Trojan has an unrivalled depth of experience at all scales. We are proud to have been selected by New York City to be the supplier of ultraviolet (UV) drinking water disinfection equipment for the Catskill/Delaware UV Disinfection Facility. Trojan will supply 56 units, capable of treating a total of 2.2 billion gallons per day, making this the largest UV drinking water facility in the world.

Trojan was selected after a rigorous validation process which included building one full-size UV system specifically designed for the project. The system underwent performance tests at an independent test facility. The New York City DEP also conducted an evaluation of the total life cycle costs of each proposed system, and found the Trojan system to be the most economical.

Trojan has also been selected to supply UV equipment for the largest UV installations to date in Canada (Victoria, Canada) and Europe (Rotterdam, Netherlands).

Not only are Trojan’s Municipal Drinking Water contracts growing in scope and size, there is increasing diversity in how the innovative UV systems are being integrated with existing chemical disinfection treatments. New government legislation is changing the way communities look at safeguarding their drinking water supplies. Municipalities are responding by supplementing their systems with other forms of disinfection in a strategy known as “multi-barrier protection.” Another key consideration is cost. The cost of UV technology is typically about 1/5th that of ozone disinfection and 1/10th the cost of membrane filtration.
