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 […]

Advanced Oxidation Process Added to Wastewater Reclaimation System in Southern California
Parsons was selected by the Orange County Water District (OCWD) to provide construction management services for the $128 million Initial Expansion of the Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) in Fountain Valley, CA. Scheduled for completion in 2014, this project will increase the treatment capacity of the GWRS by 31,000 acre-feet per year. GWRS, the largest advanced […]
International Ozone and UV Conference in Paris May 23-27
The 20th World Congress and Exhibition of the International Ozone and International UV Associations is to be held May 23-27 in Paris, France. The technical program has been prepared and will include presentation on Advanced Oxidation, Ozone and UV reactor Design, Industrial Applications of Ozone and UV, Ozone in Agrifood, Ozone and UV Reaction Modeling, […]
The International Joint Commission to Test Advanced Oxidation on the Detroit River
The International Joint Commission (IJC), a cross-border body responsible for investigating and improving the health of the Great Lakes, wants to introduce ozone hydrogen peroxide treatment Windsor Ontario’s Little River Pollution Control Plant to clean waste water of pharmaceuticals, personal care products and pesticides. Those chemicals are commonly found in waterways close to urban centers […]
Ozone and Advanced Oxidation Markets to Grow Strongly
Global Water Intelligence has recently published a study on the water treatment market. The report noted strong growth in ozonation and advanced oxidation water treatment applications. The growth drivers are the need for higher quality water while raw water quality is decreasing, the use of wastewater for applications previously supplied by potable water, and the […]
Ontario Water Treatment Plant Adds Advanced Oxidation
Lorne Park Water Treatment Plant project split into two contracts The Lorne Park Water Treatment Plant on the shores of Lake Ontario is undergoing a $200-million expansion which will increase the plant’s water producing capacity from 347 megalitres per day to 500 ML/d. New planned growth in northwest Brampton and infill development in Mississauga is […]
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 […]
Ozone and Advanced Oxidation Might Destroy Prions
In prion research, decontamination is an important issue. The misfolded prions that cause mad cow and chronic wasting are difficult to destroy by traditional means. According to Dr. Norm Neumann of the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta, experiments with advanced oxidation and ozone treatment may hold some promise. “The pathological disease, […]
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 […]
