What is Ozone treatment?

Question

I will be glad if somebody may kindly describe this in detail for me.

Answer 1

I'm assuming you mean ozone "water" treatment?
While ozone was originally used within bottled water to improve the quality and the consistency of the water, to disinfect, improve aesthetics, and extend the shelf life, the list benefits can now be experienced within the whole production process. Ozone treatment fulfils a number of functions. It disinfects the bottle, the bottling equipment and the water, while also treating the air above the water and the sealed bottle cap. The treatment provides an extremely effective barrier against microbiological contamination and improves the product itself.

The use of ozone in the treatment of drinking water is not a new technique. It is estimated that ozone is now used in over 3000 municipal drinking water installations world wide. The treatment offers a number of advantages over the traditional use of chlorine, most notably in the improvement of taste, odour and appearance. Allied to this is the ability to kill bacteria and inactive viruses more effectively than any chemical. It also reduces heavy metals found in drinking water, such as iron and manganese, to safer levels through oxidation. This all occurs within a process that is environmentally friendly, and which has oxygen as its main by-product. Ozone treatment negates the danger of tri-halo-methane (THM�s) forming, making it a safer method as well as one which improves quality.

Swimming Pools
Ozone generator usage in swimming pools is an ideal application for our state of the art technology. Not only is the method more efficient than traditional forms of swimming pool disinfecting, it also eradicates the negative side effects caused by chlorine cleaned pools. What ozone systems bring to this area is the solution to the problems faced by the use of chlorine in swimming pools.

One of the main problems when using a chemical cleaning agent is that the reaction between the agent and the organic waste creates different compounds. Chlorine, the most common chemical agent, produces a high number of toxic compounds when it reacts in this way, including trihalomethanes (THM�s) and chloroform and exposure to these is now being linked to lung problems such as asthma as well as causing problems such as redness of the eyes and rashes for a great number of swimming pool users.

Ozone treatment of water results in no dangerous compounds as a result of the cleaning process, and any unused ozone turns into oxygen and remains.
