Water Disinfection Technologies TodayAdvantagesIssues
ChlorinationRelatively cheap; Widely used and accepted
Disinfection by-products; Taste in food; Ineffective against Cryptosporidium & Giardia; Creates issues for downstream processing - membranes
OzonationEffective;Accepted for some industries
Disinfection by-products (Bromates); Hard to control with water quality flux; Difficult working environment; Lots of hidden costs
MembranesReliable;Wide acceptance
Expensive to buy & operate; Stops microbes only above certain threshold; Sensitive to chlorine; Backwash treatment and biofilms breed hidden costs over time
Heat exchange (pasteurization)
Reliable; Wide acceptance
Extremely high operational cost; Intensive maintenance
Conventional UV
Environmentally Friendly;Acceptable
Microbial Kill 1-3 log range; Deposits & fouling of quartz sleeves; High maintenance; Questionable reliability; Issues with monitoring and control

Introducing the Atlantium R-Series HODTM System– An Out-of-the-Box Design
Cut-away view of the Atlantium R-200. Light beams illustrate the fiber optic
Total Internal Reflection principle.

Applications in Food & BeverageApplicationBenefits
1Entrance to Plant – “fire wall”•Overall contamination reduction•Reduce/eliminate chlorination for some
(Chemicals, Holding tank, Pump, less Active Carbon, less DBPs)
2Before Activated Carbon Filters•Reduce number of cleaning cycles•Reduce the risk of bio-fouling potential outbreaks from AC filters
3Before RO / Membrane•Reduce bio-fouling•Reduce membrane maintenance•Reduce energy costs•Increase membrane lifetime
4Ozonation Replacement (process, rinsers)
•Reduce need for chemicals, especially where bromates or water quality may fluctuate •Cost reduction with no DBPs
