World Congress Message
The 1st World Congress on Ozone and Ultraviolet
Technologies is in the books as a success and “Synergies
and Benefits” was an appropriate theme for this joint IOA
and IUVA event.
The basis for this statement is not from a financial
perspective, although there is a surplus, but from
comments received from congress delegates and
accompanying persons, exhibitors, sponsors, and those
that just came to walk the exhibit hall.
The time was right for putting ozone, UV and advanced
oxidation technologies on the stage together. Global
interest and application is at an all time high as evidenced
by the 830 individuals from 32 countries around the
world that attended the World Congress. In fact 30% of
the attendance was from outside the United States.
What brought them to Los Angeles was a very strong
technical program featuring mini-symposia on specific
topics delivering more than 280 papers and the breadth of
the exhibition. The Technical Program Committee
headed by the team of Professors Daniel Smith and
Mohamed Gamal El-Din and Dr. Keisuke Ikehata of the
University of Alberta, Canada are to be commended!

benefits front and center. My feeling is that the markets
expectations for strong applications growth of both
technologies are underestimates. Benefits and synergies
will drive opportunities for all. Continue to tell the story!
One delegate commented to me, “There was something
for everyone”; while others stated that they now
understand how “Ozone and UV work together to the
benefit of so many applications”. An IOA Board member
received a letter from a first time attendee, his SCADA
system supplier. It reads, in part: “…I learned a lot about
both technologies and enjoyed meeting the folks
associated with both organizations. The plant tours we
took on Thursday were great. It is always informative to
see a process in action…” The pre and post congress
workshops were also big hits.

Quoted Dr. Anthony Komaroff, professor of medicine at
Harvard Medical School and editor in chief of Harvard
Health Publications: “The device is likely to be a very
substantial advance for the two million people with
chronic lung disease.”
Their were more than 800 applicants for the 32 awards
given. The awards are to recognize innovations that were
clearly a leap, in terms of both substance and impact.
SeQual Technologies is a long-time member of the IOA

New York City has developed a revised watershed
protection plan including significant investments in water
infrastructures as well as enhancements to and
expansions of already existing projects. It has committed
$300 million for land acquisition and will use
agricultural/forestry easements and land trusts to protect
reservoirs and streams.

EPA Allows NYC to use Unfiltered Drinking
Water and UV Disinfection
The US Environmental Protection Agency has announced
they will continue to allow New York City to continue to
enjoy unfiltered water from the Catskill/Delaware system
for a ten year period provided it continues to ensure the
excellent quality of the water from this system. Due, in
part, to a number of watershed protection enhancements
to the city’s plan, the city has been granted this new
agreement waiving the federal requirement to filter
drinking water from the Catskill/Delaware watershed.
The city will provide continuing support for wastewater
infrastructure initiatives, including completion of
ongoing projects for new wastewater treatment plants,
three new community wastewater treatment projects, and
two new sewer extension projects.
The plans include a schedule to construct an ultraviolet
light (UV) disinfection plant. This requires UV treatment
for the Catskill/Delaware water supply by August of
2012. The addition of UV light to disinfect the water will
provide another layer of health protection for consumers.
The city is still required to filter water from another
system, called the Croton, by constructing a filtration
system in the Bronx to be completed in 2011.
The Safe Drinking Water Act requires drinking water
taken from surface water sources to be filtered to remove
microbial contaminants. EPA can grant a waiver if water
suppliers have an effective watershed control program
and if their water meets strict quality standards. New
York was first given a filtration waiver in 1993 for this
water supply.

Bob Smith-McCollum, director of marketing at Pacific
Ozone, believes the system provides the finest level of
ozone control available to bottlers today. “The elegance of
this system is that it minimizes potential errors,” he said.

