WASTEWATER DISINFECTION RESOURCES

WASTEWATER DISINFECTION SOLUTIONS

  • Capital Controls® CHLOR-A-VAC® Series 1520 Chemical Industion Unit

    The Series 1520 CHLOR-A-VAC® affords high efficiency addition and mixing of gases and liquid chemicals resulting in substantial chemical cost savings.

  • High Speed CSO Filtration System

    As measures of improving the combined sewer system, this high rate filtration system filters the rain water, which flowed directly to the river before, by using our original filter media. This new treatment system can be installed in the existed facilities and supplies stable filtrations for rainfall flow fluctuation.

  • EST Dry Emergency Gas Scrubber Systems

    De Nora Water Technologies’ EST dry emergency scrubbers are engineered to meet national codes for the mitigation of hazardous gas releases from pressurized 150-pound cylinders and one-ton containers of chlorine, sulfur dioxide, ammonia and other toxic gases.

  • Microbial Control In Cheese Making

    Microbial contamination of food and beverage products is a potentially catastrophic occurrence resulting in foodborne illness or food spoilage. The same nutritive properties that render cheese and dairy products such a valuable food also provide an ideal growth medium for microbes if contamination occurs.

  • Model 4200-EC Gas Vacuum Feeder Controller

    The JCS Industries Model 4200EC Gas Vacuum Chemical Feeder mixes and feeds gaseous chemicals commonly used for water and wastewater disinfection accurately, reliably and safely. The system is comprised of a vacuum injector to safely introduce the gas into the feed-water stream, a reversing servo motor coupled with a V-notch valve to regulate the chemical flow rate, and a control module for complete electronic control and communications.

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.
