Future-proof your operations with safe and sustainable disinfection now! Watch this on-demand webinar to learn about Kemira’s efficient, safe and sustainable disinfection solution using performic acid – an emerging method with low capital investment and energy needs.
When treated wastewater is released back into waterways in recreational areas used for swimming and bathing activities, basic treatment is not enough. An additional disinfection step is needed in order to meet the required quality levels, and protect people from harmful bacteria such as E.coli or Enterococci. The creation of toxic by-products must be avoided to save the environment.
Furthermore, sewer overflows caused by more frequent heavy rain events, must be treated to mitigate the environmental impact. On the other hand water scarcity forces industries and utilities to recycle water in a safe and efficient way for agricultural irrigation or other industrial processes.
Wastewater can be disinfected and reused using various methods, some of them chemical, such as with chlorine, and some physical, such as irradiation with ultraviolet (UV) light. Both these approaches have their drawbacks, however. By-products from chlorine-based disinfection can be discharged with the effluent and impact ecosystems and downstream drinking water quality, while UV irradiation involves an expensive equipment setup and consumes a significant amount of energy.
Kemira´s performic acid-based solution, KemConnectTM DEX, can be used to treat all kinds of water, from raw water, industrial and urban wastewater, to sewer overflows.
More and more wastewater treatment plants and water-intensive industries choose performic acid as the preferred disinfection solution, to ensure regulatory compliance while optimizing overall process efficiency and stable performance, even under constantly changing conditions.
Watch this free on-demand webinar to find out how performic acid allows you to comply with tight regulations and protect the environment with an award-winning solution. We will present customer case studies from major municipalities who manage to secure safe bathing waters, treat stormwater to mitigate the environmental impact of combined sewer overflows, and exceed quality requirements for safe and sustainable water reuse.
