There are new "exotics" entering the nation's water supply that we believe can >be destroyed via ozone treatment but the existing processes for making ozone >are both expensive and troubling. Why not use chlorine? Ozone was tried in the past. It does not persist in the water supply. Chlorine lasts longer. The persistence allows it to get to bugs that are partially shielded. The thing to do is remove suspended solids. The nasty bugs tend to hide in the particles. Then apply a persistent chemical like chlorine. Ammonia can be also added. It tends to keep the Chlorine in solution. Those nasty zebra mussels tend to clam up when exposed to a chemical toxin. Its a problem. I had a class D sewage license in the state of PA. After 9/11 they required me to go through a criminal background check. I did this and maintained my license for another 2 years. Then they required me to attend continuing training. I am an Electrical Engineer and they suggested that I take courses in basic electricity. It was not worth it to me. I have been living in North Carolina and no longer work in water treatment. I dropped the license. I am waiting for the requirement for continuing training on my PE license to come. When that happens they can have that license to. I never used it. In order to obtain a sewage license in PA license I had to have some operating experience in a class C waste treatment facility. My employer at that time arranged it. I was to be in charge of a wheel plant and this charge included a package class D waste treatment plant. There at the class C city of Johnstown plant I saw something really uckey. It appears that some people tie a knot in rubbers so they do leak where they place them. They later flush them. They wind up floating at the waste treatment facility. Some of them ferment and fill up with gas. They look like beach balls floating on slime. Yuck. Frank Z **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.
