Applications of ozone

In cooling towers offers several advantages:

1. Enhanced microbial control: Ozone is a powerful disinfectant that effectively controls and eliminates bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms that can thrive in cooling tower systems. It helps prevent the growth of biofilms and reduces the risk of microbiologically induced corrosion and fouling. 

2. Improved water quality: Ozone treatment helps maintain cleaner and clearer water in cooling towers. It eliminates organic and inorganic contaminants, such as algae, slime, and suspended solids, leading to reduced scaling and fouling. This, in turn, improves heat transfer efficiency and overall system performance. 

3. Reduced chemical usage: Ozone treatment can help lower the dependence on traditional chemical additives, such as biocides and disinfectants, in cooling tower systems. By utilising ozone, the need for these chemicals may be reduced, resulting in cost savings and decreased environmental impact. 

4. Enhanced safety: Ozone is generated on-site, eliminating the need for transportation, storage, and handling of hazardous chemical biocides. This reduces the risk of accidents and improves workplace safety. 

5. Environmentally friendly: Ozone treatment in cooling towers is a sustainable and eco-friendly approach. Ozone breaks down into oxygen after use, leaving no harmful residues or byproducts. It does not contribute to the formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) that can be harmful to the environment. 

6. Odour control: Ozone treatment can help mitigate unpleasant odours associated with cooling towers, such as the "rotten egg" smell caused by sulphur compounds. It effectively eliminates odour causing substances, creating a more pleasant working environment. 

Overall, ozone treatment in cooling towers offers advantages such as improved microbial control, enhanced water quality, reduced chemical usage, increased safety, environmental sustainability, and odour control. It is a viable option for maintaining efficient and reliable cooling tower operations. 

Ozone dosage can be between 5-10 grams per hour per 100 TR cooling towers capacity
