Advanced bulk water market to reach $881 million by 2000

Article Abstract:

Advanced technologies for bulk water treatment, such as reverse osmosis, are expected to experience increasing demand as seawater desalination becomes a more viable and utilized technique of providing fresh water. Other innovative methods have also been developed for applications such as desalination to bolster groundwater and surface water supplies and desalination for enhanced reclamation and reuse of wastewater. Thus, there are market opportunities in the near future for companies willing and able to manufacture and market advanced water treatment systems.

A new look at disinfection by-products in drinking water

Article Abstract:

The EPA initiated a negotiated rule-making process for the Disinfectant/Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) Rule in 1992. Stage One of the rules became effective in Dec 1998. Stage Two of the rules require even lower maximum contaminant levels for DBPs than those proposed in Stage One and will go into effect by May 2002. Most DBPs have not been studied toxicologically, while some of those already examined are probable or possible human carcinogens. A new technique has been developed to accurately identify different DBPs to minimize their formation.

Choosing the right disinfection technology for a municipal drinking water plant: part 2

Article Abstract:

A hybrid disinfection technology system for municipal drinking plant using filtration and a disinfectant downstream is recommended. A hybrid system can address problems posed by mounting regulations, wherein the advantages of a system may be outweighed by its limitations. The deployment of a disinfection technology should take into consideration the quality of the water to be treated and all laws and regulations to be followed at the wastewater treatment plant site.
