PROZONE Advanced Oxidation Processing units save city of Klamath Falls, Oregon tens of thousands of dollars annually

Prozone is best known for making swimming pools and spas crystal clear and clean.  The same technology we're famous for in swimming pools has been applied to a myriad of sanitation issues.  Below we look at the application of Prozone's Advanced Oxidation Processing to waste water treatment.  While the mess cleaned up is bigger than we typically see in the Pool and Spa industry, the savings and efficiency of AOP over chlorine remains.

Problem:  Chlorine treatment of waste water for Hydrogen Sulfate was expensive and ineffective for the city of Klamath Falls, Oregon.  With $10,000/month in chemical expense, the H2S levels were averaging 19.33 PPM at 4.5 miles downstream of pump station.

Solution:  Titus Industrial Group, Inc. reached out to Prozone Water Products on the city's behalf.  Engineers collaborated to replace chlorine with Prozone's Advanced Oxidation Processing units.  Three units were installed on 10/31/2013.

 Result:  $16,000 ROI achieved in first six weeks and maintenance costs are cut by 90% annually.  H2S levels dropped from average of 19.33 PPM to 8 PPM.  FOG in pump chamber and corrosion/sludge in wet well are eliminated.  Odor in wet well significantly reduced. 







AOP eliminates more than twice the impurities of chlorine and saves Klamath Falls $100,000 in the very first year of operation. Saving grows in year two after the initial start-up costs have been returned.
