Disinfection of Groundwater and
Wastewater
AOS Treatment
Solutions
Disinfection is an effective treatment process that can
safely remove a variety of waterborne pathogens from a water supply.
There are many types of pathogens that can get into a
water supply. Each cause different problems, but there are several effective
methods for their removal.
TYPES OF
PATHOGENS
Pathogens are anything that can cause disease.
Water pathogens are usually either bacterial or viral.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), dangerous bacteria that are sometimes found
in the water supply include E. coli, shigella and salmonella.
Hepatitis A and the norovirus are two types of viruses
that can contaminate municipal water systems.
PROBLEMS
PATHOGENS CAUSE
Most of the bacteria and viruses that are found in the
water supply are not life-threatening for otherwise healthy individuals.
Many can, however, cause temporary illnesses, as well as
chronic health conditions.
Short-term illness caused by bacteria and viruses is often
characterized by nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and fever.
A few gastrointestinal illnesses can be fatal, especially
for very young children, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
Neurological disorders and reproductive problems can also
result from pathogens found in the water supply.
GROUNDWATER
DISINFECTION SOLUTIONS
There are several water treatment disinfection methods
that can be used to remove pathogens from groundwater, wastewater and surface
water.
The following are a few of the groundwater disinfection
solutions offered by AOS Treatment Solutions:
· Chlorine Dioxide
Control and Assistance — According
to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
chlorine is the disinfectant most often used to inactivate waterborne
pathogens. Chlorine dioxide is a specific type of gas that can also be used to
treat municipal water supplies.
· Sodium Hypochlorite
(Bleach) — This is a disinfectant that
has proven to be effective in purifying groundwater and eliminating odors. It
is often used because microorganisms can’t build up a resistance to it.
· Liquid Ammonium
Sulfate (LAS) — Chem Trade states
that liquid ammonium sulfate is a non-toxic, stable liquid that can be used
effectively for the treatment of drinking water.
AOS offers several disinfection wastewater treatment solutions
that can be used to purify and maintain water at high standards.
We offer a range of groundwater treatment services and
solutions to municipalities, including independent water analysis, chemical
