Drinking Water Disinfection Innovations and Solutions, Breaking Drinking Water Disinfection News

New Technologies Set To 'Disrupt' The Industry

Ohio Water Plant Finds Effective Alternative To Chlorine Gas

For many years, Huber Heights, OH, searched for an effective and affordable way to eliminate gaseous chlorine (Cl2) use at its 4.46 MGD Needmore Road Water Treatment Plant. An innovative dry calcium hypochlorite makeup and delivery system now provides a safer disinfection method for operators and the community.

No Wizardry In ‘Emerald City’s’ Dramatic Water Quality Improvement
With the installation of a new disinfection system featuring on-site sodium hypochlorite generation, a water treatment plant improved water quality and significantly reduced total trihalomethanes and haloacetic acid levels. By Ali Giti
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
General Electrochemistry
All chemical processes involve the loss, gain, or redistribution of electrons on an atom or group of atoms. Electricity is the movement of electrons along a conductor. It is no wonder then that chemical changes can be made to occur by passing an electric current through a solution containing atoms or groups of atoms which will accept or give up electrons. Processes which pass an electrical current through a solution to effect chemical changes are called electrochemical processes. By PEPCON Systems

Surface Water Treatment - Cudahy, Wisconsin (Case Study)
In 1993, a Cryptosporidium outbreak struck the city of Milwaukee, resulting in more than 400,000 illnesses and the deaths of 100 people.
OSG- On-Site Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) For Drinking Water Applications
Drinking water treatment plants use various forms of chlorine to inactivate pathogens, oxidize metals or metalloids and provide disinfection residual for distribution systems. By Glen Smith, PEPCON Systems
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.
Water Plant Applies Colorimetric Chlorine Analyzer To Accurately Measure Proper Chloramination
The North Shore Water Commission located in Glendale Wisconsin is a conventional water treatment facility that receives its influent from Lake Michigan. At the intake, chemical treatment is applied for mussel control and the water is pumped to the treatment plant 1 mile away. By Kevin Forsman
Veolia ACTIFLO Case Study: Somersworth, NH
The City of Somersworth has a historical background dating back to the early 1900s when it became the first community to start using chlorine to disinfect it’s drinking water. By Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies
