The facility will treat up to 180 million gallons of water a day and will serve nearly a million people when it becomes operational in 2004. Trojan will supply 13 UV systems to CH2MHILL Constructors Inc., which is building the facility.
Trojan's water treatment systems use UV light to destroy water-borne pathogens. Unlike chlorine, UV light does not create disinfection by-products (DBPs), the company said. Some DBPs, such as trihalomethanes, have been linked to increased risk of cancer and birth defects.
