At Oxidation Technologies, we\u2019re thrilled to see the City of Oshkosh doubling down on ozone. According to a recent article from The Oshkosh Northwestern<\/em>, Oshkosh will be upgrading its ozone equipment<\/a><\/em><\/strong> at the city\u2019s water filtration plant \u2013 a decision we wholeheartedly applaud! (Read the article here<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This move is a big deal. Not only is Oshkosh prioritizing cleaner, safer water for its residents, but it\u2019s also investing in a system that\u2019s environmentally responsible and more effective than traditional methods like chlorine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why We Love Ozone in Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ozone is a powerhouse when it comes to water treatment<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. It\u2019s a naturally occurring molecule made up of three oxygen atoms, and when it\u2019s dissolved in water<\/a>,<\/strong><\/em> it becomes an incredibly strong oxidizer. That means it can eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants fast\u2014without leaving behind harmful by-products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike chlorine, which can form disinfection by-products (DBPs) such as trihalomethanes (THMs) that are harmful to human health, ozone breaks down into pure oxygen after doing its job. That\u2019s cleaner, safer, and better for both people and the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
