EnvirOzone
Technologies, Inc. has conducted independent laboratory tests
in all areas of process application-groundwater remediation, industrial
and municipal waste water, and potable water.
Outstanding
test results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the EOT
Treatment.

California Environmental Protection Agency Certification

"On behalf of
the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA), I am
pleased to announce California Certification of the EnvirOzone
Technologies, Inc. Advanced Oxidation System (Model EOT-AOX 1000).
Congratulations on achieving the State of California's highest
recognition for the performance of your wastewater treatment technology!"

Results from treating
secondary effluent wastewater in Oakland, CA showed that the EnvirOzone
system reduced, with a 95% confidence interval, fecal coliform
levels to less than 23 MPN/100ml, meeting EBMUD's discharge requirements
as well as earning EnvirOzone's water treatment system Cal/EPA
Certification.
The EnvirOzone system
was also successful in reducing the concentrations of many complex
organic compounds in EBMUD's secondary effluent, including MtBE.
Tests showed 70%-90% reductions in organic compounds, with a 70%
reduction in MtBE after three cycles through the EnvirOzone process.

-
EOT started testing its 1000-GPM system at SRCSD in March
2000 and ended in March 2001. Ozone/UV treatment alone did not meet
SRCSD's discharge requirement.
- In the initial Testing Program, there was lack of
consistency in total coliform reduction. Particle associated coliforms
was likely the cause of this inconsistency.
- Increasing the Ozone dose and time of treatment did not resolve the problem.
- A 5 to 7-GPM bench scale system with multi-media
filter was installed. An ozone contact tank and low pressure UV unit
were set up at the site, using the same influent as that entering the
full scale 1000-GPM system.
- The pre-system multimedia filtration improved the
coliform count greatly and the results were more consistent; 95% of the
MPN readings were non detect to less than 2. The highest reading was 23
MPN.
- Full scale (1000-GPM) Multi-Media Filtration System
with back-wash cycle was ordered and installed at the site. Pipes were
connected receiving SRCSD secondary effluent. The water was
filtered prior to the Ozone/UV Advanced Oxidation Process treatment.
That exercise took effect during the last two weeks of EOT's contract
with SRCSD. The MPN results were vastly improved, so did the
transmission and organic chemicals oxidation. However, the MPN results
were still not sufficiently consistent.
- Checking with the filter manufacturer, it was
discovered that EOT’s flux rate of 1000-GPM was higher than the
recommended rate of 3.5-5.0-GPM/square foot. The back wash cycle
scheduled every 2 hours for 5 minutes per filter was not frequent
enough. Thus a repeat of the test was recommended in order to
achieve consistent results and qualification for California Department
of Health Services (CADHS) Title-22 status.
- EOT requested more time to repeat the test at the
recommended flux and back-wash cycle timing, but SRCSD management
did not approve the extension due to the need for opening the road
blocked by EOT's influent & effluent pipes.Thus, the test was never
carried out at that site.
- EOT management did not have the opportunity to
repeat the test elsewhere, but it is confident that by repeating the
pilot testing with the recommended flux and back-wash cycle, the
process will achieve eligibility for CADHS Title-22 status for water
reuse.
