Tokyo Wastewater Reclamation Process uses Ozone and Microfiltration
The Japan ozone Association in conjunction with the Water Re-Use Promotion Center, the Japan Water Works Association and the Japan Industrial Water Association held a seminar cover various issues related to ozone in water treatment with a focus on water reuse. A highlight of the meeting was a tour of a water reclamation projection where […]
Temple University Researcher Studies Ozone UV Water Treatment
Temple environmental engineering professor Rominder Suri, Ph.D. is developing new water treatment techniques. With the help of a grant from the National Science Foundation, Suri works in Temple’s Water and Environmental Technology Center searching for alternative water purification methods. One such method involves the use of Ozone gas and ultraviolet light to destroy foreign contaminates. […]
Advanced Oxidation Process Demonstrates Taste and Odor Improvment in Va Drinking Water
Virginia American Water conducted a small-scale plant trial that used advanced oxidation, ultraviolet light and hydrogen peroxide to remove the taste and odor-causing compounds in the Appomattox River source water. The plant trial demonstrated that this method efficiently and effectively removed the compounds, even at high levels. Because of record temperatures of the 2010 summer, […]
University of Alberta Reasearchers Show that Ozone can Decontaminate Prions in Water
A University of Alberta (U of A) research team has found that ozonation can help meat processing plants eliminate the lethal microbial material responsible for Mad Cow disease. U of A microbiology professors Mike Belosevic and Norm Neumann and engineering professor Mohamed Gamal El-Din demonstrated that infectious proteins, prions, found in the brain matter of […]
San Diego Uses Advanced Oxidation to Recycle Wastewater
In summer 2011, the City of San Diego opened the Advanced Water Purification (AWP) Facility, a small-scale, state-of-the-art facility that purifies one MGD of recycled water. The facility is one component of the City’s Water Purification Demonstration Project that is examining the safety and cost of purifying recycled water. San Diego is examining water purification […]
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 […]
The Global Market for Ozone Technology Growing at Nearly 7% per Year
BCC Research has recently completed a technology market research report that provides an in-depth analysis of the global market for ozone technology across a range of applications. Key findings in the study are: 1. The global market for ozone technology is expected to grow to $838 million in 2016, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) […]
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 […]
