Ozone is the most powerful commercial oxidant in the world. It has been used primarily as a disinfectant for drinking water since the early 1900s”s. It is also useful for wastewater disinfection and malodorous off-gases from wastewater treatment plants because OZONE must be generated on-site for immediate use. This is best done through an ozone generator.

The advantage of Ozonators for commercially treating waste water is that they destroy bacteria, inhibit algae growth, and reduce 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, and 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 and Industrial applications of Ozone:

• OZONE is used in the bottling industry for water treatment and sterilization of 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.
