Wastewater Disinfection<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ozone used for wastewater disinfection has the potential to lower\/eliminate chemical additions into water providing for a green solution and save you money.\u00a0 Ozone is a powerful oxidant that will provide excellent disinfection to any water stream.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The oxidation potential of ozone<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>is greater than that of all other chemicals used for wastewater disinfection.<\/p>\n

Ozone ws initially utilized for disinfection of drinking water starting back in 1906.(history of ozone use)<\/a>\u00a0 The use of ozone for wastewater disinfection did not gain attention until the early 1970’s.\u00a0 By 1984 there were 43 operational municipal wastewater treatment plants utilizing ozone for disinfection in the United States alone.\u00a0 However, the implementation of ozone in large scale municipal plants stagnated after about 1985.\u00a0 This was due mostly to the low cost of chlorine, and the lack of regulation on chlorine residuals in water.<\/p>\n

Ozone use for wastewater disinfection has again gained attention in recent years.\u00a0 Ozone is again becoming cost effective and necessary for three main reasons.<\/p>\n
