Wastewater Solutions said its Berson InLine+ UV system, the first of its kind to be approved globally, could prove important to solving water shortage problems recently experienced by countries such as Australia and the US, reports Fluid Handling.
The California Department of Public Health formally approved the use of the technology for
wastewater reuse applications, such as post-filtration and reverse osmosis.
