Abstract

This chapter is a review of drinking water treatment technologies and their unit costs as a function of scale. These are classified into six classes, based on contaminants removed. We find that a UV-based treatment plant is cost-effective.

Ozone (O3) and its primary reactive products, the hydroxyl free radical (OH*), are strong oxidizing agents. However, ozonation can also lead to the formation of potentially harmful byproducts that include bromate ions (BrO3), aldehydes and peroxides. The use of O3 as an alternative disinfectant to chlorine will not produce chlorinated trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs) or other chlorinated byproducts; but it can react with natural organic matter (NOM) to produce a variety of oxidation byproducts that typically include aldehydes, aldo- and keto-acids, carboxylic acids and peroxides. However, there are technologies that can be used to minimize these byproducts. For more information on the chemistry of ozonation and how to minimize these byproducts, see: http://​www.​wwdmag.​com/​microfiltration/​strategies-minimizing-ozonation-products-drinking-water.

Stockton California remediates its groundwater using Trojan UV Environmental Contamination Treatment, an AOP; their flow rate is 1,100 cubic meters per day.

This information was collected from a number of companies that produce each technology.

Of course if we make the error term multiplicative, then we could estimate the model by simply taking logarithms. But then we would have to assume that the logarithm of the error term is normally distributed. There is no justification for such an assumption. Here we follow the practice of standard statistical models in which the error term is always additive, representing all omitted variables. The objective is to estimate economies of scale given by the estimated exponent in the nonlinear least squares model. This estimated exponent is the constant elasticity, as is well known.

Data were obtained from John Meunier Inc (for HRC), Kruger USA (Actifloc), Trojan Technologies (UV), KOCH Membrane (MF-UF), US Filter, Memcor (MF-UF) and Mainstream Water Solutions Inc. Data for HRC and MF-UF were in US dollars and were converted to Canadian dollars. However, all data were converted to a base year (2008) in Canadian dollars for proper comparison.

In this chapter we do not pursue these costs; POU systems are being investigated in a separate research project.
