Steering the Innovation Process: Accelerating “Ideas to Impact” in Water Treatment

Demand for water and wastewater treatment equipment has grown substantially over the last several

years, leading to a significant increase in the market size for technology providers such as Trojan. To

maintain the cutting-edge nature and quality of Trojan products, it is essential that the research and

testing performed at Trojan match this expansion in demand. Historically, one of the distinguishing

features of Trojan’s products has been the rigorous analysis and testing that the products undergo

during the design and development phase. Trojan uses cutting-edge tools for modeling fluid flow, UV

radiation distribution, and biological and chemical kinetics to predict reactor performance. Computerbased

experiments are accomplished by using Computer Aided Engineering tools such as

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models. Trojan also performs extensive physical testing to

validate integrated CFD-optical-kinetic models used during product development to optimize design

and to validate completed designs and control algorithms. The strategic objective of this research

program is to determine a holistic algorithm able to guide….TOBECONTINUED
