Drinking Water Disinfection Podcasts

1. Getting Chlorine Disinfection Right 11/1/2017

   Of all the process considerations facing wastewater treatment operators, disinfection is one of the most important. In this exclusive Water Talk interview, Gary Lohse, Technical Sales Manager, Disinfection with De Nora Water Technologies, discusses how disinfection has become increasingly complex over time. Lohse reviews a host of selection criteria including target microorganisms, control strategies, disinfection by-products, capex and safety.

2. The Evolution Of Low-Energy UV Disinfection 8/13/2014

   Conventional ultraviolet (UV) disinfection is a great, but often expensive, solution for the destruction of pathogens in drinking water. All those lamps and power emissions add up. But what if you could perform the same job with 1/10 of the power used by conventional systems?

3. Making Aftermarket Service And Support Work For Water And Wastewater Treatment Plants 11/11/2015

   As municipalities look to make their water and wastewater treatment equipment run longer with fewer operational staff on payroll to maintain the equipment, having a reliable aftermarket parts and service provider becomes essential.

4. Let’s Talk Adenovirus With TrojanUV (Audio) 7/11/2012

   Adam Festger, Drinking Water & Environmental Contaminant Treatment market manager for TrojanUV, sat down with Water Online Radio to discuss UV trends and technologies. Hear all about TrojanUV’s “Let’s Talk Adenovirus” campaign, as well as the company’s growing installation base and recent product developments.

5. Ozonia M and FiltraFast Provide New Options For Treatment Facilities 11/20/2017

   If you don’t need the performance of an ultrafiltration membrane but also want to avoid the large footprint of a conventional media filter, you might want to consider FiltraFast extreme rate compressible media filters. As Ryan Hess, Director of Advanced Separation with SUEZ Water Technologies suggests in this Water Talk interview, “They provide roughly ten times the hydraulic loading rate of conventional media filters.”

6. Experience Pays Off For Gas Injection 7/10/2017

   When it comes to gas injection, it pays to work with an experienced manufacturer that has lived the ups and downs of moving from pilots to full-scale plants. A number of years ago, Mazzei Injector Company ran into an issue where the engineer had specified a system at 2 psi of water pressure.

7. Polymer Activation And Onsite Hypochlorite Generation 11/3/2016

   Polymer activation through proper hydration of the polymer particle is critical in water clarification or sludge dewatering applications. According to Jeff Rhodes, Vice President of Commercial Development for UGSI Solutions, “the key is to have a high energy zone at the moment of initial welding, when the polymer and the water come together.”

8. UV-LED Technology: The Latest In Disinfection 1/16/2014

   Dan Shaver, Business Development Manager at Aquionics, talks about the advantages of UV-LED technology for disinfection: low energy requirements, chemical-free and customizable design, and proficiency in solar or battery-powered applications.

9. Real-Time Data Solutions To Identify A Stubborn Disinfection Byproduct Threat 7/8/2019

   When it comes to trihalomethanes, the disinfection byproducts also known as THMs, a range of methods are available for their removal from water as well as avoiding their creation altogether. While sophisticated, those solutions offer little or no insight into the process. In this Water Talk interview, Rick Bacon, CEO of Aqua Metrology Systems, and Cliff Tormaschy, CEO of Medora Corp., discuss the use of real-time data to identify THM threats and diagnose critical treatment system performance.

10. UVT-LED Sheds Light On UV Disinfection 10/28/2015

    Learn why measuring UV transmittance is so important to efficient disinfection, and how LED helps get you there.
