and color.
Brochure: Ultraviolet Disinfection
Calgon Carbon Corporation is one of the world's foremost providers of ultraviolet light (UV) disinfection and oxidation technologies for water. To demonstrate our commitment to these vital technologies, Calgon Carbon has formed a UV Technologies Division devoted exclusively to delivering proven UV water treatment solutions.
