Calgon Carbon to Supply UV Disinfection Systems to US State

Calgon Carbon has been awarded a contract by the Indianapolis and Fort Wayne cities in Indiana, US, to supply Sentinel ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems at drinking water production plants serving their communities.

Indianapolis will install 12 Sentinel systems at its Fall Creek plant to increase protection against Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and other surface water pathogens, and will treat up to 44 million gallons of drinking water per day.

Fort Wayne will install three Chevron UV reactors at its Three Rivers water filtration plant as part of a retrofitting project. The UV reactors will treat up to 72 million gallons of water per day and are scheduled to be installed in June 2012.

Both systems feature UV intensity sensors to ensure accurate delivery of UV dose, an automatic quartz sleeve cleaning system, and a fully automated control system.
