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.
What you´ll learn:
- Understand the chemistry and benefits of performic acid as an advanced disinfectant.
- Explore regulatory requirements for bathing water, water reuse, and stormwater treatment.
- Learn from real-world case studies demonstrating successful applications of performic acid in wastewater reuse, bathing water disinfection, and stormwater treatment.
- Discover practical implementation insights, such as dosing strategies, performance results, and integration with existing treatment processes.
Key takeaways:
- Performic acid is a highly effective and sustainable disinfectant with rapid reaction, low required doses, and non-toxic byproducts.
- Compliance with regulations for bathing water, reuse, and stormwater is achievable using performic acid, as demonstrated by multiple successful case studies.
- Real-world cases confirm excellent disinfection performance for wastewater reuse, bathing water, and combined sewer overflows, even at very low dosing levels.
- Integration of performic acid into existing treatment processes is practical and efficient, supporting diverse applications.
