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 […]
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 […]
