Ozone is the most powerful commercial oxidant
in the world. It has been used primarily as a
disinfectant for drinking water since the early
1900's. It is also useful for waste water disinfection
and malodorous off-gases from waste water treatment
plants because OZONE must be generated on site
for immediate use. This is best done through a
ozone generator.
The advantage of Ozonators
for commercially treating waste water is that it destroys
bacteria, inhibits algae growth and reduces scaling
in problematic areas. It has a faster reaction rate
than chemicals and only oxidation not chlorination takes
place. Ozonators provide rapid and efficient oxidation
of many industrial contaminants. It is very effective
for oxidizing iron and manganese, removing phenols,
organic waste constituents and heavy metal contaminants.
An additional advantage is that water treated with OZONE
does not contain any chlorinated compounds that require
further treatment prior to disposal.
Commercial & Industrial Applications of Ozone :
OZONE is used in the bottling industry
for water treatment and sterilization of the bottle-cleaning
water. It is also used in beer making and the soft
drink bottling industry. Fish hatcheries use OZONE
in lieu of other disinfectants, both as a bactericide
and a source of dissolved oxygen. In the pharmaceutical
industry, the requirement for purity of the reagents
makes OZONE ideal for both oxidation and disinfection.
Another typical situation of biofouling controls is
the treatment of recirculation water in air conditioning
cooling-tower systems.
The use of Ozonators is increasing
rapidly in the industrial waste water treatment section
because it is accepted as being effective, economical
& can enhance traditional methods.
