You will be receiving this issue of <strong>Ozone</strong> News<br />
just before or during the Strasbourg World<br />
Congress. Considerable planning has gone<br />
into this Congress and I am sure that it will be a big<br />
success.<br />
This Congress will be followed in about two months<br />
by a Pan American Group conference at Lake<br />
Lanier Islands, GA. The PAG conferences are<br />
always well-attended and supported by the ozone<br />
manufacturing community. This will be an excellent<br />
stop to see what is new in the field of ozone.<br />
There has been much going on in the world of<br />
<strong>Ozone</strong>. The Japan <strong>Ozone</strong> <strong>Association</strong> has just<br />
completed an annual seminar and elected new<br />
leadership. An annual ozone conference in Russia<br />
was just completed. <strong>Ozone</strong> was nicely covered at<br />
the recent AWWA Conference and Exposition. All<br />
of these events are covered in this issue.<br />
After resolution of some technical issues, IOA<br />
members should now have access to <strong>Ozone</strong>:<br />
Science & Engineering on the Taylor & Francis<br />
website. I have used this website a number of times<br />
and it is a good way to retrieve past articles from<br />
recent issues of OS&E. It now makes OS&E<br />
assessable from any location, not just the location<br />
of the hard copy.<br />
All members should be very pleased with the<br />
positive recommendations that a number of ozone<br />
manufacturers have given for the IOA. By their<br />
email correspondence and advertising, they are<br />
directing others to our organization and our<br />
website.<br />
There is much being accomplished in the IOA to the<br />
benefit of all the membership.<br />

Metropolitan Water District Board approves<br />
2005-06 budget<br />
LOS ANGELES - A $1.69 billion spending plan was<br />
approved by Metropolitan Water District's Board of<br />
Directors.<br />
"This budget reflects our commitment to improve the<br />
reliability and quality of the Southland's water supplies<br />
and delivery capabilities to ensure that the region's water<br />
needs are met," said Metropolitan board Chairman Wes<br />
Bannister.<br />
The 2005-06 spending plan is $86.4 million or 5 percent<br />
higher than the previous fiscal year, primarily because of<br />
increases in Metropolitan's capital improvement budget,<br />
officials said.<br />
From July 1 to June 30 of next year, the capital budget is<br />
Industry News<br />

$500.6 million, covering more than 30 major construction<br />
contracts and 340 projects, according to MWD officials.<br />
Key system improvements will include the construction of<br />
the Inland Feeder and two other new major imported<br />
water lines; expansion of a water treatment plant serving<br />
southwest Riverside and San Diego counties; and the<br />
addition of ozone treatment facilities at two district<br />
filtration plants, which are needed to meet increasingly<br />
rigorous water quality regulations, according to the<br />
MWD.<br />
In other news, MWD announced that they have switched<br />
their primary disinfectant from chlorine to ozone, with<br />
the conversion of the 750 million gallon per day Joseph P.<br />
Jensen plant.<br />

Pacific <strong>Ozone</strong> Featured on World Business<br />
Review.<br />
A recent segment of World Business Review, hosted by<br />
Alexander Haig, focused on the benefits of using ozone<br />
as an alternative to water and air purification. Pacific<br />
<strong>Ozone</strong> presented the technology they provide to the<br />
market, addressing this very important issue.<br />
Brian Johnson, Pacific <strong>Ozone</strong> president, noted, "Pacific<br />
<strong>Ozone</strong> Technology is a complete ozone partner to users<br />
who need ozone as an integral part of their industrial<br />
process. We don't just sell ozone generators-we supply<br />
ozone know-how and expertise that help our customers<br />
succeed with their ozone application. In addition, we<br />
work closely with customers who have unique<br />
applications and needs, ensuring they get a solution that<br />
works properly and efficiently. We offer thoughtful service<br />
and support not only to our established worldwide<br />
Page 8<br />
customer base, but also to others who have an<br />
application requiring an ozone solution."<br />
The paid video gives a very positive impression of the<br />
ozone industry. The video can still be viewed on the World<br />
Business Review website, www.wbrtv.com. The ozone<br />
video can be found in Show #1609, last segment.<br />
Applications for ozone in food processing<br />
abound<br />
As reported in the July 2005 edition of Water<br />
Technology magazine, industry experts say the<br />
potential use of ozone in food-processing industries is<br />
likely to grow over time as food processors become<br />
more familiar with the technology and its capabilities.<br />
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has<br />
identified the following as some of the emerging<br />
applications:<br />
1. Eggs. Sanitize whole shell eggs to eliminate potentially<br />
pathogenic bacteria.<br />
2. Fruits and vegetables. Treat pre-process wash water for<br />
fruits and vegetables.<br />
3. Poultry. Sanitize poultry chiller water to reduce<br />
potential pathogenic bacteria, and recondition<br />
overflow water for recycling and reuse (within US<br />
Department of Agriculture guidelines).<br />
4. Wineries. Sanitize cold water, replacing traditional hot<br />
water and harsh chemical sanitation methods.<br />
5. Grain. Using ozone as a substitute for chlorinated<br />
water to control bacteria and mold in grain<br />
processing.<br />
6. Fish. Treatment of water in aquaculture tanks greatly<br />
reduces foaming even without purifying the water.<br />
7. Seafood. Using ozone for seafood processing<br />
applications, including shellfish depuration, fish<br />
pumps, fillet-line spray bars and surimi mixing tanks.<br />

