GENAQ: Pure water thanks to its exhaustive treatment
GENAQ atmospheric water generators take in ambient air, filter it and extract its moisture. Once the water is extracted by condensation, it is specially treated to obtain the highest quality water at the lowest energy cost. One of the main characteristics that make GENAQ’s atmospheric water generators superior is the quality of the water generated. Equally important is generating ...

Effect of ion (Al, Fe and Zn) co-doped TiO2 nanotubes on photocatalytic degradation of humic acids under UV/ozonation for drinking water purification
O3/UV/TiO2 was used to effectively decompose humic acids (HAs) in drinking water. A series of Al-doped, Fe-doped, Zn-doped and co-doped TiO2 nanotubes were successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method. According to the characterization of ion-doped TiO2 nanotubes, Al3+ and Fe3+ ions occupied substitutional positions in the crystal lattice, and Zn2+ ions were partially dispersed in the ...

Fifteen years of experience with standardized reference radiometers for controlling low-pressure UV disinfection plants for drinking water
The only practicable way to control the disinfection capability of a UV disinfection plant for drinking water all the time is to use a UV radiometer. According to the Austrian Standard M5873, this plant radiometer is a standardized part of each plant. The standard defines a so-called reference radiometer (RRM) as well. This is necessary because a plant radiometer has to be controlled ...

Spectral distribution of uv light during aging of medium pressure UV lamps
As part of a project to validate a UV reactor for disinfection of drinking water, the germicidal output of four medium pressure lamps housed in a continuously operating reactor was followed as a function of time. Spectra were measured monthly and were used in conjunction with radiometer readings to calculate germicidal fluence rates (using DNA absorbance weighting) at the radiometer sensor ...

Method to determine the power efficiency of UV disinfection plants and its application to low pressure plants for drinking water
In this paper we present a method to determine the power efficiency of ultraviolet (UV) disinfection plants and apply this to low pressure plants for drinking water. In UV disinfection plants the water flow is regulated to ensure that microorganisms receive the necessary fluence for inactivation while passing through. The flow depends on the UV transmission (UVT) of the water. The lower the ...

Fundamentals of Catalytic Activated Carbons
Untitled Document Summary: Catalysts in water treatment speed chemical reactions so equipment can be scaled down or contact times shortened. Because the speed of a reaction can affect equipment price or useful life, it could mean the difference between a sale and a "no, thanks." Thus, recently developed catalytic activated carbons may enable water treatment ...

Potential Repair of Escherichia coli DNA following Exposure to UV Radiation from Both Medium- and Low-Pressure UV Sources Used in Drinking Water Treatment
The increased use of UV radiation as a drinking water treatment technology has instigated studies of the repair potential of microorganisms following treatment. This study challenged the repair potential of an optimally grown nonpathogenic laboratory strain of Escherichia coli after UV radiation from low- and mediumpressure lamps. Samples were irradiated with doses of 5, 8, and 10 mJ/cm2 from a ...

Anglian water Cryptosoridium outbreak - Case Study
Pitsford Drinking Water Site, England In June 2008, a rabbit was located in the wash water tank at the Pitsford Drinking Water Plant of Anglian Water, leading to contamination of the treatment works with Cryptosporidum, a chlorine resistant parasitic micro-organism. The parasite was detected on June 24 and, following consultation with health and local authorities, a notice to boil drinking water ...

Effect of granular activated carbon type and age on quenching H2O2 residuals after UV/H2O2 drinking water treatment
Granular activated carbon (GAC) can be used to quench residual hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) after ultraviolet (UV)-H2O2 advanced oxidation processes in drinking water treatment. Bench- and pilot-scale studies examined the possible loss of GAC reactivity due to continuous exposure to natural water from a water treatment plant in both the presence and absence of H2O2. Six common types of GAC were ...

Removal and degradation of glyphosate in water treatment: a review
Glyphosate is a broad spectrum, non-selective herbicide, widely used for the post-emergence control of annual and perennial weeds in a variety of applications. Although of low toxicity, its presence in drinking water is undesirable and can cause drinking water compliance failure in the EU if found at concentrations >0.1 μg L−1. Treatment methods such as ozonation and ...
