What does ozone disinfection consist of?
Ozone is a gas that is found naturally in the upper layers of the atmosphere and is characterized by its high oxidizing power, which makes it a highly effective and safe solution for disinfection.
Ozone disinfection eliminates pathogens by oxidizing the coverage of viruses, bacteria and fungi and a wide spectrum of microorganisms, which are deactivated.
Once disinfected, ozone decomposes in the same way that occurs naturally in the atmosphere and returns to oxygen, leaving no chemical residue. This characteristic makes it the most environmentally sustainable option.
In this disinfection process, ozone acts as a powerful deodorizer, eliminating the origin of unpleasant odors, and it does not pose any risk to people, since its application always takes place in controlled environments with specially designed equipment.
In the process of supplying water, various problems with water quality have arisen, one of the most common being caused by sediment.
What are sediments?
Sediments are sand, clay, rust, mud, and other loose soil particles that settle to the bottom of a body of water.
Know the problems that could cause:
Sediment increases the cost of drinking water treatment and can cause odor and taste problems.
Damage to pipes causing scaling.
Blockages in the pipes.
Don't let poor water quality affect your pipes at home.

Housing with standard blue bracket.
The latest engineering technology, constructed from reinforced polypropylene that is pressure tested beyond industry standards.
Prevents sediment such as sand particles, rust, mud, etc., from clogging pipes and showers.
The evolution of standardized parameters indicates that antiscalant is effective in inhibiting scale formation and preventing fouling by colloidal material in reverse osmosis membranes.
Scaling refers to the deposition of particles on a membrane that cause it to become clogged. The blocked surface due to fouling causes a decrease in permeate flux, reducing process efficiency and increasing operating costs.
After an induction period, the plant flow rate decreases rapidly. The duration of this period varies according to the type of scale and the degree of supersaturation of the light soluble salt.
The use of AWC antiscalant can eliminate the need for acid dosing, allow plants to operate at higher recoveries and reduce the frequency of cleanouts.
AWC has developed highly effective inhibitors that are unmatched in the industry for controlling the most challenging fouling.

Water treatment is increasingly necessary due to the scarcity of drinking water and the growing needs of the world's population.
Inadequate treatment of water generated by human activities is one of the main causes of pollution of ground, river and marine waters and of the alteration and degradation of associated ecosystems.
Water treatment consists of various chemical, biological and physical operations aimed at reducing or eliminating pollution. By purifying water, it is possible to ensure that those who drink it or use it for hygienic or culinary purposes will not run any risk of contracting diseases or infections.
The main function of wastewater treatment plants is to disinfect contaminated water in order to preserve the environment and increase the availability of this resource.
At American water solutions we have leading brands in the water treatment industry specialized in Pumps, Filtration, Reverse Osmosis (well water and sea water), Demineralization and Control and Instrumentation to improve water quality.
Ultraviolet light disinfection of water is a unique and rapid method of disinfection without the use of heat or chemicals.
¿Can UV light change the properties of water?
UV light does not chemically alter the structure of the treated fluid, chemical disinfection techniques, which involve handling hazardous substances and reactions that result in unwanted by-products.
Process water makes up a significant portion of water use in commercial and industrial sectors.
An increasing number of industries and user applications have found UV light to be the ideal solution for their water treatment requirements.
Over the years ultraviolet technology has established itself as the preferred method of disinfecting water efficiently and economically.
Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation® application specialists assist customers in selecting lamps and equipment.

A dosing pump is characterized as one of the most important elements for the operation of the industry.
Its main function is to distribute the different liquids that are used to make a product.
The truth is that what characterizes dosing pumps is that they have millimeter precision, especially when it is necessary to measure the quantities of certain liquids in very large volumes and in a certain time.
Metering pumps are very important for water treatment.
Meet the Walchem Iwaki brand pumps: Iwaki dosing pumps
IWAKI metering pumps combine the most advanced pump technology with the latest electrical technology.
Thanks to its wide range, it is practically possible to select the most suitable pump for any dosage in chemical processes and in water treatment.
For large dosing capacities, which are mainly used in process plants, we offer our many proven mechanical action dosing pumps.
¿What is it?
It's a broad spectrum liquid microbicide used in UF systems and RO systems for non-potable and non-medical water. Highly effective in water with high concentrations of organics and compatible with low levels of free chlorine and bromine, also scale and corrosion inhibitors.
¿Do you know its advantages?
-Non-oxidizing.
-Readily biodegradable when diluted and effective over a wide range of pH, temperature and water hardness.
-Causes immediate arrest of the growth of microorganisms when in contact with them.
-Broad spectrum activity against algae, fungi and bacteria, including Legionella pneumophila and sulfate reducing bacteria.
-Free formulation designed to be compatible with membrane antifoulants.
-Effective at low concentrations.

An innovative and complete line of dosing pumps for chemical applications in water treatment.
With more than 60 years of worldwide experience, Walchem and Iwaki have developed the most innovative and complete line of metering pumps to meet industrial or municipal water treatment applications, positioning themselves as one of the leading companies in the market.
Depending on the series, Iwaki metering pumps offer:
High accuracy
The discharge volume can be adjusted in the stroke length and the number of pulses. The stroke length can be adjusted between 20% and 100% and the number of pulses between 0 and 360 ipm. Therefore, a wide range of flow rates are covered.
Multifunctional controller
The controller includes an advanced micro-processor with 3 automatic modes (analog / multiply / divide) can be installed instead of manual operation.
Maximum chemical resistance
The pump heads are available in PVC, GFRPP, PVDF and SUS. All other parts in contact with the liquid are made of materials resistant to high corrosion such as Hastelloy C276, ceramic, PTFE, etc.
Easy maintenance
The pump is made up of few modular components. In addition, not only easy operation is guaranteed, but also regular maintenance creates no problems.

¿What is water desalination?
Desalination consists of a process of separating salts from brackish or sea water to convert them into water suitable for human, industrial or agricultural consumption.
¿What is the treatment that this type of water receives?
Water desalination is carried out through different technological processes in desalination plants.
These plants are water treatment facilities that make it possible to take advantage of seawater or brackish water, adapting them to the characteristics required for later use.
¿What is the advantage of desalination of water?
One of the most considered and of great importance is being able to have water available in places where there is greater scarcity.
LG BW R membranes offer a combination of high rejection and reliability suitable for high salinity brackish water and wastewater reuse applications.

The best efficient alternative for water disinfection is through ultraviolet (UV) light.
UV light prevents microorganisms from reproducing by damaging their nucleic acid.
¿How does UV light disinfect water?
This process is based on the principles of sunlight where by means of strong solar rays the water is permanently purified in a natural way, eliminating the contaminants present in the water.
Its disinfection is not a chemical process and does not produce any residue.