<strong>No</strong>te: The IOA is offering a CD which gives<br />
applications case studies on many of the above uses<br />
of ozone. For more details see pg. 17.

Report from AWWA Conference<br />
During June 12-16, 2005 some 12,700 delegates attended<br />
the 124th AWWA Annual Conference and Exposition in<br />
San Francisco, California. This conference was an<br />
excellent forum for learning the latest in research,<br />
technology and equipment developments and interacting<br />
with water professionals.<br />
Page 9<br />
At the opening session, AWWA Executive Director Jack<br />
Hoffbuhr addressed the challenges facing the AWWA<br />
including a worldwide water shortage. New challenges<br />
are the presence of pharmaceuticals/endocrine disruptors<br />
in the water supplies.<br />
AWWA President Kathryn McCain focused on the value<br />
of water. In many locations, water is not always accessible<br />
or safe to drink. The AWWA supports legislation and<br />
water rates to recognize this value.<br />
Regulatory Updates<br />
Several presentations were made by regulatory experts on<br />
the status of current and upcoming legislation.<br />
• The Groundwater rule is considering a multiple<br />
barrier approach to meeting the proposed<br />
regulations. The rule should be finalized in 2006<br />
• The stage 2 DBP (Disinfection byproducts) rule will<br />
be finalized in 2006. Focus is on Haloacetic acids<br />
(80 ppb max running average) and trihalomethanes<br />
(60 ppb).
<strong>Ozone</strong> News <strong>Vol</strong>ume <strong>33</strong>, <strong>No</strong>. 4<br />
• In February 2005, EPA published a contaminant list.<br />
Of specific emphasis are:<br />
• Lead – Regulation changes to be proposed in<br />
early 2006<br />
• Perchlorate – EPA is trying to determine whether<br />
to regulate. 26 states have found chlorate in excess of<br />
4 ppb.<br />
• MTBE – An advisory committee recommends a<br />
maximum limit of 20-40 ppb. A draft health<br />
assessment is being completed.<br />
• Arsenic rule. This rule was promulgated in 2001 and<br />
full compliance is required in some cases in early<br />
2006. EPA has held webcasts explaining the rule and<br />
is now conducting on-site workshops in Phoenix,<br />
Sacramento, Omaha, South Bend and Anchorage.<br />
These workshops provide information to users on<br />
technologies to remove Arsenic.<br />
A summary of the regulations and their compliance dates<br />
can be found at:<br />
www.epa.gov/safewater/regs.html<br />
Technical Sessions<br />
Industry News(cont’d)<br />
A number of technical presentations focused on ozone or<br />
related applications, a summary of which follows:<br />
J. Dan Shannon, CDM, discussed the expansion of the<br />
Fort Worth, TX Rolling Hills Water Plant from 160 to 200<br />
mgd capacity and the installation of a raw water<br />
ozonation facility. Ozonation was selected to meet current<br />
and future regulatory requirements, reduce tastes and<br />
odors, and improve overall treated water quality. Using<br />
LOX as the feed gas, the plant achieved 4.28 kwh/lb at<br />
10% ozone concentration. The sum of power and oxygen<br />
costs was $0.58/lb at this concentration.<br />
<strong>Ozone</strong>-enhanced biofiltration for geosmin and MIB<br />
removal was reviewed by Kerry Meyer, Carollo Engineers,<br />
and Debbie Metz, Greater Cincinnati Water Works. Pilot<br />
studies were made on the City of Boulder’s 63rd Street<br />
Water Treatment Plant and full-scale biofilter (pre GAC)<br />
tests were conducted at Cincinnati.<br />
There is increasing concern on the presence of<br />
pharmaceuticals and personal care products in drinking<br />
water. The effectiveness of treatment technologies in<br />
removing pharmaceuticals was reviewed by Shane Snyder,<br />
Page 10<br />
Southern Nevada Water Authority. <strong>Ozone</strong> is able to<br />
remove most of the products in question; byproduct<br />
formation still requires study. UV works on several<br />
products; UV combined with hydrogen peroxide is more<br />
effective. There has been success with the combination of<br />
membranes with UV.<br />
The Southern Nevada Water Authority is also facing<br />
challenges from the upcoming Stage 2 D/DBP regulations<br />
and the declining level of Lake Mead. Disinfection<br />
byproduct control strategies for this water authority were<br />
presented by Mark Janey, CH2M Hill. One interim<br />
solution may be ozone plus biologically active filtration.<br />
Update on <strong>Ozone</strong>, UV and Drinking Water<br />
A special session titled “An update on <strong>Ozone</strong>, UV and<br />
Drinking Water was jointly conducted by the AWWA,<br />
IOA and IUVA.<br />
Craig Thompson, Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, reviewed<br />
“Thirty Years of Experience Using <strong>Ozone</strong> in Water
<strong>Ozone</strong> News <strong>Vol</strong>ume <strong>33</strong>, <strong>No</strong>.4<br />
Industry News(cont’d)<br />
Treatment in the United States”. Currently there are<br />
approximately 204 drinking water plants (>1mgd) using<br />
ozone treating 9,200 mgd water and capable of producing<br />
340,000 lb/day ozone. By 2010, some 240 facilities are<br />
anticipated trating 13,000mgd water and producing<br />
420,000 lb/day ozone. Within the next five years it is<br />
expected that 1/3 of the water treatment capacity will<br />
involve ozone in some form. An ozone use questionnaire<br />
is available for users to input data to update the survey at<br />
http:/kjweb1.kennedyjenks.com/ioasurvey<br />
Kerwin Rakness, Process Applications outlined the<br />
upcoming AWWA <strong>Ozone</strong> Handbook. This handbook is<br />
intended to serve as a practical reference for anyone using<br />
ozone, or planning to use ozone. More details on this<br />
handbook are outlined elsewhere in this issue.<br />
Susan Teefy, Water Quality and Technical Solutions, Inc.<br />
surveyed ozone use in the San Francisco Bay Area.<br />
Robert Hulsey, Black & Veatch outlined the combining of<br />
ozone and UV research into a full-scale design. With UV,<br />
the biggest challenge is how to measure UV effectiveness.<br />

There are currently 45 drinking water plants in the USA<br />
using UV. AWWARF Project 2749 is evaluating the<br />
combined usage of ozone and UV in drinking water<br />
treatment. A full-scale design was made of the Lake<br />
Pleasant, AZ water treatment plant. The treatment<br />
sequence of this plant, which is under construction, is<br />
Flocculation – Ozonation – Biological Filtration – GAC<br />
– UV.<br />
Joop Kruithof, IOA President, reviewed the use of UV for<br />
disinfection at the PWN Water Supply Co. IJssel water<br />
treatment plant, <strong>No</strong>rth Holland. <strong>Ozone</strong> was not used at<br />
this plant.<br />
James Bolton, IUVA, presented the upcoming<br />
AWWA/UV Handbook.<br />
Equipment Exhibition<br />
There were approximately 1000 exhibits at the conference,<br />
slightly more than the 2004 conference. Exhibitors with<br />
ozone equipment or interests included:<br />
• Analytical Technology<br />
• Applied Process Technology<br />
• Best Sulfur Products<br />
• Carus Chemical Co.<br />
• Emerson Process/Rosemont Analytical<br />

