1. Advanced disinfection: Ozone is a powerful oxidant that effectively destroys a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. It provides a high level of disinfection, ensuring the safety and purity of the raw water.
2. Removal of organic compounds: Ozone effectively breaks down and oxidises organic compounds present in raw water, such as pesticides, pharmaceutical residues, and industrial pollutants. It helps in the removal of taste, odour, and colour causing substances, improving the overall water quality.
3. Precursor removal for disinfection byproducts (DBPs): Ozone treatment can help remove precursors that can contribute to the formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) during downstream chlorination. By reducing these precursors, ozone treatment minimises the potential health risks associated with DBP formation.
4. Improved coagulation and filtration: Ozone can enhance the coagulation process by aiding in the formation of larger, more easily removable particles. This improves the efficiency of subsequent filtration steps, reducing the load on filtration systems and improving overall water clarity.
5. Reduction of COD and BOD in water. Ozone being a strong oxidiser, can oxidise most COD/ BOD causing compounds thus reducing COD and BOD in water
6. Enhanced oxidation of heavy metals : Ozone provides a strong oxidative effect, breaking down and oxidising a wide range of heavy metals , including Iron and Manganese. The oxides of these metals are not soluble and can be removed by filtration
7. Environmental sustainability: Ozone treatment is an environmentally friendly option for raw water treatment. Ozone breaks down into oxygen after use, leaving no harmful residues or byproducts. It is a sustainable and eco-friendly approach, minimising the impact on the environment.
Overall, ozone treatment in raw water provides advantages such as advanced disinfection, removal of organic compounds, precursor removal for DBP control, improved coagulation and filtration, reduction of taste and odour issues, enhanced oxidation of contaminants, and environmental sustainability. It is an effective method for treating raw water sources and ensuring the production of safe and high-quality drinking water.
The dosage of ozone depends on the quality of water to be treated and our team will guide you to optimise ozone dosage to achieve required results
