Ozone use for water main disinfection is possible, but has not caught on large scale here in the USA quite yet.\u00a0 Article below is a great example of an ozone trial that could grow the use of ozone use for water main disinfection in Australia, and hopefully more the world.<\/p>\n

Reducing chlorine and chemical use worldwide is imperative for water quality and energy savings long term.<\/p>\n

Unitywater first in Queensland to trial ozone water main disinfection<\/span><\/h2>\n

Unitywater is the first water utility in Queensland to trial ozone disinfection technology in water pipelines.<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nOzone disinfection sterilises water quickly and breaks down rapidly into harmless oxygen.<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nThe technique involves using ozone gas to inactivate bacteria<\/a> and disinfect water mains. The ozone is pumped from a portable trailer unit, which can be placed on site where needed.<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nActing Executive Manager Infrastructure Services Division Michael O\u2019Toole said Unitywater was partnering with Grenof Water Technologies to conduct the trial.<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\n\u201cTo ensure public health is protected, water utilities are required to disinfect new water mains before putting them into service,\u201d Mr O\u2019Toole said.<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\n\u201cTraditionally Unitywater has used a process of chlorination to conduct this important disinfection.<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\n\u201cOzone is another option for us to consider as it is cost-effective, reliable, environmentally friendly and easy to use.<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\n\u201cIt also has the added benefit of sterilising mains quickly, thereby reducing delays for the development industry whenever new water main connections are required.<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\n\u201cWe are looking forward to the results of the trial.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nUnitywater\u2019s laboratory services staff will be testing water samples as part of the trial, while the ozone trailer itself also monitors water quality to ensure drinking water standards are met.<\/em><\/p>\n