AWWA in 2006 will occur in San Antonio, TX June 11-<br />
15. AWWA 2005 appears to have met the expectations of<br />
the attendees. Those in the ozone business were<br />
optimistic about the upcoming year as the municipal<br />
business appears to be stronger and the industrial markets<br />
are still evolving.<br />

Address of Prof. Tsuno to the JOA<br />
I have been inaugurated to be the President of Japan<br />
<strong>Ozone</strong> <strong>Association</strong> (JOA) from June 1st, 2005,<br />
following Professor Tamon Ishibashi and Professor<br />
Isao Somiya. I will do my best for more and more<br />
development of JOA with respecting the distinguished<br />
services and base established by the two past<br />
presidents for JOA.<br />
Though ozonation technologies have been used in<br />
wide fields in Japan, such as water purification,<br />
sewage treatment, industrial wastewater treatment,<br />
night soil treatment, treatment of wastewater

permeated from landfill site of solid waste, pool and spa,<br />
aquarium, preservation of environmental water and so<br />
on, they have not yet been defined as a main and<br />
indispensable technology for treatment of water and<br />
wastewater even in above mentioned fields. We must try<br />
to inform the advantages and features of ozone and<br />
stimulate understanding to ozone based on the fortune of<br />
information and knowledge accumulated until now in<br />
JOA. We are also requested to collect and develop new<br />
information and scientific knowledge.<br />
JOA holds an annual conference and seminar on ozone<br />
science and technology including a training course every<br />
year. It is also important to establish the opportunities<br />
and systems to collaborate among private company<br />
engineers and researchers, government officers and<br />
university professors in study, development and<br />
application of ozone-associated technologies. Activities<br />
of proposing and training safety standard for ozone<br />
application and of authorization of ozone generators<br />
with high safety level are indispensable from the concept<br />
that excellent technologies should be adopted with high<br />
safety and efficiency. Seminars on ozone for citizens<br />
should also be planned.<br />
JOA has been trying to spread new international<br />
information and knowledge by collaborating with IOA<br />
through several activities, for example distributing IOA<br />
<strong>Ozone</strong> News and the IOA Journal of <strong>Ozone</strong>: Science &<br />
Engineering and attending IOA Conferences. We are<br />
planning to hold the 19th IOA World Congress in Japan<br />
in 2009. We would like to ask IOA members for their<br />
kind guidance, support and help for JOA.<br />

