Cottonwood, AZ is planning on using reclaimed wastewater as a drinking water source sometime in the next15 or 20 years. The city plans to build an $8 million, wastewater treatment plant capable of removing many trace synthetic compounds via advanced oxidation using ozone and hydrogen peroxide. The focus is on pharmaceuticals which have recently become […]

International Ozone Association Meeting in Toronto September 18-21
International Ozone Association meeting will be held in Toronto September 18-21. This meeting offers an informative technical program covering ozone and UV application with regard to the following subjects: disinfection and disinfection byproducts, UV validation and monitoring, advanced oxidation processes, ozone in drinking water, ozone in wastewater, and applications of ozone in food processing. Tours […]
Sucralose, an Artificial Sweetner, Found in Surface Water
Sucralose, the artificial sweetener in Splenda, passes right through the body, then through sewage treatment systems and out into surface and ground waters with little degradation. It is not clear if increasing amount of of sucralose released into the environment will impact the ecosystem. But research published in Environmental Engineering Science shows that the artificial […]
Ozone Peroxide Advanced Oxidation Removes 1,4 Dioxane
Tokyo, Japan — Teijin Limited announced today that an advanced oxidation process has proven its effectiveness in decomposing 1,4-dioxane, a highly persistent organic solvent. With the Japanese government now considering the introduction of 1,4-dioxane discharge regulations, Teijin’s system could have promising applications in the Japanese market and beyond. The process combines ozone and hydrogen peroxide […]
New Reports from the WateReuse Research Foundation on Advanced Oxidation
The following reports have been recently published by the WateReuse Research Foundation: Low Cost Treatment Technologies for Small Scale Water Reclamation Plants (WRF-06-008) This study identifies and evaluates established and innovative technologies that provide treatment of flows of less than one million gallons per day. The report includes an extensive cost database, where the cost […]
City Of Wichita Treat to Surface Water For Reuse Using Advanced Oxidation Technology
An advanced oxidation system has been selected by the City of Wichita, Kans., for a crucial step in the process of treating excess water flow from the Little Arkansas River for aquifer storage and future reuse. The system will treat 30 million gallons of surface water per day using the ozone/peroxide advanced oxidation process (AOP)—to […]
ESCO International Demonstrates High Performance Advanced Oxidation Processes for TOC and COD Reduction
The combination of state-of-the-art UV and ozone technologies with additional oxidant and catalytic process steps as well as extensive pilot trials helped ESCO International design innovative advanced oxidation processes that can be extended to new challenging fields such as TOC (total organic carbon) reduction which were previously thought to be unworkable and uneconomical. ESCO International […]
