A recent study has highlighted a concerning reality: wastewater treatment plants across the U.S. are failing to remove pharmaceutical compounds, including antidepressants like fluoxetine, antibiotics, hormones, and anti-inflammatories. These “micropollutants,” though present at low concentrations (ng/L to µg/L), have been linked to ecological disruption, antibiotic resistance, and long-term public health concerns. As conventional biological and filtration-based systems reach their limits, utilities are turning to a more powerful tool: ozone. At Pinnacle Ozone Solutions, we engineer advanced oxidation systems capable of targeting these persistent compounds with precision, scalability, and performance, even [...]