<strong>Ozone</strong> Conference in Russia<br />
The First Russian Conference “<strong>Ozone</strong> and Other<br />
Environment Friendly Oxidants: Science and<br />
Technologies” was held at the Chemistry Department<br />
of M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University June 7-<br />
9, 2005 The Conference was devoted to the 250th<br />
anniversary of Moscow State University.<br />
255 participants took part in the Conference. Apart<br />
from Russian participants, scientists from Ukraine,<br />
Belarus, Latvia, Kyrgyzstan, Bulgaria, Poland and<br />
Singapore took part in the Conference. The Program<br />
of the conference included 9 plenary lectures<br />
concerning various aspects of ozone application, 83<br />
oral reports and 37 poster presentations.<br />
Four sections on the different aspects of ozone<br />
application were organized in the Conference. The<br />
first section was devoted to synthesis and analysis of<br />
ozone, ozone generator configurations, processes and<br />
apparatus. In the second section “Scientific<br />
elaboration and ozone technologies” reports with a<br />
technological character were presented. These reports<br />
were related to ozone application in hydrometallurgy,<br />
agriculture, organic synthesis and other<br />
manufacturing. Ecological problems resolved by<br />
means of ozone as well as ozone application for water<br />
treatment and wastewater purification were also in the<br />
scope of the third section. The forth section was<br />
completely devoted to ozone application in medicine.<br />
As to the plenary lectures in the first place we would<br />
mark the lecture of Dr. S.D. Razumovskii’ “Reactions<br />
of <strong>Ozone</strong> with Aromatic and Poly-conjugated<br />
Systems”. The influence of the minor differences in<br />
the structure of a number of allied aromatic<br />
hydrocarbons on the reaction with ozone was studied.<br />
The mechanism of ozone reaction with the similar<br />
structure of fullerenes C60 and C70 is not the same.<br />
The presence of the substitutes in the aromatic<br />
structures enlarges the amount of the primary and the<br />
secondary products. So, besides the molecular<br />
channels of labile intermediates transformations the<br />
radical and the chain-type processes take place.<br />
The excellent lecture of Ph.D. K.V. Kozlov “Modern<br />
Insight to Mechanism of Barrier Discharge in Oxygen<br />
Page 18<br />
– Nitrogen Mixtures” in the popular and at the same<br />
time in the scientific form gave the account of the<br />
modern insight into the detailed mechanism of the<br />
barrier discharge in oxygen and in air.<br />
The lecture of Dr. S.N. Tkachenko (M.V. Lomonosov<br />
Moscow State University, Chemistry Department)<br />
“Homogeneous and Heterogeneous <strong>Ozone</strong><br />
Decomposition” was devoted to the regularities of<br />
photochemical, thermal and catalytic ozone<br />
decomposition. The field of ozone decomposition<br />
occurring on oxide cement-containing catalyst (COC)<br />
was determined both under high and low temperatures<br />
in the flowing reactor filled by COC granules. The<br />
mechanism of ozone decomposition on the surface of<br />
COC was proposed. The process was found to be<br />
limited by the desorption process of the reaction<br />
product (oxygen) from the surface. In the work were<br />
determined the lifetimes of adsorbed oxygen and<br />
ozone molecules. The heat emanation induced by<br />
ozone destruction on COC covering the bead-type<br />
thermistors was also simulated. The rate constants of<br />
the principle stages of the heterogeneous ozone<br />
decomposition on Mn - Cu catalysts were evaluated in<br />
the work.<br />
The lecture of Dr. N.M. Lihterova and co-authors<br />
addressed the role of ozone in relation to processing of<br />
heavy petroleum raw materials by ionizing irradiation.<br />
The investigations revealed that the pre-ozonation has<br />
changed the mechanism and the route of the radiolysis<br />
reactions, completely. At the same time the changes of<br />
the colloid structure of the heavy petroleum raw<br />
materials were observed. Besides, the drastic decrease<br />
in vanadylporphyrine concentration also took place.<br />
