SAN DIEGO, Calif. (Dec. 2, 2015) – Xylem, a global water technology company, has announced that its Wedeco Duron ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system has received conditional acceptance from the California Water Boards’ Division of Drinking Water (DDW). The California Water Board’s DDW regulates public water systems, oversees water recycling projects, permits water treatment devices and supports and promotes water system security.
As California continues to suffer from one of the most severe droughts on record, the state continues to look for additional water sources. Water reuse technology produces high-quality water at a lower life-cycle cost than developing a new water supply. It also delivers a drought-resistant water source with economic and environmental benefits.
“The Wedeco Duron UV disinfection system is now available to help California address water shortages related to the prolonged drought by cost-efficiently providing purified water for drinking purposes,” said Kirsten Meyer, Xylem product manager. “The Duron UV system provides substantial energy savings compared with conventional systems due to its overall efficiency and adaptability to changing operating conditions, making it an ideal solution to help create a sustainable water supply in California.”
Water disinfected by Xylem’s Wedeco Duron UV system meets the standards as required by Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) for recycled waters.
Supported by extensive third-party validation, Xylem’s Wedeco Duron UV system can be fine-tuned to match a customer’s water quality, operation conditions and discharge requirements.
