MAZZEI INJECTOR COMPANY CELEBRATES 40

YEARS OF INNOVATION, COLLABORATION AND

SERVICE

Angelo and Mary Mazzei receive the California LegislatureResolution in Mazzei’s honor.

The founders and employees of Mazzei Injector Companycelebrated the organization's 40th anniversary on April 12,2018 with a look at the evolution from its humble beginningsin Angelo and Mary Mazzei's Bakersfield garage to itsmaturation into a world-renowned leader in fluid processingtechnology. Today, the company--still headed by AngeloMazzei, who has been joined by his daughter Celia "Cece"Cobar as head of research and development--employs morethan 28 people and manufactures venturi injectors and otherspecialized fluid handling equipment in Bakersfield.

"I think the single best attribute of Mazzei Injector, which hashelped the company succeed for all these years, is the passionfor excellence that Angelo has, and that has permeatedthroughout the company," said Geoff Whynot, president ofMazzei Injector Company, at a luncheon marking theanniversary of the company's establishment.

Venturi Principle

Mazzei, who grew up in the San Joaquin Valley and worked onhis uncle's farm after graduating from Fresno State College,built his first injector to efficiently blend fertilizer withirrigation water from the pressurized supply lines feeding offthe California Aqueduct. He tapped into the venturi principle,using a specially designed configuration that directed water toincrease velocity through a chamber, creating a vacuum thatpulled fertilizer into the system and mixed it with the flowingwater. With no moving parts and powered by a minimal

differential pressure of the water in the line, the system washighly efficient and almost foolproof. Mazzei received his firstpatent, and founded the company with Mary, in 1978.

Since its start in agriculture 40 years ago, Mazzei injectors havebecome widely used for fluid processing solutions in a widerange of industries. Winemakers use Mazzei injectors toimprove yeast growth during fermentation of their wines.Utilities use them to more efficiently purify drinking water.Food companies and industrial customers use them to reduceodors in their wastewater. Hot tub makers place small Mazzeiinjectors in their systems to blend ozone into the water forsanitation. And farmers are still using Mazzei injectors toprecisely manage fertilizers and crop protection products inirrigation water, and, increasingly, to aerate the root zone.Other Mazzei inventions have further enhanced the efficiencyof gas/liquid mixing, which has long challenged engineers.

"For 40 years, Angelo has built more than a company, he's builta culture--a culture of innovation, a culture of collaboration, aculture of service," said Jim Lauria, vice president of sales andmarketing.

PUREWATER COLORADO DIRECT POTABLE REUSE DEMO

PROJECT WILL EMPLOY XYLEM TECHNOLOGY

Xylem Inc. has been engaged as a water technology solutionsprovider to the PureWater Colorado Demonstration Project,which aims to demonstrate direct potable reuse (DPR) as asafe, reliable and sustainable drinking water source. DenverWater has partnered with Carollo Engineers, WateReuse

Colorado (WRCO) and Xylem on the project which is locatedat the Denver Water Recycling Plant and will run during Aprilthis year. Some of the water produced will be used to brew beerto raise awareness among the general public about this waterpurification process.

Water reuse is part of Colorado's Water Plan to reduce theamount of water diverted from rivers and streams, creating asustainable, efficient way to extend the state's water supplies.

The demonstration project uses a five-step process to purify thewater for recycle: ozonation, biological filtration,microfiltration, granular activated carbon filtration and UVdisinfection. An advantage of the process is that it does notgenerate a waste stream of concentrated salt that can bedifficult to dispose in states that are not close to the ocean.

Declaration Brewery company will use some of the purifiedwater to create a special craft beer to promote water reuse andto celebrate Denver Water’s 100th anniversary.

You can discuss this project with Xylem representatives at theupcoming IOA-PAG conference in Las Vegas

OZONE-BASED TREATMENT FOR REFINERY AND

PETROCHEMICAL WASTEWATER

The March 26, 2018 issue of Water Technology Onlinedescribes in detail a SUEZ integrated process to treat refineryand petrochemical wastewater from a PetroChina facilityoutside the city of Chengdu in China’s Sichuan province.

The treatment plant capacity was 2,500 m3/h of wastewatersplit equally between a crude oil processing facility and anethylene production facility. The design criteria were to reuse70% of the wastewater effluent for cooling tower feedwater,reduce wastewater flow to 430 m3/h and reduce COD to 60mg/L.

The effluent was treated by sand filtration, ozonation,biological filtration, ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis. Thereverse osmosis brine concentrate was again treated by ozone,biological filtration and filtration through granulated activatedcarbon before being discharged into a local river. The COD of

Aclara, St. Louis, MO and SUEZ North America haveentered an exclusive strategic partnership to deliver advancedmetering infrastructure (AMI) and smart infrastructuresolutions (SIS) that will enable SUEZ to better servemunicipalities across the United States.

