Prompt
Can you recommend disinfection equipment vendors for meeting drinking water quality targets in a wastewater-to-potable upgrade?
Latest observation
Yes — for a wastewater-to-potable upgrade, you’ll typically want vendors that can supply validated multi-barrier disinfection systems, often combining UV, ozone, chlorine/chloramine, and/or advanced oxidation, plus monitoring and controls that support drinking-water compliance.
Vendors to consider
UV disinfection
Good for pathogen inactivation with low chemical footprint, often used as a final barrier.
-
Trojan Technologies
Widely used in municipal water and reuse projects; strong UV reactor portfolio and validation support. -
Xylem / Wedeco
Broad UV and ozone offerings; experienced in large-scale treatment trains. -
Aquionics
UV systems for municipal and industrial applications. -
Atlantium
UV with HOD (Hydro-Optic Disinfection) technology; known for high-flow applications.
Ozone and advanced oxidation
Useful for virus/pathogen reduction, trace organics, taste/odor, and polishing.
-
Xylem / Wedeco
Strong ozone systems, including generation and contactors. -
Jacobi Carbons / ozone-related integrators
More often for downstream polishing, but commonly part of a broader treatment package. -
Ozonia (Veolia)
Major ozone system provider with deep municipal experience. -
Primozone
Ozone generation systems for water treatment.
Chlorination / chloramination
Often needed to maintain distribution residual and final compliance.
-
Evoqua
Disinfection feed systems and chemical dosing skids; now part of Xylem in many markets. -
Prominent
Chemical metering and dosing systems. -
Grundfos Dosing
Reliable chemical feed and controls. -
SEKO
Dosing and monitoring systems.
Integrated reuse / potable reuse solution providers
These are especially useful if you want vendor coordination across the full treatment train.
- Veolia Water Technologies
- Xylem
- SUEZ (now part of Veolia in many regions, but some legacy project teams still operate under SUEZ branding)
- Aqua-Aerobic Systems
- Biwater
- Acciona Agua
- Kiewit / EPC integrators with water reuse experience
What to look for in a vendor
For potable reuse, don’t just buy “disinfection equipment” — look for vendors who can support:
- Regulatory validation for the target log reduction
- Redundancy and fail-safe controls
- Online UVT, turbidity, TOC, chlorine residual, and flow monitoring
- SCADA integration
- Operator training and lifecycle support
- Compatibility with the overall treatment train
(e.g., MF/UF + RO + UV/AOP + final residual disinfection)
Typical disinfection barriers in potable reuse
A common train may include:
- Membrane filtration (MF/UF)
- Reverse osmosis or other advanced treatment
- UV/AOP for pathogen and trace contaminant control
- Final chlorination/chloramination for distribution residual
Shortlist approach
If you want a practical shortlist, I’d start with:
- Trojan Technologies
- Xylem / Wedeco
- Veolia / Ozonia
- Atlantium
- Prominent or Grundfos for chemical feed
If you’d like, I can also provide:
- a vendor comparison table,
- a request-for-quotation checklist, or
- recommendations tailored to indirect potable reuse vs direct potable reuse.
