Abstract:
A water decontamination process, comprising the steps of:injecting a pressurized flow of hydrogen peroxide into a flow of contaminated water such that the pressure, velocity, and direction of the injected hydrogen peroxide approximately matches the pressure, velocity and direction of the contaminated water flow, said contaminated water comprising oxidizable contaminants and having an inlet water pressure greater than 0 psig;injecting a pressurized flow of ozone into the flow of contaminated water such that the pressure, velocity, and direction of the injected ozone approximately matches the pressure, velocity and direction of the contaminated water flow;mixing said ozone with the contaminated water flow at approximately said inlet water pressure to produce a mixture at least 99% homogeneous in ozone and hydrogen peroxide; andrepeating the injection of ozone and mixing at approximately the inlet water pressure such that less than 20 ppb of bromate is formed.