Pacific Ozone Helps Bottlers Improve Water
Purifier
The new system for bottlers is the second project of
Pacific Ozone’s collaboration with Calcon. The two
companies have also co developed a system for
mitigating MTBE, a now-banned gasoline additive, and
other ground water pollutants with ozone.
An engineering collaboration between Pacific Ozone
Technology Inc. (Benicia, CA) and Calcon Systems Inc.
(San Ramon, CA) is giving water bottlers improved
control over the amount of ozone they use to kill
microorganisms in spring water.
Source: East Bay Business News
Bottled water sales reached more than $10 billion in
2005. To ensure safety, the water is commonly disinfected
with ozone, much of it generated with industrial systems
produced by companies like privately held Pacific Ozone.
Using ozone to disinfect spring water is safe, but
variables such as the speed of bottling lines and water
temperature can make applying just the right amount
difficult. Using too little can limit shelf life by leading to
potential algae blooms in expired bottled water. Using too
much on water with high levels of bromide, naturally
occurring in some spring waters, can create unsafe levels
of bromate.
The trick for bottlers is to strike a balance, using enough
ozone to sanitize the water but not so much as to create
undesirable amounts of bromate.
Pacific Ozone’s new system, the IOCS05 Integrated
Ozone Contact System , uses a combination of hardware,
electronic and software controls developed with Calcon
Systems. The system senses water conditions at two
points and adjusts pump speeds, valves and ozone
generation accordingly, resulting in tighter control of
ozonation and ultimately, more consistently disinfected
water, meeting or exceeding the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration’s limit of 10 ppb bromate.
“Even a little bit of increase (in bromide) can affect the
bromate level. That’s why it’s important for bottlers to
have the right equipment and the right technology to meet
the FDA’s bromate standard,” said Joe Doss, CEO and
president of the International Bottled Water Association.
So far, Pacific Ozone has placed just one of the new
systems with a bottler. It is showing at the IBWA trade
show in Las Vegas this October.

California Bans In-Home Ozone Air Purifiers
Allen Johnston of EcoQuest said his company was not
allowed under Food and Drug Administration laws to
make claims that the product cured illnesses or eliminated
germs of any kind, and it doesn't.
The following, excerpted from the Los Angeles Times, was
submitted by Cameron Tapp, Chairman of the IOA PAG
Air Treatment Task Force. The comments about ozone in
general create challenges for the IOA.
But he said studies had shown that injecting some ozone
into homes could reduce levels of germs.
On September 27, 2007 the California Air Resources
Board on Thursday banned popular in-home ozone air
purifiers, saying studies have found that they can worsen
conditions such as asthma that marketers claim they help
to prevent.
"Ozone is both safe and effective, and widely endorsed by
safety organizations," he said.
Such claims are false, said UC Irvine inhalation
toxicologist Michael Kleinman. "Ozone is a toxic
contaminant, and does cause significant adverse
health impacts," he said.
An estimated 2% of the state's households have one of the
so-called ozone air purifiers, according to air board staff
research, and the staff estimated that more than 500,000
people had been exposed to levels of ozone above
federally recognized health standards as a result. More
than 2 million California residents have some sort of air
purifier, and other types can be safe and effective, the air
board staff said.
"There are thousands of peer-review studies showing
ozone is dangerous," said Bonnie Holmes-Gen of the
American Lung Assn. of California, who for years led the
drive for regulation.
Those studies have linked ozone exposure to increased
asthma and other potentially deadly respiratory diseases,
permanent lung damage and other health problems.
Outdoor ozone produces smog when it reacts with
sunlight.
"This is a landmark decision," said Mary Nichols,
chairwoman of the Air Resources Board.
"State government needed to set up [its] own standards on
air purifiers because many [marketers] indeed are
deceiving the public," said former Assemblywoman Fran
Pavley, who sponsored a law requiring the board to rein in
so-called ozone generators. "There are reports of ozone
being generated in someone's living room . . . at levels
equivalent to having a Stage 1 smog alert right in your
own house."
There are safe and effective air purifiers, Jenkins said.
The cheapest, and usually the most effective, are socalled HEPA devices also commonly used in hospitals.
They do require maintenance, such as changing filters.
Also sometimes effective are ionizers or electrostatic
precipitators, which can trap dangerous particulates, but
which also can emit ozone as a byproduct, usually at
lower levels than those that will be banned under the new
law.
The new regulation, which takes effect in 2009, will
exempt industrial and commercial uses of ozone
generators, as long as people are not present.
But some board members said that no safe level of
ground-level ozone has ever been identified, and that it
made them uncomfortable to put certification labels on
machines that emit even low levels. The atmospheric
ozone layer, by contrast, is a necessary protective layer
around the Earth.
The machines deliberately inject ozone into a living room
or bedroom, or directly into nasal passages via a personal
breathing device worn around the neck. They have been
marketed on the radio and over the Internet for years
under brand names such as Living Air Purifier, Mountain
Air or Fresh Air.
Board members voted to require their staff to return to
them with results of future research into indoor ozone
exposure to determine if allowable levels should be set
even lower.
The companies also employ direct marketing, in which
salespeople who say they are satisfied consumers go

The Task Forces (Air Treatment(ATTF), AgriFoods(AFTF), Municipal, Website) are functioning
well. The AFTF has posted six User Success Reports
(USR) on the IOA/PAG website. USR candidates are
being reviewed by the ATTF. The Municipal Task
conducted workshops in Nevada and California and
two in Canada. This task force is investigating how to
be more involved with AWWA committees.
Strategic Planning
Prof. Tsuno outlined the work of the strategic planning
committee. Strategic planning is focusing on three areas:
• Enhancement of IOA Activity
• Exploring partnerships with other organizations
• Improve administration
A major outcome of the strategic planning committee is
the recently signed partnering agreement between IOA
and IUVA. These groups will partner in certain key areas
where a commonality of interest exists or where costs
savings could be achieved by both groups.
Emphasis for 2008 will be to expand membership in
Canada and Mexico.

