Ozone was first used in water treatment in the late 1800s and ozone is more widely
used in Europe and Asia than the United States.
At-Home Water Screening Test

Ozone is an unstable gas comprising of three oxygen atoms, the gas will readily
degrade back to oxygen, and during this transition a free oxygen atom, or free
radical form. The free oxygen radical is highly reactive and short lived, under
normal conditions it will only survive for milliseconds.

Ozone is a colorless gas that has an odor similar to the smell of the air after a
major thunderstorm.

ozonation, ozone generators, ozone water treatment, taste odor removal

Ozone has a greater disinfection effectiveness against bacteria and viruses


compared to chlorination. In addition, the oxidizing properties can also reduce
the concentration of iron, manganese, sulfur and reduce or eliminate taste and odor
problems. Ozone oxides the iron, manganese, and sulfur in the water to form
insoluble metal oxides or elemental sulfur. These insoluble particles are then
removed by post-filtration. Organic particles and chemicals will be eliminated
through either coagulation or chemical oxidation. Ozone is unstable, and it will
degrade over a time frame ranging from a few seconds to 30 minutes. The rate of
degradation is a function of water chemistry, pH and water temperature.

Ozonation Process

The formation of oxygen into ozone occurs with the use of energy. This process is
carried out by an electric discharge field as in the CD-type ozone generators
(corona discharge simulation of the lightning), or by ultraviolet radiation as in
UV-type ozone generators (simulation of the ultraviolet rays from the sun). In
addition to these commercial methods, ozone may also be made through electrolytic
and chemical reactions. In general, an ozonation system includes passing dry,
clean air through a high voltage electric discharge, i.e., corona discharge, which
creates and ozone concentration of approximately 1% or 10,000 mg/L. In treating
small quantities of waste, the UV ozonation is the most common while large-scale
systems use either corona discharge or other bulk ozone-producing methods. Ozone
test strips a must.

The raw water is then passed through a venturi throat which creates a vacuum and
pulls the ozone gas into the water or the air is then bubbled up through the water
being treated. Since the ozone will react with metals to create insoluble metal
oxides, post filtration is required.