Probably the following investigations in this way could<br />
allow development of new technology of petroleum<br />
raw materials treatment.<br />
It is necessary to draw attention to the lecture of Prof.<br />
V.A. Maximov and A.G. Kulikov concerning the<br />
principle achievements in ozonetherapy. The authors<br />
considered the possibilities of this new perspective<br />
method of the medical treatment of a number of<br />
diseases (atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, hepatitis,<br />
ischemic insult, ulcer of the stomach, osteomyelitis<br />
and also in cosmetology).<br />
As regards to the section reports we would like to draw<br />
attention to the several most interesting works. In the<br />
first section the numerous reports informed about the
<strong>Ozone</strong> News <strong>Vol</strong>ume <strong>33</strong>, <strong>No</strong>. 4<br />
IOA News (cont’d)<br />
construction of the high-frequency ozone generator with<br />
adiabatic cooling (by Joule – Thomson Method). This<br />
idea has appeared in the literature many times, but the<br />
authors (Shapiro S.V. and Amirkhanov A.Sh. from Ufa<br />
state service institute) have successfully utilized this<br />
method of the reaction gases cooling.<br />
Many very interesting reports were presented in the<br />
second section of the Conference. This section focused on<br />
the intensification of hydrometallurgical processes by<br />
means of ozone (the investigation of L.N. Krylova and<br />
colleagues –Moscow state institute of Steel and Alloys),<br />
the successful application of ozone in the processes of<br />
gaseous fuel combustion by research by Ukraine<br />
scientists, and a number of reports on ozone application<br />
in biochemistry for the synthesis of new compounds. This<br />
research was presented by Bashkortostan chemists. It is<br />
necessary to note the high professional level of these<br />
investigations. Great attention was attracted to the report<br />
of Ph.D. V.V.Timofeev (Chemistry Department of M.V.<br />
Lomonosov Moscow State University) on ozone<br />
reactions with organic compounds in the supercritical<br />
carbon dioxide region. Oxidation processes under these<br />
conditions were shown to occur through the modified<br />
mechanism. The author noted the high selectivity, good<br />
yield of the products. It allows the production of organic<br />
isocyanates.<br />
Among the applied research of this section, it is necessary<br />
to note the thorough report of Moscow and Tomsk<br />
scientists (the lecturer A. Golubkovich) concerned with<br />
ozone – air mixtures application in the process of the<br />
grain drying. The technology is introduced into practice.<br />
It allows a power reduction of 20% and shortening the<br />
drying duration time to one third in comparison with the<br />
air.<br />
The third section included a number of clearly scientific<br />
reports (reports of I.M. Piskarev, G.S. Stolyarenko and<br />
G.I. Rogozhkin). The last author proposed the<br />
nontraditional method of the quantitative evaluation of<br />
the kinetics and the effectiveness of water ozonation. In<br />
particular, it focused on the concept of ozone dose.<br />
The report by V.L. Budovich and E.B. Polotnuyk on<br />
indoors air ozonation led to lively discussion for and<br />
against the concept. The authors emphasized that in this<br />
case ozone application is accompanied by the number of<br />
Page 19<br />
concurrent effects, so the every individual case should be<br />
investigated specially.<br />
A resolution was made on the creation of Russian Fund<br />
“<strong>Ozone</strong> Society”- <strong>Association</strong> “<strong>Ozone</strong> and Other<br />
Environment Friendly Oxidants. Science and<br />
Technologies during the general meeting of the<br />
participants on the 7th of June. About 45 regions of the<br />
Russian Federation will be presented in the Fund.<br />
Academician of RAN, Prof. Valery V. Lunin was elected<br />
as the President of the <strong>Association</strong>. Vice- presidents are<br />
Ph.D. Vadim G. Samoilovoch, Dr. Sergei N. Tkachenko,<br />
and Prof. Stanislav D. Razumovskii’. The central office of<br />
the <strong>Association</strong> will be in the Chemistry Department of<br />
Moscow State University.<br />

