Recently, a number of countries are now considering the reuse of effluents from wastewater treatment for various water applications. To improve the reuse of wastewater effluent, the development of appropriate micro-pollutant removal technology is necessary. Although several researche have been studied for removing micro-pollutants in water, little study has been conducted for the removal of emerging contaminant such as antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) by disinfection processes. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the capacity of disinfection technologies such as chlorination, ozone, and electron beam, for removing antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and ARGs. Based on this study, better ARG removal can be achieved by ozonation and electron beam. Relatively, high CT values of chlorination or ozonation are needed to remove ARB and ARG compared to conventional pathogens.

Ozonation is an effective process in providing microbiologically safe drinking water. The operation of the ozonation stage is often based on disinfection criteria which include security factors, such as the CT criterion. This type of ozonation management, which mat include large safety margins, will no longer be possible, since formation of ozonation byproducts has to be avoided. In order to reduce the security factor, a computerized tool to predict with more accuracy inactivation of micro-organisms in the ozonation process has been developed.
