The Equipment will be Used at the Facility's
Ozone Generation Site to Remove Viruses, Bacteria and
Pharmaceutical Products from Wastewater
LEHIGH
VALLEY, Pa., Sept. 7,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products has been chosen by
the city of Montreal to supply
oxygen equipment to support an ozone generation site that will
remove impurities from wastewater at the Jean-R-Marcotte
Wastewater Treatment Plant, one of the largest wastewater treatment
plants in North America.
Jean-R.-Marcotte treats almost half of Quebec's wastewater before releasing it into
the St. Lawrence River. On average, the wastewater treatment plant
releases 2.3 million cubic meters of water into the river per
day.
As part of its agreement with the city of Montreal, Air Products will provide oxygen
equipment, including four vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) oxygen
plants, to support the city's new state-of-the-art ozone generation
system. The ozone generation system will disinfect the water,
removing viruses, bacteria and pharmaceutical products.
"Air Products is proud to collaborate with the city of
Montreal on this important
project. Air Products' oxygen generating plants will support the
city's efforts to expand a sustainable water purification process
to benefit the citizens of Quebec
and the wildlife that depend on the St. Lawrence River," said Air
Products' Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Samir J. Serhan. "As Air Products celebrates the
50th anniversary of Air Products Canada, this project
reflects our continued commitment to Canada."
Air Products began operations in Canada in 1973. Since then, Air Products has
developed well established operations in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. As Canada's leading supplier of hydrogen and a
leader in the energy transition, Air Products is constructing a
$1.6 billion (CAD) net-zero hydrogen
energy complex in Edmonton,
Alberta. This transformative complex will use an advanced
process technology and innovative design to deliver net-zero
emissions. The complex also will include a hydrogen-fueled power
generation plant and a liquid hydrogen facility that will produce
enough liquid hydrogen capacity to fuel every major transit agency
in Alberta. Earlier this year, Air
Products also announced plans to build Alberta's first multi-modal hydrogen refueling
station near its net-zero hydrogen energy complex in Edmonton.
Air Products pioneered the concept of on-site oxygen production
over 75 years ago and today continues to integrate oxygen
generation plants into the operations of industrial and municipal
users such as glass, nonferrous metals and steel, cement, pulp and
paper, water treatment and other industries.