The project has begun. The IOA has received $15K of the
$25K pledged for the project this year. Additional
partners for the project are being solicited.
Publications Committee Report (Reported by Barry
Loeb)
The financial situation for 2007 was reviewed. Although
a deficit is currently projected for 2007, due to some
overpayments by the regional groups in 2006, this may be
reduced by having the Publication Catalog only in
electronic format, and by increased advertising revenues.
Ozone News and OS&E have been published on time and
within budget. Advertising revenues are up
approximately 27% over 2006, due to a rate increase and
additional ads.
A budget for 2008 was presented with income and
expenses of $193,000. This includes $25,000 for the
AWWARF study. The budget was approved by the
Board.
The Board approved an increase in the Associate Editors’
fees from $8,000 to $10,000 per year to reflect increasing
work load and currency exchange issues.
The next meeting of the International Board of Directors
will be held May 24-25 in Tokyo.
The Board approved a five-year extension of the contract
with Taylor & Francis. T&F will digitize all issues of
OS&E and make them available to IOA members on the
internet. The minimum royalty to IOA for outside sales
will double from $3000 to $6000 per year.
The current IOA website(s) were discussed. It was felt
that a single page website should be available which
could direct one to the individual IOA websites. The PAG
Website task force is being asked to investigate this.
A new Publications Catalog will be available in early
2008. The catalog will be available in electronic format
only.

Report from 2007 World Congress
on Ozone and Ultraviolet Technologies
During August 27-29, 2007 more than 830 delegates from
32 countries attended the 2007 World Congress on Ozone
and Ultraviolet Technologies, held at the Hyatt Regency
Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, CA. This joint
congress consisted of the 18th Ozone World Congress
and the 4th International Congress on Ultraviolet
Technologies.
IOA President Michael Dimitriou then offered his
welcome and gave a brief history of the IOA and of the
ozone markets, emphasizing that IOA is a volunteer
organization. Two of the original founders of the IOA
were present at the conference (Drs. Rip Rice and L.
Joseph Bollyky). Mike then summarized the status of the
AWWARF Bromate project, which is sponsored by IOA
and others.
This indeed was a remarkable Congress focusing on the
synergies of ozone and ultraviolet technologies as well as
providing information on the individual technologies. The
Hyatt Hotel was uniquely qualified to provide
outstanding service throughout the conference and was in
a prime location to explore the many attractions of Los
Angeles, Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
The conference started on Sunday night with a welcome
reception sponsored by long-term IOA supporter CDM.
This pool-side reception got the conference off to a good
start and gave attendees the chance to renew old
acquaintances as well as make new ones. Since this was
a joint conference, there were a lot of new faces for
everyone.
Michael Dimitriou welcomes IOA and IUVA Delegates
Dr. Jim Bolton, Executive director of IUVA then offered
his welcome and introduced Dr. Andreas Kolch, IUVA
President. Dr. Kolch discussed the benefits of
partnerships and synergy. Both Ozone and UV
technologies have reached maturity and are accepted.
The strategic goals for IUVA are to become more known
in Europe and Asia. They have recently created a
manufacturers council.
Opening Reception
The conference officially opened Monday morning. Paul
Overbeck, Executive Director of the Pan American Group
welcomed attendees to the first ever World Congress on
combined technologies and gave an outline of water
resource needs driven by a changing environment. The
Municipal water treatment market is growing at a 10%
rate with advanced oxidation processes playing a major
role.

