Process Water
Aclarus designs and engineers proprietary ozone solutions for process water disinfection, sanitation and reuse for a variety of industrial applications including bottled water, food and beverage production, dairies, livestock, wineries, breweries and mining.
Ozone is a superior chemical free treatment solution that can significantly reduce water consumption and provide reuse water throughout the industrial manufacturing process.
Ozone has been used for water disinfection for more than 100 years however prior to the 1970’s chlorine was the global standard for sanitation. When it was discovered that chlorine treatment created toxic THM’s, ozone adoption increased significantly.Today ozone is universally recognized as a safe and far more effective disinfectant than chlorine. It is the fastest, strongest and most environmentally friendly water treatment technology available. Ozone breaks down rapidly to oxygen after contact and leaves no residuals in the effluent water. This is a key benefit in the production of organic and premium quality food and beverages. It is also beneficial in meeting local wastewater regulations, reducing overages and dumping fees.
Ozone is the fastest growing technology in the global water disinfection market today.
Here’s why Aclarus Ozone is the superior solution for your process water treatment:
✓ Dedicated Team
Our team of water professionals have engineered and installed more than 1000 Aclarus ozone systems. We understand the municipal bid process and can provide our expertise throughout the process.
✓ Proprietary Technology
Aclarus proprietary ozone technology is engineered and rigorously tested to meet your exact specifications and wastewater requirements. We provide comprehensive on-site and in-house laboratory testing.
✓ More Effective
Aclarus Ozone is a very strong chemical-free disinfectant effective at treating the most complex water problems. The Aclarus Treatment List includes pathogens (bacteria, viruses, cysts), contaminants (metals, inorganics, organics) and contaminants of emerging concern (pharmaceuticals, microplastics, petrochemicals, PFA’s).
✓ Compatibility with Ultra Violet (UV)
Ozone works well with Ultra Violet (UV) as an Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP). Ozone will disinfect and clarify the water to enable the UV to work. Hydroxyl radical is formed when ozone hits the UV light which results in instant treatment of the water source. Ozone then breaks down to oxygen ready for discharge.
✓ Quick Return on Investment (ROI)
Aclarus Ozone offers a quick return on investment (ROI). The elimination or reduction of chemicals (such as chlorine and PAA), no hot water requirement and the ability to reuse water are significant cost saving benefits.
✓ Increases Oxygen
Aclarus Ozone increases the dissolved oxygen content in the effluent which can eliminate the need for reaeration and elevate the dissolved oxygen content in the receiving waterway.
✓ Lifetime Customer Support
Aclarus commitment to customer service provides assurance that you’ll receive reliable, responsive support for the life of your system.
✓ Short Contact Period
Aclarus high flow ozone treatment process requires relatively short contact time, approximately 10 to 30 seconds. Our systems run on-demand with exceptionally high uptime performance.
✓ Dissolved Oxygen
Aclarus Ozone increases the dissolved oxygen content in the effluent which can eliminate the need for reaeration and elevate the dissolved oxygen content in the receiving waterway.
✓ Comprehensive Treatment
Aclarus Ozone is a comprehensive treatment solution that provides disinfection, oxidation and aesthetic water treatment, including taste, colour and odour.
✓ Lowest Lifecycle Cost
Aclarus Ozone has the lowest life cycle cost versus chlorine and UV. The average municipal water treatment cost is 5-10 cents per 1m3.
✓ Compact and Modular
Aclarus Ozone systems are compact, modular and easily retro-fit on a small footprint within existing infrastructure.
✓ Minimal Maintenance
Systems require minimal maintenance, and don’t require chemicals that need to be monitored.
✓ Onsite Generation
Aclarus Ozone systems work on-site, require minimal maintenance, and don’t require chemicals that need to be monitored. There are no operator safety issues associated with shipping and handling of chemicals.
✓ Environmentally Friendly
Aclarus Ozone is environmentally friendly - chemical free and energy efficient.
Process Water Case Study
London Dairy
In 2003, London Dairy was founded with the goal of providing a safe, clean, healthy and comfortable environment for its employees and livestock. London Dairy has remained true to this vision. They are now one of Canada’s largest dairy farms with more than 1,500 milking cows. They also sell premium, genetically superior dairy cattle as replacement and breeding stock to clients across Canada and the U.S. They pride themselves on providing the quality resources that dairymen require to achieve business success.
London Dairy was looking for an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to address the contaminants from its three onsite wells. Their wells provide water for feeding the cattle, pressure washing, and cleaning milking equipment, cooler tanks and pipelines.
