Ozone is one of the most powerful known oxidizing agents and can be used with grate advantage in the treatment of drinking and process water.Ozone is used for oxidation as well as disinfection, replacing chlorinated compounds. Ozone provides the following advantages: • Very effective oxidation of contaminants • Elimination of undesirable tastes and odours • Improvement of colour • Oxidises Iron and Manganese • Effective virus and cyst reduction • Minimisation of trihalomethane (THM) production • Control of algae • Avoidance of the transportation of potential dangerous chemicals Each ozone system consists of a coordinated group of individual process components and is designed according to water quality and regulations. The Norwegian research institution SINTEF and NTNU concludes:”ozonation is a very interesting method for removal of humic substances in drinking water both because the method is very easy to run, it uses no external chemicals and is very cost effective. It is also a considerable advantage that the process is not producing any by-products such as sludge or chemicals.
