New Technologies Set To 'Disrupt' The Industry

Drinking Water Disinfection: Tianjin, China (Case Study)

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 the country, TEDA's process of selecting a UV manufacturer was stringent. We are honored that they chose us and our TrojanUVSwift™ system.

UV Disinfection In The Developing World
Clean water is essential for life. Nearly one billion people around the world lack access to safe water and approximately 3.5 million deaths each year are linked to waterrelated diseases. By Real Tech
ClorTec Hickory Case Study The use of gaseous chlorine at water treatment plants has, for many years, been an effective method of disinfection. It is still the most commonly used disinfectant in plants throughout the United States.
GAC Solution For Ohio's Most Challenging Water
Over the course of many years the City of Celina, Ohio has been challenged with supplying drinking water to the 11,647 residents of the city and the East Jefferson District.
The Role Of UV In Solving Next-Generation Water Challenges
The global market for water treatment technologies is growing and becoming increasingly important as the quality and quantity of freshwater sources are stressed and the link between fresh water sources and wastewater — returned to the environment — is more and more obvious. By Rick VanSant, President & CEO, UV Pure Technologies, Inc.
ORP Based Measurement Of Oxidizing Disinfectants In Aqueous Solutions
Oxidizing antimicrobials, such as chlorine, are common disinfectants used to treat water. Test strips, DPD kits, and colorimeters are currently the most popular methods for determining the relative disinfecting power of oxidizing antimicrobial agents in these applications. By Myron L Company
On-Site Disinfection Helps Ensure Safety At British Columbia Water Treatment Facility
Constructed in 1997, the District of Chetwynd Water Treatment Plant (British Columbia, Canada) treats nearly 2,500 cubic meters of water per day using gas chlorination as its primary form of drinking water disinfection
Multi-Barrier Disinfection Strategy - New York City (Case Study)
New York City is home to more than 8 million people, making it the most populous city in the United States. The majority of New York's drinking water is supplied by the Catskill/Delaware watershed, located approximately 100 miles outside the city. Historically, NYC has not filtered the water from this system, nor did they require any additional barriers to microbial contaminants due to the pristine nature of the watershed.
A Rosemount Chlorine Analyzer Proves Just The Job For Seawater Duty At Dow's Terneuzen Site
The Dow Benelux site in Terneuzen, the Netherlands, uses seawater for process cooling. Environmental regulations require careful control of the concentration of chlorine added to control microbial fouling. The existing chlorine measurement system had become outdated, so after stringent tests Dow decided to replace it with a Rosemount Analytical Model TCL analyzer from Emerson Process Management. By Emerson Process Management, Rosemount Analytical
Case Study: Newport News Uses Emerson Ozone Instrumentation For Safe, Effective Disinfection
Maintaining the quality of the water supply is the top priority for municipal drinking water treatment plants across the country. Water plants use several treatment processes to ensure water quality and safety, and these treatment steps include disinfection. Traditionally, chlorine is used in both primary and secondary disinfection treatments and has been used since 1908. Some water plants are moving to ozone for primary disinfection. One water utility that is taking this direction is Newport News Waterworks.
UV Experience For Inactivating Cryptosporidium In Surface Water Plants
The disinfection of pathogenic microbes in drinking water has been successful over the last century largely due to the use of chlorination. However, research conducted in the 1970’s revealed that by-products formed during the chlorination process are potentially carcinogenic. Since then, drinking water regulators have struggled within the confines of technological and economic limitations to find a balance between the benefits of chlorination and its harmful side effects.
Hydrogen Safety In ClorTec® Hypochlorite Generators
Severn Trent Services’ ClorTec® on-site hypochlorite generating systems range in capacity from 6 to 3,000+ lb/day (2.7 to 1,360+ kg/day). They generate a 0.8% sodium hypochlorite solution by combining three common consumables: salt, water, and electricity, to produce a chlorine equivalent
On-Site Chlorine Generation Replaces Conventional Chlorine Gas Feed System In Scottsdale AZ
To eliminate the risks involved with transporting chlorine gas throughout the community, Scottsdale's Central Groundwater Threatment Facility was converted to on-site chlorine generation. This case study discusses the rehabilitation project including the provision of water to the community during the four-month period between the old chlorination system being taken off-line and the new equipment being fully operational.

Engineering For Safe Chlorine Disinfection

For more than 75 years chlorine has been effectively used to disinfect drinking water, eliminating dangerous bacteria and toxic compounds. Water supply engineers and treatment facility operators are used to necessary risks and problems associated with chlorine disinfection in order to deliver safe water. By Harland R. Pond, Product Manager; Grundfos
