An Overview

What is ozone?

And oxidizing sterilant.

It employed in low concentrations
and short contact time is very
effective to inactivate bacteria ,
fungi , viruses and protozoa.

ozone

Ozone was discovered in 1785 by Van

Mauten and is in 1857 when Werner
von Siemens designs an ozone
generator. In 1893 he first used to
disinfect water in the Netherlands, and
1906 is applied in a treatment plant in
Nice.

Advanced oxidation processes

Advanced
Oxidation
Processes
( AOPs ) were defined by Glaze etal.
( 1987 ) as those processes and
water treatment pressure and near
ambient
conditions,
involving
generation of hydroxyl radicals in
sufficient quantity to interact with
the organic compounds the average
temperature amount. This is a
family of methods in which all
catalytic processes and using
noncatalytic high oxidizing ability of
hydroxyl radical and which differ in
the way they generate said radical
are included.

The half life of ozone in the air is about

20 minutes in the water is very
variable, depending on various factors
(temperature , pH, substances present
in the water , etc. ) , can vary from 1
minute to 30 minutes. A level playing
field is more stable in water than in air.

Advantages and disavantages

Advantages

Disavantages

Ease of ozone production from air or oxygen by

electric shock.

Ozone is highly corrosive and toxic.

Ease Reaction with organic and inorganic

compounds because of their high reactivity and
reduction potential .

The initial cost of the equipment is high, and

generators require much energy .

the Ozone reduces TOC , color , odor and

turbidity of treated water.

Ozone must be generated "in situ" by problems

in storage and transportation

Ozone oxidizes iron, manganese and sulfides.

The half life of ozone in the distribution system is

25 minutes at room temperature , so that
ozonation does not ensure clean drinking water ,
being necessary to add chlorine.

one of the most efficient chemical disinfectants ,

as it requires a little time contact.

DBPs are formed in the presence of bromine ,

aldehydes, ketones , etc.

In the absence of bromine, are not formed DBPs

.

filters are required for removing activated

biodegradable organic carbon

Ozone is more effective than chlorine,

chloramines and chlorine dioxide to inactivate
viruses, Cryptosporidium and Giardia .

Inactivation of microorganisms by O3 is a complex process because the oxygen atom Freed

Soil disinfestation

Ozone is the alternative to the use

of methyl bromide for soil
fumigation, when this product is
applied to the soil by injection, through
devices such as drip lines or injection
probes. This injection of ozone has
been tested in doses from 56 to 448
kilos per hectare ozone to control soilborne pathogens.

Washing vegetables and fruits

When ozone is used as a
disinfectant in water at
doses of 0.5 - 3.0 ppm, it is
highly effective for
inactivating the most
common forms of bacteria,
spores, fungi, viruses and
algae present in the water
used washing.

Ozone is a powerful
disinfectant safe and can be
used to control biological
growth of unwanted
organisms in products and
equipment used in food
processing industries.

grain storage
Ozone applied correctly in
the base of the silo stops the
growth of fungi, reduces
toxins, repels insects and
rodents, and saves money
by not required of hazardous
chemicals.

It has been determined that

ozone can eliminate insects

Application of ozone in water

To do its job ozone disinfection and oxidation, it

must be in water contact dispersed as finely as
possible.
Usually this is done through fine bubble
diffusers, Venturi direct injection and static
mixing.

Ozone..

Ozone..

It is much heavier than air and

tends to sink to lower levels.

It has a low vapor pressure.

It has a sweet smell, but the

odor threshold varies greatly by
person and by environmental
conditions.

You may be confused by the

measuring sensors with other
oxidizing gases.

It reverts to oxygen with a
