Stormwater

Aclarus designs and engineers proprietary ozone solutions for Stormwater management. We provide solutions for a variety of applications including parking lots, multi-unit residential and office buildings. Stormwater can be captured in a retention pond, cistern, tank, well or dugout. Once captured stormwater, is stored and treated onsite when needed, or treated to meet local regulations and sent to a municipal water treatment facility. Large amounts of snowmelt can also be treated in the same way.

Stormwater presents unique challenges that requires a solution with the ability to treat spontaneous and large volumes of water, a wide range of contaminants that can fluctuate depending on the time of year, to meet municipal water treatment regulations, and/or be stored for later reuse. Aclarus provides comprehensive on-site and in-house laboratory analysis to determine the typical range of water flow and contaminants, accounting for seasonal variations, snowmelt, salt, sediments, oil & gas leaks and other contaminants.

Ozone has been used for water treatment for more than 100 years however prior to the 1970’s chlorine was the global standard for disinfection. When it was discovered that chlorine treatment created toxic THM’s, interest in ozone significantly increased. 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.
