Treating environmental Contaminants with UV
There is a growing awareness of undesirable chemical contaminants in the world’s water supply. Recent research has shown that a wide variety of potentially harmful chemicals exist at trace concentrations in streams, lakes, rivers, and groundwater throughout the world. In addition, consumers generally associate poor aesthetic quality of water (its taste and smell) with the presence of harmful compounds. For this reason, drinking water professionals are placing increasing emphasis on the treatment of potentially harmful environmental contaminants and taste and odor-causing compounds that impact the aesthetic quality of water. There is also an growing desire to remove chemical contaminants from wastewater prior to its discharge to the environment or its reuse for irrigation or augmentation of drinking water supplies. To address these needs, Trojan's UV-oxidation solutions provide a powerful barrier to chemical contaminants in water while simultaneously disinfecting.
Trojan has led the revolution in the use of UV light and hydrogen peroxide for the treatment of contaminants in water. In fact, we were the first to implement large-scale, monochromatic lamp-based UV systems for the treatment of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), dramatically reducing energy consumption in NDMA treatment. Trojan is demonstrating that UV light (either alone or in conjunction with hydrogen peroxide) acts as a barrier to potentially harmful chemical contaminants while simultaneously disinfecting.

A Growing List of Environmental Contaminants:
- NDMA
- Taste and Odor-causing Compounds (MIB and geosmin)
- Pesticides and Herbicides
- 1,4-Dioxane
- Fuel and Fuel Additives (such as MTBE, hydrazine, and BTEX)
- Volatile Organic Compounds (such as PCE, TCE and Vinyl Chloride)
- Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs)
- Endocrine Disruptor Chemicals
TrojanUV Solutions for ECT
For the treatment of these contaminants and others, Trojan offers two different UV solutions. For municipal applications treating taste and odor-causing chemicals and other emerging contaminants in drinking water, choose the TrojanUVSwift™ECT. For water reuse, drinking water, and groundwater remediation, choose the TrojanUVPhox™. Both are available with integrated hydrogen peroxide delivery systems and full-service support to provide you with a complete ECT solution. For more information on hydrogen peroxide, click here.