regulations. The Total Coliform Rule had the most
excursions from the regulated parameters. A new rule is
being finalized for 2012. Disinfection byproducts are still
very important as there is a large exposure.
World Congress Report (cont’d)
Sally C. Gutierrez, Director National Risk Management
Research Laboratory Office of Research and
Development, United States Environmental Protection
Agency addressed the group on “Emerging Issues in
Water Treatment and Water Quality: An EPA
Perspective”. She summarized the research capabilities of
the EPA and discussed the EPA ETV (Environmental
Technology Verification) program for third party
verification of commercial technology. Eight percent of
the US energy demand is used to treat water (mostly
pumps). Current areas of concern for the EPA are
endocrine disrupting chemicals, pharmaceutical and
personal care products, and engineered nano-materials.
Cost issues are of major concern with one controversial
solution being full cost pricing for water.
At the fist day luncheon, Tim Brick, Chairman of the Los
Angeles Metropolitan Water District Board of Directors
spoke on the MWD and their plans for expansion and for
using ozone.
Technical Sessions
There were more than 280 papers presented in up to 9
cocurrent technical sessions. It is impossible to give
satisfactory coverage of the sessions in this article. There
were many outstanding papers presented. A full list of
papers presented can be found in the conference program,
or in the Conference Proceedings as described at the end
of this article.
A list of the technical sessions follows. The sessions
were generally opened with an expanded keynote address
and followed with several technical presentations. Note:
authors who would like their paper considered for
publication into OS&E should submit it to their regional
Associate Editor.
Major technical topics covered at the Congress were:

Professor Regina Sommer, Medical University of Vienna,
Austria spoke on “Drinking water regulation in Europe –
Impact on human health.” Health effects of contaminants
were summarized. Pesticides (atrazine/simazine) are
winding up in groundwater supplies and some countries
have banned their use. She outlined initial concerns in
Europe concerning UV disinfection of water. Austria and
Germany have created standards for UV disinfection
systems, and an UV plant can achieve a “license”.
After a coffee break in the exhibit area, Alan Roberson,
Director of Security and Regulatory Affairs, American
Water Works Association, spoke on “The future of water
and wastewater regulations in North America.” Small
groundwater systems are being heavily hit with new

addressed the solubility of ozone in solvents as opposed
to water. There are limited data on ozone solubility in
solvents, with most of the work being done in Russia.

Water Treatment in Ozone – 20 Years in Los Angeles
In a keynote paper, Saad Jasim reviewed his work on
“The Effect of Ozone on Cold Water Coagulation.” This
work was based on pilot scale experiments at the
Walkerton Clean Water Center, Walkerton, Ontario.
Nick Burns, Black & Veatch outlined the “Synergistic
Evaluation of Ozone and UV at the Coquitlam Source for
Enhanced DBP Control and Cryptosporidium
inactivation.” The water source uses ozone for Giardia
and virus inactivation and UV for Cryptosporidium
inactivation.
Prof. Andrzej Bin discusses ozone solubility
In another keynote paper, Shane Snyder, Southern
Nevada Water Authority presented an update on
“Occurrence, Treatment and Toxicological Relevance of
EDCs and Pharmaceuticals in Water.” These compounds
pose a unique challenge for drinking water treatment
plants intent on the removal of organic contaminants, as
complete removal is merely a reflection of reporting
limits.
Professor Joon-wun Kang discussed a “Ozone and UV
Irradiation Process for Removal of Antibiotics used in
Cattle Farms”. Using either ozone or UV irradiation, the
intermediately formed by-products were found to
significantly affect the overall kinetics, and should be
carefully considered for practical applications of these
techniques.
Gary Stolarik, Los Angeles Department of Water and
Power updated the group on “Twenty Years of Ozone in
Los Angeles.” This paper outlined the development and
optimization of the Los Angeles Aqueduct Filtration
Plant. This paper was also presented in the previous issue
of Ozone News.
L. Joseph Bollyky presented a “Review of Selected
Industrial and Aquatic Applications of Ozone; Zebra
Mussel Control.” Some new, and some older but still
valid applications were involved, including the use of
ozone on a nuclear waste.
Derek Miller, Air Products offered “An Introduction to
Short Loop Recycle Technology”. This process features
adsorbent beds which adsorb ozone but not oxygen. After
the bed is saturated, dry air is fed to remove the adsorbed
ozone at concentrations of 8-10% by weight.

Exhibition
World Congress Report (cont’d)
This was probably the finest exhibition that has occurred
at an IOA conference/congress. There were more than 40
exhibitors and the traffic at the booths was very good.
The exhibit space was ideally laid out for hosting coffee
breaks and to visit before and after lunch. The exhibitors
hosted a “Meet & Greet” reception late Monday
afternoon after the close of the technical sessions.
Chemical oxidation using ozone, alone or in combination
with additional physical/chemical agents (i.e. advanced
oxidation), has been proved a highly effective treatment
process for a wide spectrum of emerging aqueous organic
pollutants, including pesticides, pharmaceuticals,
personal care products, surfactants, microbial toxins, and
natural fatty acids.
We are considering a special issue of Ozone: Science &
Engineering featuring several keynote addresses from the
conference.
