UV Wastewater Disinfection At Its Best

UV Wastewater Disinfection At Its Best

Xylem's WEDECO brand has developed a new open-channel ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system that delivers clean, safe, treated wastewater of the highest standard using a minimum of energy. The WEDECO Duron UV system eliminates the need for chemical-based disinfection, as well as delivering lower operating and maintenance costs. Another key benefit is its small footprint.

5 Keys To Ozone Disinfection Success
By Thoram Charanda, Chief Scientist, Guardian Research & Development Labs, and Louis LeBrun, PE, Vice President, Pinnacle Ozone Solutions, LLC
Ozone disinfection of water has been a common practice for nearly 100 years. Although there have been many improvements in ozone technology over the years, the basics principals hold the biggest keys towards the success of your installation. Provided here is a list of the five most important factors you should consider when embarking on any ozone disinfection project.


Monochloramine Monitoring: Reliable Analysis, Safer Drinking Water
By Randy Turner, Technical Director, Swan Analytical USA
Chloramines are less aggressive disinfectants that react more slowly than chlorine, but they remain longer in the distribution system. Given more stringent disinfection byproduct (DBP) regulations, chloramination can be an appealing alternative to the use of free chlorine as a means of limiting DBP formation, particularly trihalomethanes (THMs). Chloramine is a general term that describes three related compounds, including monochloramine — the preferred chloramine compound for drinking water disinfection.


Rainwater For Reuse As Drinking Water
By UV Pure Technologies
When McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, built their new Engineering Technology Building, they used the latest state-of-the-art technology not only to achieve LEED Gold certification, but also to create a living laboratory to train students on the building systems of the future.


Energy-Efficient And Low-Maintenance UV Solutions Have Favorable Impact
By TrojanUV
Favorable reviews of UV technology in wastewater applications influenced Tianjin Economic Development Area (TEDA) Water Supply General Company to investigate the potential of using UV for drinking water applications at one of its water treatment plants. With no previous UV installations for drinking water disinfection in China, TEDA's process of selecting a UV manufacturer was stringent.

Reducing Emerging Contaminants In The Water Cycle By Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP)
By Ron Port, Xylem Inc.
Due to the development of analytical methods and instruments in the past few years, pollutants which had not been detectable in our drinking water sources have now become visible. They are anthropogenic and persistent substances in the water cycle, which conventional treatment methods are not able to remove. Efficient barriers, particularly for shortened recycle loops for potable water production, are needed.