<strong>Ozone</strong> Usage Database<br />
The Pan American Group IOA Municipal Water<br />
Treatment Task Force is assembling a database of<br />
ozone installations in the US and Canada. This<br />
includes the use of ozone for both municipal drinking<br />
water and wastewater. This database is currently in<br />
the process of being posted on the IOA website for use<br />
by members. In order to complete the database and<br />
ensure that the data included are current, an ozone<br />
questionnaire has been developed.<br />
All water treatment plant operators and engineers are<br />
requested and encouraged to fill out this<br />
questionnaire. It is available at the following website.<br />
http://kjweb1.kennedyjenks.com/ioasurvey<br />
The above chart shows some of the information that<br />
will be generated from this questionnaire. In 1975,<br />
there was one drinking water plant using ozone,<br />
treating 4 mgd water, with an ozone capacity of 50<br />
lb/day. In 2005, there are more than 204 water<br />
treatment plants using ozone treating 9,200 mgd water<br />
with 340,000 lb/day ozone (installed capacity). In<br />
2010, 220 plants are anticipated, treating 12,600 mgd<br />
water with 420,000 lb/day ozone. The charges also<br />
illustrate the increase in size of individual ozone<br />
installations.<br />

Application of <strong>Ozone</strong> and <strong>Ozone</strong> Resistant Microfiltration Membranes<br />
for the Reuse of Secondary Effluent<br />

