IMPECCABLE MUNICIPAL WATER TREATMENT SOLUTIONS

With the acceleration in water shortages across many regions in the U.S., wastewater is now becoming an important resource that needs to be recycled and reused. UV and filter products are now widely adopted in the water treatment and recycling industry.

Filters and UV systems play an important role in municipal water treatment. With industry regulations becoming extremely stringent, the growing threat of chemically tolerant microorganisms, and increasing governmental and media interests, it is important to choose a company you trust. 

Contact the skilled professionals at Aqua-Chem Inc to help you with all your municipal water treatment needs. 

DRINKING WATER

Drinking water plants are under constant pressure to do more with less water. Drinking water quality can never be compromised; thus, high-performance UV systems and filters are used for treating the water. These processes are typically validated by an independent third party and approved by a range of approval agencies such as NSF.

Many microorganisms such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium are very tolerant to traditional chemicals such as chlorine. UV is widely used to safely disinfect the water. This also prevents the formation of disinfection by-products (DBP’S) that are usually created when high levels of chemicals are used. 

Applications
  • Surface water
  • Groundwater
  • Well water

WASTEWATER

Wastewater treatment is the process of decontaminating wastewater, including household sewage and runoff. The treatment includes processes to remove physical, biological, and chemical contaminants.

Initially, municipal wastewater was disinfected with the usage of chlorine. With the advancement in technology, the potential for carcinogenicity was exposed and UV disinfection gradually replaced the use of chemicals. The earlier UV systems utilized racks of lamps immersed in an open channel. These open, gravity flow channels suffered from many disadvantages: very large footprint, poor hydraulic mixing, vulnerability to fluctuations in flow rate, and expensive to build.

All the products we provide are excellently designed to fit into a pipe, and our professionals will be pleased to demonstrate how chlorine contact tanks can be retrofitted with a closed vessel UV system.

Applications
  • Recovery and reuse
  • Advanced oxidation
  • Industrial reclamation

WATER REUSE

Due to the critical shortage of fresh water, the Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) ensures that treated wastewater is widely used for agricultural irrigation, dust suppression, and urinal flushing. Reused water is injected into the ground in many of the US coastal regions and is called Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR). This helps in prevention of saline incursion into freshwater aquifers and increases underground water for future consumption.

Applications
  • Irrigation
  • Direct injection aquifer
  • Urinal flushing
  • Dust suppression
