The role of ozone generators in municipal water treatment

Municipal water treatment
Municipal Water Supply Treatment

Deep treatment of drinking water employs an ozone-activated carbon process. Leveraging ozone’s powerful oxidizing capacity, this process breaks down organic compounds, enhances the ability of biological activated carbon to degrade these compounds, effectively kills bacteria and viruses, reduces chlorination by-products, eliminates odors, and improves water quality and taste.

The role of ozone
Ozone Function

Degradation of biologically recalcitrant organic and inorganic pollutants, such as benzene, phenols and their derivatives, cyanides, sulfides, manganese, iron, and humic acids, as well as pesticides and herbicides;

Eliminates chlorine-resistant “two parasites,” bacteria, viruses, and algae; removes color, eliminates odors, and reduces turbidity.

Decompose endocrine disruptors and avoid the formation of carcinogenic substances such as halogenated hydrocarbons and chloramines.

Increasing the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) in water breaks down macromolecular organic substances into smaller molecules, thereby enhancing the efficiency and durability of subsequent biological activated carbon (BAC) treatment in degrading COD and ammonia nitrogen.
