Ozone has excellent disinfection and oxidation qualities. For this reason, ozone is widely used for drinking water treatment. Ozone can be added at several points throughout the treatment system, such as during pre-oxidation, intermediate oxidation or final disinfection.
Several benefits may be achieved by using Ozone, such as:
– Removal of organic and inorganic matter
– Removal of micro-pollutants, such as pesticides
– Enhancement of the flocculation/coagulation-decantation process
– Enhanced disinfection and reduction of disinfection byproducts
– Odor and taste elimination
