North Carolina Water Plant Expands with Ozone
The expansion of the Sweeney Water Treatment Plant in Wilmington is nearing complete. Planning for the project began in 2005. The construction will take the plant from 25 million gallons of treated water per day to a potential 44 million gallons per day. The facility is implementing new filtration systems, including ozone and UV disinfection. […]
Massachusetts Regional Water Authority to Combine Ozone and UV for Disinfection
To meet new federal regulations aimed at reducing gastrointestinal illness from Giardia and Cryptosporidium microbes, the Marlborough plant will use ultraviolet light. The combination of treatments will allow for a reduction in the amount of ozone that is added to the water, which in turn will reduce our ozone operating expenses to offset increased operating […]

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, […]
New Book on Ozone Chemistry in Water and Wastewater Treatment Published
IWA has published a new book International Ozone Association members Clemens von Sonntag and Urs von Gunten. The book will discuss the details of ozone reactions as they relate to micropollutant ( pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fuel additives, solvents, taste and odor compounds, and cyanotoxins) degradation. The book will be useful for those doing research or planning […]
Milwaukee Water Safe With the Help of Ozone Water Treatment
Cryptosporidium has not been detected in Milwaukee’s drinking water coming out of the Linnwood treatment plant on the Lake Michigan shore since 2002 or the Howard Ave. plant on the south side since 1999. Cryptosporidium and Milwaukee made national news 18 years ago this month when the parasite caused the largest epidemic of documented waterborne […]

Yorba Linda to Switch to Ozone Water Treatment as the Primary Disinfectant of Drinking Water
The Diemer Water Treatment Plant in Yorba Linda shut down for a week to prepare for new equipment. The shutdown will allow crews to upgrade the plant so that it can use ozone as the water’s primary disinfectant, rather than chlorine compounds. Substituting ozone for chlorine compounds as the primary disinfectant reduces the potential for […]
Anaheim to Demonstrate Ozone Wastewater Reclamation
The city of Anaheim, California has awarded a municipal water reuse system contract for a demonstration facility that will supply reclaimed water for toilet flushing, irrigation, and recreational use. The project is the first ozone-based technology to be accepted by the California Department of Public Health. Ozone is widely used in a variety of water […]
New Study Suggests UV and Ozone Will Be Fastest Growing Water Disinfectants
According to a recent study by the Freedonia Group, worldwide demand for water disinfection products is projected to grow more than 7% annually through 2014. UV and ozone are expected to grow the fastest. Regulations developed in the US and elsewhere to reduce the threats posed by disinfection byproducts have created opportunities for newer technologies […]
