Water treatment infrastructure is built for longevity. Many treatment plants operate for 30 to 50 years, and major structural assets such as basins, piping networks, and buildings are expected to serve multiple generations of operators. However, while the infrastructure surrounding a treatment process can last decades, the technologies that power treatment systems continue to evolve. Power electronics improve, control systems advance, and manufacturing technologies change over time. For utilities operating ozone systems installed 15 or 20 years ago, the challenge is not that ozone technology has become outdated. The chemistry [...]
