The use of Ozone is becoming more popular in both water and waste
water treatment, since only environmental friendly by-products are
currently known to be produced. The toxic byproduct of chemical
treatments is eliminated.
EPIPL introduces Ultra Safe Ozone Generator in technical
tie-up with one of the leaders in the world, M/s Ozone Pure Water
Inc. USA.
Ozone has no by-products and biological hazards like the conventionally
used chemical oxidants/disinfectants. Ozone is extremely efficient
as a bactericide, fungicide and virucide, killing even chlorine-resistant
Cryptosporidium. Ozone will not lead to the formation of Trihalomethanes
(THMs) which are formed when chlorine is added to raw water containing
humic (pls. check usage) materials. Once a THM is formed, it is
difficult to oxidise even with Ozone.
Being an extremely effective oxidant, Ozone has a short residual
(converting quickly back to Oxygen) life, and the by-products of
Ozone reactions are ecologically benign. It is both reactive and
unstable.
Ozone rapidly decays back into molecular Oxygen, with half-life
of 20 minutes in air, making it impractical to store Ozone in containers.
The UltraSafe Ozone Generator uses the Corona Discharge Ozone
Technology. It produces Ozone by energetic excitation of molecular
Oxygen causing some of it to disassociate into Oxygen atoms which
then recombine with Oxygen. The discharge occurs when charged electrons
flow through a stream of Oxygen gas.
Ozone is used in water treatment for its oxidative qualities and
electronegative oxidation potential. Ozone will oxidise both organic
and inorganic substances, remove unwanted taste, odour and color,
and provide effective disinfection.
