American Water Intelligence Technology Project of the Year Finalist Named

Pasteurization Technology Group (PTG), innovator of the only wastewater disinfection process that generates renewable energy, has been selected as a finalist for Technology Project of the Year. One of four awards presented by industry publication American Water Intelligence (AWI) in its 2012 American Water Awards, Technology Project of the Year recognizes new technology that has been successfully deployed in a completed water or wastewater project.

At AWI’s American Water Summit Nov. 14 to 15, in Chicago, PTG CEO Greg Ryan, along with other finalists, will give a six-minute presentation about PTG’s technology and recent deployment at Ventura Water. Summit attendees will vote for their choice, with the first-place winners and runners-up announced later that night at the awards ceremony.

PTG’s technology is a highly efficient, cost-effective and sustainable solution that enables the reuse of valuable water. The technology is attracting the attention of businesses and municipalities that want to realize substantial energy cost savings and eliminate toxic chemicals through alternatives to traditional UV- and chlorine-based wastewater disinfection systems.

Ventura Water recently successfully completed the initial evaluation phase of a project to transition its wastewater treatment plant to a safe, non-toxic, sustainable technology to replace the current chlorine-based disinfection process in use at the Ventura Wastewater Reclamation Facility. Current estimates are that the city of Ventura will realize energy and operating cost savings of more than $750,000 per year by using PTG’s technology.
