BS EN 17120 on photocatalysis in water purification is applicable to:
- Photocatalytic water purification technology providers
- Water biofilter manufacturers
- Water purification applications
- Wastewater treatment plants
- Research laboratories
- Environmentalists
- Local authorities
Why should you use BS EN 17120-Measurement of phenol degradation for water purification?
The increasing demand for clean water results in the demand for new, practically attractive technologies enabling reasonable water use. The photocatalysis water treatment process is an oxidation technology used for the removal of persistent organic compounds and microorganisms from water. Meanwhile, phenols are acutely toxic contaminants that arise in water from a large number of industrial processes. The measurement of phenol degradation is vital to assess the extent of phenol pollution and plays an important role in its elimination.
BS EN 17120 provides guidance on the equipment and materials and test procedure for accurate quantitative assessment of phenol degradation.
BS EN 17120 helps you evaluate the performance of photocatalytic materials by best industry guidance on measurement of phenol degradation. This can ultimately support environmental protection and control water pollution, by reducing toxicity. If you are an operator of wastewater treatment plants, BS EN 17120 can help you meet the required water quality standards.
Moreover, BS EN 17120 can be extremely beneficial for your product development intiatives to expand the potential fields of application.
