World Congress on Ozone and Ultraviolet Technologies
To an historic event that takes place in August 2007
The International Ozone Association and
International Ultraviolet Association are holding a
Joint World Technical Congress. For the first time ever,
the benefits and synergies of Ozone and Ultraviolet (UV) light
will be discussed and evaluated at a single conference!
Ozone and Ultraviolet technologies are being added to public and private drinking water and wastewater treatment plants to meet ever tightening global regulations to protect public health and the environment. Both technologies bring unique benefits independently or in combined operation, to planning & operations professionals and the public.
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) is completing an $850 million expansion including the addition of ozone at their 5 drinking water treatment plants. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) added ozone to their “multi-barrier” approach to drinking water treatment 20 years ago and continues to enjoy multiple operational and performance benefits including:
+ Bacteria, Virus and Parasite Disinfection
+ Taste and Odor improvement
+ Reduced chemical coagulant usage and solids handling
+ Reduction or elimination of powered activated carbon (PAC)
+ Reduction in chlorinated disinfection byproducts (THM/THAAs
There are many water treatment plants utilizing Ozone and UV processes operating in the western United States. In addition to the Joint World Congress technical program, there will be special “Ozone and UV Operations Forums & Workshops” on 29 and 30 August 2006.
Ozone and UV are also used by many industrial applications including the microelectronics, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals & cosmetics, agriculture, food processing, beverage, bottled water and laundry industries. Additionally, Ozone and UV are used in commercial applications such as decorative water features, zoos & aquariums, air, pools & spa treatment. Yes, Shamu and the other creatures you see at Sea World and other aquariums around the world are protected by the use of ozone and UV technology!
This International Congress will provide technical papers/presentations on global regulations, applications, current research, systems design and operations training.
Ozone, an environmentally friendly oxidizing biocide and UV, a non-chemical treatment process can be used in place of many hazardous chemicals with defined performance, product quality and operational benefits and return on investment.