Abstract<br />
A new reclamation system by combining microfiltration (MF) membrane with ozone was developed<br />
to obtain a better water quality in sewerage reuse. The MF membrane was a hollow fiber made from<br />
polyvinylidenefluoride that has a high ozone resistance. The reclamation system using this MF<br />
membrane together with ozone could provide high filtration flux of 5 m3 /m2. d and a stable operation<br />
without chemical cleaning for long terms. This is because ozone decomposed or denatured a part of<br />
organic materials in the sewerage water and reduced fouling of the membrane surface. The water<br />
obtained by this reclamation system has a high quality and excellent in security against pathogenic<br />
organisms. This system was constructed at Shibaura water reclamation center, bureau of sewerage of<br />
Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The reclamation water of a high grade has been supplied to the<br />
redeveloped area as toilet flush water and cooling water since April 2004.<br />
Keywords<br />
<strong>Ozone</strong>; Reuse; Reclamation; <strong>Ozone</strong> Resistant Microfiltration Membrane;<br />
Introduction<br />
The effective usage of water resources and energy in<br />
sewage works is desired and the ability to recycle water is<br />
a priority to assist in the problem of global water<br />
shortage. The secondary effluent from wastewater<br />
treatment plants is a valuable water resource and its reuse<br />
is given priority in this issue. The reclamation water is<br />
used a in variety of applications such as landscape<br />
irrigation, environmental uses, industrial activities,<br />
agricultural irrigation, snow melting use and toilet<br />
flushing etc. In case of water shortage areas and the<br />
redeveloped area in a large city, the use of reclamation<br />
water for environmental uses and toilet flushing is<br />
increasing. It is necessary for these reclamation waters to<br />
have a high quality, as human beings have more<br />
opportunities for being in direct touch with them.<br />
Therefore, bacteria and pathogenic organisms must be<br />
taken into consideration in addition to suspended<br />
matters, color and odor.<br />
Membrane filtration is a solid-liquid separation method<br />
with high performance. There are few instances of<br />
membranes in sewerage reclamation division, as it is likely<br />
to be fouled by the organic matters and a higher cost than<br />
that of other separation methods. <strong>Ozone</strong> has a strong<br />
Page 21<br />
chemical oxidation property. <strong>Ozone</strong> is expected to<br />
decompose organic materials in the water and reduce a<br />
fouling of the membrane surface. The new reclamation<br />
system using MF membrane together with ozone was<br />
developed and introduced into the sewerage treatment<br />
plant.<br />

The reclamation system flow<br />
As shown in Figure 1, the developed reclamation system<br />
consists of a pre ozone process, bio filtration process,<br />
ozone oxidation process and MF membrane process. Pre<br />
ozone and bio filtration treat a part of organic matters<br />
and nitrogen in the secondary effluent and have a<br />
function to decrease ozone dosage in following ozone<br />
treatment. <strong>Ozone</strong> can decompose color and odor by<br />
oxidation function and disinfect bacteria. MF membrane<br />
is a hollow fiber with pore size of 0.1μm and can remove<br />
micro suspended matters including bacteria and<br />
Cryptosporidium.<br />
Features of MF membrane<br />
MF membrane is made from polyvinylidenefluoride that<br />
has a high ozone resistance. In addition, the membrane<br />
module is made from silicon that has an ozone resistance.<br />
Therefore, this membrane can filter the suspended water<br />
that includes dissolved ozone.<br />
Experimental Methods<br />
To clarify treatment efficacy and performance<br />
characteristics, pilot test was carried out during 5 months.<br />
The flow of test plant is shown in Figure 2. Treatment<br />
capacity was approximately 30 m 3/day. The treated water<br />
Figure 2. The experimental flow sheet of the reclamation system.<br />
Page 22<br />
sampled from each treatment process was analyzed<br />
regularly. The analyzed items were BOD, COD,<br />
heterotrophes, Escherichia coliform, fecal coliform,<br />
ammonia nitrogen, color and so on. In addition,<br />
Cryptosporidium was also examined to prove treatment<br />
efficacy.<br />
Regarding membrane operation, the behavior of the<br />
transmembrane pressure (TMP) was examined with<br />
change of dissolved ozone concentration on membrane<br />
surface. After deciding adequate dissolved ozone<br />
concentration for preventing the rise of TMP, the<br />
continuous filtration test was carried out with controlling<br />
dissolved ozone concentration automatically.<br />
Results and Discussion<br />
Treatment efficacy of this reclamation system<br />
The results of analyzed water quality are shown in Table<br />
I. Heterotrophes, escherichia coliform and fecal coliform<br />
are sterilized in the ozone treatment process. BOD is<br />
removed to 87%. Color is reduced to 8 (c.u.) on ozone<br />
treatment process and furthermore 1(c.u.) on membrane<br />
process. This is because ozone coagulates a part of color<br />
substances. Most of the ammonia nitrogen is nitrified by<br />
the bio filtration process and converted to nitrate<br />
nitrogen. The membrane process can remove not only
<strong>Ozone</strong> News <strong>Vol</strong>ume <strong>33</strong>, <strong>No</strong>. 4<br />
Table I. Treated water quality in each treatment process<br />
suspended matters but also ova or larva of organisms.<br />
As a result, the final treatment water can provide a<br />
better water quality than that of Japanese reuse<br />
standards. The outbreak of Chironomid in<br />
reclamation water could be also eliminated.<br />
Treatment efficacy of Cryptosporidium oocysts<br />
The determinations of Cryptosporidium oocysts were<br />
carried three times for the duration of continuous test.<br />
The results are shown in Table II. The determinations<br />
could not prove whether Cryptosporidium oocysts<br />
detected in ozone treatment water were active or<br />
inactive. But it was reported in other research<br />
(Oomura etc,2000) that Cryptosporidium oocysts was<br />
inactivated to approximately 4 log by ozone, as shown<br />
in Table III. Therefore, it is considered that<br />
Cryptosporidium oocysts are inactivated by this ozone<br />
system with C.T. value of more than 13 (mg/L?min.).<br />
Moreover, Cryptosporidium oocysts in MF<br />
membrane treatment water are not detected at all.<br />
This reveals that ozone and MF membrane provide<br />
double hygienic barrier against pathogenic organisms.<br />