Xylem Inc. has acquired EmNet LLC, a provider of smartsolutions that help municipalities manage the urban water cycleand wastewater and stormwater systems.

MEMBRANE APPLICATIONS FOR WATER REUSE

Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes have been used in waterreuse since the 1960s, however; the use of membranes in full-scale reuse applications has changed dramatically. The goal formembrane facilities in water reuse applications is finding the

balance between cleaning frequency and chemical and energycosts. The American Water Works Association (AWWA) hasreleased a new manual, M62 Membrane Applications for WaterReuse.

This 320-page manual presents a comprehensive description ofthe issues related to applying membrane technologies in waterreuse projects. In addition, this manual devotes an entirechapter to case studies to showcase a variety of real worldapplications.

This manual is available from the AWWA for $125 (AWWAmembers) of $195 (non-members). Due to the increasing roleof ozone in membrane processes, this manual would be a goodaddition to the ozone professional’s library.

Introduction

The purpose of the International Ozone Association (IOA) wasestablished in 1973 by industry and research visionary people;its purpose being, Education & Science on any and all aspects

of ozone and related oxygen species technologies.

The IOA must activate to support a rapidly changingenvironment. This changing environment involves:• New challenges to meet increasing human needs for food,

water, energy, goods, health and environment protectionthat increase with population, urbanization, rising of livingstandards. They offer an even greater potential to ozoneworldwide as shown in a promising market analysis.

• Numerous players organizing interpenetrating networkswith that of the IOA.

Environmental needs constitute a driver of growth for the IOAas the leading organization promoting dissemination ofknowledge and source advances to promote development oftechnologies and applications of ozone and its derivedoxidants.

Stronger and stronger awareness of the Board of Directors overpast years led to the gradual establishment and formalization ofa strong strategy for the future of the Association based on itsmembership growth. The present document reports thisstrategy assessment and the related agenda.

This plan is driven by the ambition to offer members excellentservices and many opportunities of collaboration according totheir expectations, to greatly increase the Associationrecognition and connections.

The execution of the plan is up to the commitment of theDirectors of the Board and Officers, all volunteers, who havecontributed and will continue to contribute and to convertmanagement wishes into accomplishments. Combining andmastering its three strategic directions aims long- term successof the IOA as number one association on ozone related scienceand technologies.

Strategic Document

I. Strategy

In developing the strategic document, a Root Cause Analysisapproach was used which outlined key issues to address by theIOA Officers and Directors both at the International andRegional Group level. This is not necessarily a picture of theorganization; rather it outlines items which, if present, cancause a membership from succeeding and cause a membershipdecrease. Like other organizations, the IOA has seen amembership decrease. Some of the decrease is likely due toitems outside our scope of control. There are items, however,

STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE INTERNATIONAL OZONE ASSOCIATION (2018)

which can be addressed to minimize any decrease, bring in newmembers and encourage previous members to rejoin.

A chart showing the Root Cause Analysis flow pattern is shownabove.

Accordingly, the resulting roadmap focuses on acomprehensive communication strategy that aims:• GrowthMembership growth through excellent service to members andbetter marketing.

• Involvement:Increased member satisfaction and involvement in IOAactivities and management.

• RecognitionBased on its shared expertise, its long standing as internationalorganization, continuation of positioning the IOA as a referencenetwork and major force as educational and scientificorganization in ozone and related oxygen species – (“AOP”term did not already exist at the IOA creation date).

• LeverageBetter effectiveness of actions on a worldwide scale and use ofresources within the whole organization.

II. Strategic Agenda

The Strategic Agenda is more specific and focuses on threeintegrated directions on which new actions have been initiated,run among our assets, or will be developed. An effectiveCommunication Plan will be essential to implement theprocess. A comprehensive communication strategy will resultin:• Growth: membership growth through excellent service to

members and better marketing

• Involvement: increased member satisfaction andinvolvement

• Recognition: position of IOA as a major force as a“educational and scientific organization dedicated to thecollection and dissemination of information on, and otpromote research in any and all aspects of ozone andrelated oxygen species technologies”

Communicate or “Collect and disseminate information”according to the IOA mission, related to the associationitself

• Ensure the best technical and scientific value of IOApublications: Membership Directory, Ozone News,Ozone: Science & Engineering Journal, new tools andguidelines released by the Ozone Engineering Group, newworldwide ozone references survey.

• Offer high quality events through proper selection oftheme and program, professional organization of events:Regional Conferences, Workshops and World Congresses.

• Refine and develop materials with suitable format: newelectronic corporate identity including www.io3a.orgwebsite and IOA presentation, Technical data sheets andan IOA “welcome package” for new members.

