The AOP solution from ITT and Air Products and Chemicals will remove endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC) which result from the use of pharmaceuticals and personal care products. The AOP solution is also capable of killing pathogens and mitigating bromate formation as a carcinogenic by-product. The system will treat 30 million gallons of water per day at the Wichita surface water treatment plant in Kansas.
WEDECO PDO Series ozone generators were selected for this project, with each unit producing 2,100 pounds of ozone per day. This system comes completely mounted and instrumented and uses WEDECO EFFIZON HP electrodes and variable frequency power supply technology.
Shaun Porter, water industry specialist at Air Products said: “We are extremely pleased with our arrangement with ITT to provide a cost-effective contaminant removal solution. The Halia advanced oxidation system can help meet disinfection requirements while also destroying trace contaminants and minimizing the formation of by-products, such as bromate, making it ideal for drinking water applications, as well as water reuse and process water clean-up.”