Effect of dissolved ozone on TMP<br />
The change of TMP (transmembrane pressure) with a<br />
variation of dissolved ozone on the membrane surface<br />
is shown in Figure 3. It is evident that the behavior of<br />
TMP is influenced by dissolved ozone concentration.<br />
That is, keeping the dissolved ozone concentration on<br />
the membrane surface at 1.0mg/L can prevent the rise<br />
of TMP. Therefore, this reveals that the dissolved<br />
ozone may decompose or modify organic materials on<br />
the membrane surface and reduce fouling of<br />
membrane. The dissolved ozone concentration of<br />
1.0mg/L is necessary to keep the stable operation of<br />
MF membrane system.<br />
Page 24<br />
The change of TMP during the continuous filtration test<br />
is shown in Figure 4. The dissolved ozone concentration<br />
on the membrane surface was controlled approximately<br />
1.0 mg/L. Membrane flux was 5.0 m3/m2. d. TMP doesn’t<br />
rise rapidly and change slowly. At an elapse of 3,800<br />
hours, TMP goes to only 120kPa. This value is less than<br />
TMP of 200kPa, at which chemical cleaning is necessary.<br />
This proves that a stable membrane operation at high flux<br />
in the long term is obtained by controlling the dissolved<br />
ozone concentration of 1.0 mg/L on the membrane<br />
surface.<br />
Conclusions<br />
The reclamation system using MF membrane together<br />
with ozone could provide high filtration flux of 5 m3 /m2. d<br />
and a stable operation without chemical cleaning in the<br />
long term. The water obtained by this reclamation system<br />
was a high quality and excellent in security against<br />
pathogenic organisms.<br />
This system has following superior features:<br />
1. The reclamation water obtained has a high quality<br />
without color, odor and suspended matters.<br />
Furthermore, it is excellent in security against<br />
pathogenic organisms.<br />
2. An economical membrane filtration system can be<br />
designed based on higher filtration flux.<br />
3. This system can be installed in a limited space.<br />
Based on the above-mentioned data, the reclamation<br />
plant was constructed at Shibaura water reclamation<br />
center, bureau of sewerage of Tokyo Metropolitan<br />
Government and began to operate in April 2004. This<br />
plant has treatment capacity of 4,300 m 3/d. MF<br />
membrane units are shown in Figure 5 (page 30). The<br />
reclamation water is distributed to the redeveloped areas<br />
in Shinagawa, Shiodome and Oosaki as toilet flashing<br />
water and environmental uses. The water quality of<br />
reclamation water obtained is much better than that of<br />
existing sand filters and gets a good reputation by users.<br />
In addition, the heat island phenomenon is now at stake<br />
in highly urbanized areas. Sprinkling water on the roads<br />
gives effect of preventing temperature on the roads and in<br />
the atmosphere from going up. This reclamation water is<br />
used as a measure of the heat island phenomenon. In the<br />
future, the reclamation water with high water quality is<br />
desired to apply progressively for many kinds of reuse.
