WASTEWATER DISINFECTION SOLUTIONS

  • NeoTech CU-4 X™

    The NeoTech CU4-X™ UV Water Treatment Control Interface is a remote and compact master controller capable of managing up to four NeoTech ultraviolet water treatment chambers independently and simultaneously.

  • Constant Chlor® MC5 Feeder

    The Constant Chlor® MC5 Feeder system provides reliable chlorine solutions for water treatment plants, waste water plants and water reclamation facilities. The Constant Chlor® system consistently delivers liquid available chlorine for disinfection applications that kills bacteria, controls algae and removes organic contaminants. The feeders use EPA registered Constant Chlor® Briquettes that work in conjunction with the feeder to produce a fresh concentrated liquid chlorine solution for clean, clear, sanitized water. Treats facilities with up to 10 MGD ranging from a minimum of 5 lbs a day available chlorine to 83 lbs a day available chlorine.

  • EST™ Wet Odor Control Scrubber Systems

    De Nora Water Technologies - EST WET ODOR CONTROL SCRUBBERS are engineered to treat malodorous gases emanating from municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities.

  • Pipeline Flash Reactor Plus (PFR+)

    Today’s high dosage ozone systems, such as those required by water reuse projects, place extraordinary energy and mixing demands on ozone mass transfer. Mazzei utilized multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses to develop the new PFR+ to address these challenges.

  • ETS-UV™ For Wastewater Treatment

    Many municipalities had adopted ultraviolet (UV) disinfection treatment over chemical based disinfection.  UV disinfection is efficient, low cost and an environmentally friendly way to disinfect water.  The process is safer for operators and the community; UV is a chemical free process that adds nothing to the water but light.  Read more about how the UV disinfection works.  Unlike chlorine, UV disinfection is able to inactivate pathogens such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium.  Discharged wastewater with these pathogens becomes dangerous drinking and recreational water for downstream communities.

ABOUT WASTEWATER DISINFECTION

 

Wastewater disinfection takes place after primary, secondary and sometimes tertiary wastewater treatment. It is typically a final step to remove organisms from the treated water before the effluent is released back into the water system. Disinfection prevents the spread of waterborne diseases by reducing microbes and bacterial numbers to a regulated level.

A variety of physical and chemical methods are used to disinfect wastewater prior to it being released into natural waterways. Historically, the chemical agent of choice for municipal wastewater treatment has been chlorine, due to its disinfecting properties and low cost. However, the rising cost of chlorine and concerns that low chlorine concentrations can still be toxic to fish and other wildlife, has given rise to more physical methods of wastewater disinfection being adopted such as ozonation or ultraviolet (UV) light.  

The use of ozone as a disinfection agent has the added benefit of increasing the dissolved oxygen content of the treated wastewater. However, because the ozone has to be generated, ozonation can require prohibitive up-front capital expenditure compared to traditional chlorination. UV disinfection has been growing in popularity as a wastewater disinfection method, in large part because of the life-cycle economics of the equipment and the fact that, like ozone, there is no toxic residual.
