Ozone Biofiltration Enhances Drinking Water Treatment
Biological aerated filters (BAF) use submerged granular media to support biological growth and act as filtration medium, eliminating the need for clarifiers. If aerated, the filter can be used for carbon removal and nitrification. In an unaerated mode and in the presence of sufficient carbon source, this technology provides denitrification. BAF can be installed in […]

New Environmental Remediation Study Highlights the Application of Ozone Water Treatment
A new study by Global Industry Analysts indicates that environmental remediation is a global multi-billion dollar industry. Environment conservation and protection of human health from exposure to contaminated soil, surface water, and groundwater is important for governments around the world. Groundwater contamination is especially important as it causes a major impact on supply of potable […]
Amsterdam Upgrades WTP
Waternet has completed an efficiency upgrade project at a large water treatment works serving Amsterdam. The Waternet facility at Vogelenzang has a daily water treatment capacity of 48 MGD, using a regime comprising pre-screening, carbon filtration, ozone injection and sand filtration. Waternet covers the entire water cycle, from the treatment of waste water and provision […]
Ozone Can Reduce Chemical Use in Citrus Storage and Distribution
Economic losses caused by post harvest diseases are an important problem in citrus plants. Most spoilage in oranges in storage and distribution is caused by penicillium digitatum. Currently this is controlled by the application of synthetic chemical fungicides. These compounds have environmental impact and their use may be reduced in the future by regulation. Juice […]