Address issues according to current expectations of “Ozonepeople”, member or non-member, according to theiraffiliation and country both which widely among industry.

The following chart shows a forecast of the dynamics of ozoneactivity per geographical area and should guide the IOA as towhich areas to apply focus.

Specific areas of focus include:

• Offer attractive opportunities for presenting/publishingpapers on research topics to academics: peer reviewed

experts at Ozone World Congresses• Provide Training Workshops

o Use workshops as a format to educate on latestresearch results regarding ozone applications

o Performed in conjunction with IOA regional meetingsor as a special event

o Interact with Federal regulators on emergingapplications

Open the Association to younger and more diverseprofessionals

• Sustain growth of the Young Ozone People Group byarranging meetings and providing support to meetings.

• Enhance communication actions to make the IOA visibleand to prove its high dynamics: websites, events,publications, IOA representation in internationalconferences (IWA-AOP conference, AmericanaConference – Montreal, EPOA Conference – Brazil,Waterex-China, SIWW – Singapore, AWWA-USA)

• Frame and maintain collaborations with relevantAssociationso On joint applications in water treatment i.e., WRF,

IUVAo With national focus such as China Ozone Association,

Korea Ozone Associationo On joint Chemical Engineering discipline such as

French Chemical Engineering Society and AIChE.

This document is periodically reviewed during the time of IOAInternational Board meetings, the next which will take placeduring the IOA regional conference in Lausanne, Switzerland,September 3-5, 2018. Implementation of this plan cannot be bythe IOA Board alone. Member volunteers are needed to assistin implementation of the strategic plan.

In the morning, the ozone facilities at the Clark County WaterReclamation District will be visited. This district is the largest

wastewater agency in the State of Nevada, serving more than248,000 business and residential accounts. The Flamingo WaterResource Center ensures the wastewater meets high treatmentlevels allowing the reclaimed water to be discharged intothe Las Vegas Wash and back into Lake Mead. Visitors willtour a 30 MGD advanced treatment process incorporatingmembrane filtration and ozone to treat secondary effluent.

In the afternoon, visitors will see the Las Vegas SpringsReserve. You can touch replicated quagga mussels, look atharmful water contaminants using a microscope, examiningrock samples excavated from hundreds of feet below LakeMead’s surface and more at WaterWorks, the SpringsPreserve’s newest permanent exhibit.

The exhibit is inside the Charleston Heights Pumping Station,an operational water pumping facility owned and operated bythe Las Vegas Valley Water District, at the Springs Preserve. Itis the only place in Southern Nevada with a behind-the-sceneslook at the journey water takes to reach your tap. WaterWorksfeatures dynamic, hand-on experiences that will engage visitorsin the inner-workings of water-resource treatment and deliveryin Southern Nevada.

Ozone and Advanced Oxidation

Solutions for Emerging Pollutants of Concern to the Water and the Environment

INTRODUCTION EA3G2018 follows a long series of successful conferences which were organised to provide an international forum for all concerned including fundamental, engineering and applied aspects of oxidation techniques involving ozone and advanced oxidation systems. One can particularly remember the well-attended Conference focused on the micropollutants issue which also took place in Switzerland as pioneer country In the development of solutions (Geneva, 2010).

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Health risks associated with contaminated water and wastewater, continuous degradation of aquatic environment and water scarcity issues contribute to the increase of advanced technologies implementation upon legislative impetus. In a near future, the elimination of emerging pollutants of concern (i.e., pharmaceuticals, endocrine-disrupting compounds, surfactants, plasticizers, disinfection by-products and other chemicals) will drive the selection of water and wastewater treatment processes. EA3G2018 event thus aims to present an overview of the current state of knowledge and latest advances regarding the use of Ozone and Advanced Oxidation to provide solutions for the control of emerging parameters including persistent organic pollutants, hazardous substances and microbiological contaminants in any water.

Topics of interest relevant to the Conference theme include but are not limited to the combinations of:

Drinking water production Process water production Wastewater treatment

recycling and reuse Full treatment line Product / Process

Research & Development Synergy effects Full-scale applications

Oxidation, disinfection, advanced oxidation

Reaction with Microorganisms and Persistent pollutants: mechanisms, kinetics

By-products and toxicity control Hydraulics, hydrodynamics,

mass transfer Modelling, system design

PROGRAMME Scientific and technical sessions with oral and poster

presentations, discussions Networking opportunities and Exhibition of ozone related

products and services Technical visit of ozone plant(s) Conference dinner.

CALL FOR PAPERS - PUBLICATIONS Researchers, scientists, practitioners are invited to propose oral or poster presentations related to the theme topics.
