Korean Drinking Water Plant Purchases First Advanced Oxidation Treatment Process
A municipal drinking water system in a new high-tech industrial zone in South Korea has contracted for an ultraviolet (UV) advanced oxidation process (AOP) treatment technology. This is the firts time such a technology will be applied in Korea for drinking water. The water treatment facility will treat more than 26 million gallons per day, […]
Ozone and Advanced Oxidation Find Opportunities in Fracking Water Treatment
Fracking has created a large application for various water treatment technologies such as ozone and advanced oxidation processes. Both processes have been used to either breakdown organic contaminants in the water, remove Fe and other minerals or for disinfection of the water prior to injection. An advantage of ozone based processes is that the ozone […]
Ontario Studies Advanced Oxidation for Wastewater Treatment
Ontario is investing in innovative solutions to help protect Great Lakes water quality. The Keswick Water Pollution Control Plant is testing an advanced oxidation process to reduce the amount of phosphorus and micro pollutants such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products entering Lake Simcoe. Advanced oxidation processes have been demonstrated to remove pharmaceutical and personal […]
Orange County Reclamation Project a Model for the World
Water Factory 21 (WF21), Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD), was dedicated in a 1977 and transforms secondary municipal wastewater into water that exceeds drinking water standards. In 1991, the Orange County Water District (OCWD) was granted a California Department of Health Services permit to inject 100 percent reclaimed wastewater into a potable water aquifer without […]
