Application of ozone in waterworks

01  Jan,70 ()

The application of ozone in waterworks mainly includes the following points:

1. Water quality treatment: Ozone can be used to remove organic matter, pigment, odor and microorganisms from water. Through the ozone detector, the concentration of ozone in the water can be monitored to ensure that the right amount of ozone is added in the water treatment process, so as to effectively remove pollutants in the water.

2. Disinfection: Ozone is a powerful disinfectant, faster than conventional chlorine disinfection and does not produce harmful by-products. The ozone concentration in the water can be monitored through the ozone detector to ensure that adequate disinfection effect is achieved during the water treatment process, while not exceeding the safe concentration.

3. Dissolved oxygen monitoring: Ozone injection usually affects dissolved oxygen levels in water. Ozone detectors can be used to monitor the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water to ensure that there is an adequate oxygen supply in the water body.

4. Ozone generation system control: Waterworks are usually equipped with ozone generation systems to produce ozone in response to water quality problems. The ozone detector can be used to control the ozone generation system to ensure that the system provides sufficient ozone when needed.

5. Water quality monitoring and reporting: Data from the ozone detector can be used to monitor changes in ozone concentration in water bodies and generate corresponding reports. This helps water plant operators track water quality and take necessary adjustment measures in a timely manner. Overall, ozone is an important oxidizing agent and disinfectant that can be used in a variety of applications in waterworks to ensure water quality is safe and meets hygiene standards.


The amount of ozone added to the waterworks needs to be determined according to the water quality and treatment requirements. Generally speaking, tap water, self-provided Wells and other water sources with general water quality, due to low water quality treatment, the amount of ozone is generally 2-4g/m3 (per ton of water), that is, 2-4ppm. After pretreatment or reverse osmosis depth treatment of better water quality sources, such as pure water, mineral water, centralized water supply, etc., drinking water sterilization ozone dosage is about 1-3ppm. The above data is for reference only, and the specific dosage needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation.
