Key Benefits of HydroTreat™

Municipal water plants adopting HydroTreat™ experience a range of transformative benefits:

  • Enhanced Contaminant Removal: Effectively lowers Total Organic Carbon (TOC), disinfection by-products (DBPs) such as THMs and HAA5s, and harmful algal blooms (HABs).
  • Improved Coagulation and Flocculation: Boosts the efficiency of settling and filtration processes.
  • Energy Efficiency: Reduces the operational demand on ozone systems by up to 60%.
  • Biofilm and Algae Control: Eliminates biofilm formation in distribution systems.
  • Compliance with Regulations:Exceeds NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 standards and ensures adherence to EPA guidelines for water safety.

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) Technology

HydroTreat™ operates through the generation of hydroxyl radicals (OH-) and other reactive oxygen species, which:

  • Neutralize organic and inorganic contaminants rapidly.
  • Break down pathogens and harmful compounds into harmless by-products.
  • Minimize the formation of bromates and other DBPs.

Applications in Municipal Water Treatment

HydroTreat™ is versatile and highly effective in various aspects of municipal water treatment:

  • Primary Disinfection:
    • Reduces reliance on chlorine and other traditional disinfectants.
    • Lowers the production of chlorinated by-products, enhancing water safety.
  • Taste and Odor Control:
    • Eliminates compounds causing unpleasant taste and odor.
    • Improves consumer satisfaction with municipal water.
  • Algal Bloom Mitigation:
    • Controls harmful algal blooms in source water.
    • Reduces cyanotoxin levels, protecting public health.
  • Enhanced Coagulation:
    • Works synergistically with existing coagulants and flocculants.
    • Improves turbidity removal, resulting in clearer water.

Proven Performance

Case studies from municipal water plants demonstrate HydroTreat™’s impact:

  • Reduction of Turbidity: Settled water turbidity decreased by 70%, enhancing filtration efficiency.
  • Lower Bromate Levels: Achieved a reduction of bromate concentrations by nearly 80%, ensuring regulatory compliance.
  • Improved TOC Removal: Achieved 70% TOC removal compared to 52% with conventional methods.
  • Elimination of TTHMs and HAA5s: Reduced TTHMs by 56% and eliminated detectable levels of HAA5s.

Efficiency and Cost Savings

HydroTreat™ reduces operational costs by improving system efficiency and minimizing chemical use:

  • Energy Savings: Cuts energy consumption in ozone systems by 50-60%.
  • Lower Chemical Costs: Reduces the need for traditional coagulants, flocculants, and disinfectants.
  • Reduced Maintenance: Prevents biofilm buildup, extending the lifespan of distribution systems.
