Problem: Pure Water Monterey, an advanced water purification process that treats four sources of water for domestic, irrigation, and aquifer recharge in Monterey County, California, also has to deal with seasonal and source-related fluctuations in contaminants and volumes. Source flows include winter stormwater, agricultural runoff during the growing season, wastewater during the tourist high season, and vegetable processor rinse water in summer and fall.
Solution: Monterey turned to ozone to help control pathogens, taste and odor, and minerals across the variations in source water. To guarantee that the ozone performed optimally, design engineers selected a sidestream injection system for ozone dissolution
