How Ozone is Produce ? Ozone is produce from lightning bolts during an electric storm. THe electric discharge disassociates the oxygen molecule in the air. The fresh smell that is present after a thunderstorm is a proof that mother nature is purifying the air. Ultraviolet rays from the sun reacts with oxygen in our atmosphere to form our protective ozone layer.

Aquazone duplicated these process using charged electrodes. When the air we breath which contains 21% oxygen, is passed thorough the ozonator, the oxygen in air is converted to ozone.

How does ozone works ? Because ozone is a high energy molecule, as soon as it comes in contact with organic matter the third oxygen atom detaches itself and combines with the contaminants in an oxidization reaction.

Where is ozone used ? Ozone is used for ater purification in the following industries. Ultra pure water for pharmaceutical industries. Ultra pure water for electronic industries. Mineral and bottled drinking water industries. Swimming pool & Spa water treatment. Cooling tower water treatment. Effluent treatment for COD & BOD reductions. Municipal water treatment. Also it is used to purify air in pharamaceutical industries, hotels, health clubs and also to clean carpets, draperies, and upholstery.

Is ozone environment friendly ? Ozone is 100% safe in water or in air in approves and recognized applications. Since it significantly reduces the amount of chemicals required, it leaves water in its most nature state. The only by-product ozone leaves behind is oxygen.

How does ozone improve a conventional chemical program ? Conventional chemical treatment programs require a suitable residual of sanitizer (chlorine or bromine) to be kept in the water. As the sanitizer does its job of destrying organisms and microorganisms, it leaves by - products called chlramines or bromamines in the water which are carcinogenic in nature i;e cancer causing. Ozone burns off these chloramines and gives water a sparkling finish.

Is ozonated water have pleasant test ? Ozone after destrying organisms, micriorganism and organic matter, increases the oxygen level in water, oxygen saturated waters have a pleasant test while the waters lacking oxygen have an insipid taste. Drinking waters are thus aerated to improve taste. Presence of dissolves oxygen also indicate the absence of hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, nitrite, ferrous iron and organic matter.

Is your drinking water safe ? Water treatment process kills bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms that causes illness or disease, but the byproducts of the process that can form in water can also be potentially dangerous. Researchers in the U.S. have determined a chemical pathway to form cyanogen chloride a toxic disinfection by product. Chemicals and substances, such as chloride used for disinfection reacts with other agents in water to form byproducts which pose health risks. An alternative method is to initially use ozone for disinfecting, reports. The Science Teacher. Since the ozone does not stay in water for a long time it leaves no residue. To act as a disinfectant until the water gets to the tap chloramines and chlorine substitues can be addes finally. (The Hindu Science & Technology dated 20.06.96).

Is ozone powerful than other disinfectant ? Yes, ozone is 3-times more powerful and 3000 - times acts faster than chlroine. U.V lights are stagnant and will not be effective for turbid or coloured water. Testing to date shows that ozonation destroys Cryptosporidium, a pathagenic cyst, similar to giardia, that does not respond to chemical disinfections. It is 100 to 300 times more effective against giardia cyst, as by contect time.
