Xylem to provide breakthrough water reuse AOP technology for indirect potable reuse
On
Xylem’s Wedeco MiPRO photo AOP solution will be installed as a final barrier against pathogens and contaminants that cannot be removed by other technologies. The MiPRO photo system is part of an expansion of the plant at the Advanced Water Purification Facility, which includes microfiltration and reverse osmosis prior to AOP. The customized solution, validated through extensive pilot-scale testing at the plant, will be the first greenfield AOP design using ultraviolet (UV) light with chlorine for indirect potable reuse.
The Terminal Island Water Reclamation Plant treats wastewater from more
than 100 businesses in the heavily industrialized
“This application of UV with chlorine as an AOP process is a significant breakthrough in treatment to make water reuse more sustainable and cost-effective,” said Keel Robinson, North America Water Reuse Leader for Xylem. “The use of UV with chlorine for AOP will enable the Terminal Island Water Reclamation Plant to utilize their existing chlorination facility without having to add any new chemicals, and it will significantly reduce the life-cycle cost relative to the other types of AOP, such as UV with hydrogen peroxide.”
Los Angeles Sanitation (http://san.lacity.org/) is the owner and operator of the Terminal Island Water Reclamation Plant that will provide 12 million gallons per day of highly, purified water for beneficial use to reduce dependency on imported potable water supplies. Construction for the second phase expansion will begin in 2015 with operation expected to commence in 2017.
"Los Angeles Sanitation is pleased to partner with Xylem as we continue
to identify ways to increase recycled water capacity at our water
reclamation plants. This effort will allow us to contribute more to
groundwater recharge in the face of a historic drought," commented
Additionally, Xylem will be supplying a Sanitaire aeration system to the Terminal Island Water Reclamation Plant for enhancing the performance of the existing wastewater biological treatment system. The Sanitaire fine bubble aeration grids will consist of Silver Series II membrane disc diffusers and ceramic disc diffusers to enhance oxygen transfer, reduce energy costs, and improve the quality of the water feeding the Advanced Water Purification Facility. Xylem has now provided fine bubble diffused aeration to all the Los Angeles Sanitation’s wastewater treatment plants.
