WASTEWATER DISINFECTION SOLUTIONS

  • PhotonMaster™ Luminometer

    Reliable data starts with a reliable device. Generate your data from the PhotonMaster, a luminometer that is sensitive enough for the cleanest sample, robust enough for the toughest testing environment, and cost-friendly for any budget.

  • TurboCoag System For Chemical-Free Water Purification

    Avivid's patented electrocoagulation system is a chemical-free and cost-effective water treatment solution. This wastewater treatment technology meets the demands of customers that need to reduce pollution abatement costs, comply with EPA regulations, and reduce water consumption/waste in response to the growing demand in the water market and diminishing clean water resources.

  • UV Technology Offers Solution For Emerging Water Crisis

    Many are turning to UV as an effective barrier to enable the reuse of wastewater, for indirect reuse, and aquifer recharge.

  • OSEC®L On-Site Hypochlorite Generation System

    The OSEC® L system is a fully automated and pre-packaged low-capacity On-Site Hypochlorite generating system that creates <1% sodium hypochlorite solution based on disposable bipolar electrode technology.

  • Disinfection

    As the final step before treated wastewater leaves the plant, effective disinfection is extremely important to protect human health, and the maintenance of the environment. This process eliminates pathogenic organisms that cannot be removed by previous treatment steps and reduces the spread of pathogens in the natural ecosystem.

    USP’s current offerings include our unrivaled in-house CFD modeling expertise that can be used to optimize the injection, mixing and feed rates of PAA to meet the disinfection requirements of a facility. Also, launching later this year, is our OaSys iCT™ is a novel control approach that optimizes disinfection performance by calculating the optimal chemical dosage that accounts for sources of treatment variability in real time. Available for use with PAA or chlorine.

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.
