The SDS water treatment plant, which is being built on 124 acres east of Marksheffel Road between U.S. 24 and Colorado Highway 94, will consist of […]
Unique Ozone Biofilter Technology Developed for the Textile Industry Wastewater Treatment
A new fashion season results in a flood of new fabrics in a variety of colors. With the beauty comes the reality that producing these textiles comes at a cost to the environment as heavy polluting dyes find their way into the textile industry’s wastewater. Anew water clean-up technology, developed as part of an EU-funded […]
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 […]
Treatment of Land Fill Leachates with Ozone and Biological Processes
Land fill leachates are the result of water percolating through solid waste buried at the site. Land fill make provisions to capture this water for treatment. The waste can be a significant challenge to treat because of high content of organic matter, ammonia, salts and metals. Leachates vary due to a variety of factors including […]
