Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method relating to a modular water treatment apparatus that utilizes sidestream injection coupled to static mixing are described. The apparatus, system, and method utilizes ozone, with or without hydrogen peroxide, for effective disinfection and/or decontamination of contaminants present in waste water. The disinfected, decontaminated water is suitable for reuse.

Abstract: A method of water treatment include mixing a hydrogen peroxide solution into a flow of water and subsequently mixing and dissolving ozone into the flow of water. The hydrogen peroxide solution may be conditioned with a water-soluble hydroxide salt. After the mixing and dissolving of the ozone into the flow of water, at least a portion of the hydrogen peroxide solution dissociates into hydroperoxide ions at a dissociation rate, the hydroperoxide ions react with the ozone to form hydroxyl radicals, and the hydroxyl radicals react with organic contaminants in the flow of water to remove the organic contaminants. The flow of water is then directed into a contact basin to facilitate the further decay of ozone.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus is provided for thermally reacting chemicals in a matrix bed of porous inert media. The reaction is conducted in an apparatus that is capable of establishing and maintaining a non-planar reaction wave within the matrix bed. The positioning of the non-planar reaction wave permits the interior surfaces of the vessel to be maintained at a temperature at least above 175.degree. F. The apparatus includes a vessel that contains the matrix bed; one or more feed tubes that extend into the matrix bed, where preferably an exterior portion of each of the feed tubes that passes through the vessel is insulated; an exhaust outlet; and a means for heating the matrix bed. The non-planar reaction wave is established by heating at least a portion of the matrix bed to at least the reaction temperature of the chemicals and feeding a process stream containing the chemicals to be reacted into the feed tubes.
