GET, Inc. Ozone Water Sterilizers are a very effective method of sterilizing
water for drinking and other uses. Ozone is the only approved method of sterilization for
water bottling in most jurisdictions. Advantages include: Continuing sterilization after
treatment, modest operating costs, and effective sterilization without adding any
unpleasant taste to the water. In fact, ozone sterilizers generally enhance the taste of
the treated water. Ozone molecules contain three oxygen
atoms (O3), while oxygen molecules found in the atmosphere contain two oxygen
atoms (O2). The properties of the two types of oxygen molecules are quite
different. Ozone is a very potent oxidizer, and as such is effective in pathogen
destruction. As the ozone attacks pathogens, it breaks down into O2 molecules.
Since ozone has a half-life, it continues breaking down gradually into O2,
leaving additional dissolved oxygen in the water. Dissolved oxygen is the most important
component of good drinking water taste. So adding some dissolved oxygen enhances the taste
of the water. Pathogens effectively killed by
ozone include the common but dangerous E-Coli, Coliform, Cholera, and other dangerous
bacteria. For most applications, a residual content of 0.4 or 0.5 PPM is an effective
dosage. This ozone content is sufficient to destroy pathogens that may inhabit the surface
of the interior of drinking water bottles and lids. Treating water with UV does not
provide any residual sterilization, meaning that any spores or bacteria that may be in the
bottles can multiply after filling, thus making unsafe water. Hence the necessity to use
ozone for bottled water treatment. Of course, chlorine has an effective residual effect,
but is undesirable in bottled water due to its unpleasant taste as well as its
carcinogenic activity. Ozone is also very useful in oxidizing iron & manganese, which
can then be removed by filtration. GET manufactures ozone water
sterilizers in many capacities to handle flow rates of from 2 gallons per minute up to
hundreds of gallons per minute. To meet the requirements of various applications and
different budgets, systems can be built to be manually or automatically operated, with or
without an ozone content monitor & controller, with or without a pump, and for in-line
installations or in a recirculation loop. Contact GET, Inc. for a quotation on an ozone
water sterilizer custom tailored to your application and budget. |
