Ozone Destruction System Replacement – Noland WRRF The City of Fayetteville utilizes ozone to eliminate potentially harmful bacteria and organic compounds from the millions of gallons of treated water produced by the Paul R Noland Wastewater Treatment facility every day. This unique treatment process ensures an unmatched level of protection for the White River Watershed. 1 The use of an ozone destruct unit is an essential safety measure when dealing with high concentrations of ozone. The original units have operated every hour of every day for nearly 15 years in a highly corrosive environment at the Noland Wastewater Treatment Facility. Since their installation, it has been determined that the original units are undersized to meet the current ozone destruction requirements. Discussion on purchasing replacement units.
