Water Reuse & Recycling eBook: A Practical Guide

With only 1% of the world’s water supply available to meet human needs, conservation and reuse are not just good ideas; they are essential for survival.

This stark reality underscores the criticality of advanced water purification technologies that facilitate effective treatment and reuse.

Foremost among these is ultraviolet (UV) treatment. UV does not work like chemical disinfectants. Instead, UV uses specific wavelengths—typically in the UVC range (200–280 nm)—to penetrate the cell wall and damage the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) to prevent pathogens from replicating.

Trojan UV has taken this technology to the next level with an advanced oxidation process (AOP) that adds an oxidant to the established treatment process to create the hydroxyl radical, focusing the UV light on the added oxidant instead of directly targeting the contaminant. The radicals that are formed fragment the chemical bonds of toxic chemicals, breaking down their structure and rendering them benign.

With this approach, Trojan UV has established a way to facilitate wastewater contaminant removal that meets potable water reuse regulations and provides much needed water for human use.
