1. An apparatus for removing contaminant from influent water, the apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of modules assembled into a water treatment reactor, the plurality of modules including;
a main reactor comprising a diverter module, a first and second sidestream injector module, and at least one mixer module;
a first sidestream comprising at least one injector module connected to a source of a first oxidant comprising ozone and a static mixer module, wherein the injector module is upstream of the mixer module;
a second sidestream comprising at least one injector module connected to a source of a second oxidant comprising peroxide and a static mixer module, where the injector module is upstream of the mixer module;
the diverter module fluidly connecting the main reactor and the first and second sidestreams, the diverter module effective to divert a portion of said influent water to the first and the second sidestream;
the first sidestream injector module connected to the first sidestream for injecting influent water that is premixed with the first oxidant in said first sidestream;
the second sidestream injector module connected to the second sidestream for injecting influent water that is premixed with the second oxidant in said second sidestream,at least one of the mixer modules comprising a static mixing component, andwherein the diverter module is attached upstream of the sidestream injector modules,the main reactor mixer module is attached downstream of the sidestream injector modules, andthe sidestream injector modules and the main reactor mixer module are further adapted with fittings effective to allow the optional assembly of additional injector modules and additional mixer modules into the apparatus in a single-pass, plug flow configuration.

Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method relating to a modular water treatment apparatus that utilizes sidestream injection coupled to static mixing are described. The apparatus, system, and method utilizes ozone, with or without hydrogen peroxide, for effective disinfection and/or decontamination of contaminants present in waste water. The disinfected, decontaminated water is suitable for reuse.

15. A sidestream-containing apparatus for removing a contaminant from influent water, the apparatus comprising:
-
a first plurality of modules assembled into a main reactor in the apparatus, the first plurality of modules comprising; a diverter module effective to divert a portion of said influent water to a first sidestream and a second sidestream; a first sidestream injector module connected to said first sidestream for injecting influent water from the first sidestream into the main reactor, a second sidestream injector module downstream of the diverter module and connected to said second sidestream for injecting influent water from the second sidestream into the main reactor, at least one mixer module comprising a static mixing component, a second plurality of modules assembled into said first sidestream, the second plurality of modules comprising; at least one injector module connected to a source of a first oxidant comprising ozone, at least one mixer module comprising a static mixing component, and conduits effective to introduce oxidant premixed with influent water in said first sidestream into the first sidestream injector module of said main reactor, and a third plurality of modules assembled into said second sidestream, the third plurality of modules comprising; at least one injector module connected to a source of a second oxidant comprising peroxide, at least one mixer module comprising a static mixing component, and conduits effective to introduce oxidant premixed with influent water in said second sidestream into the second sidestream injector module of said main reactor, wherein said modules are adapted with fittings effective to allow the installation of additional optional injector modules and/or mixer modules to the first sidestream, the second sidestream, and/or the main reactor.
