Ozone Destruction

Ozone Destruction

Ozone technology is a proven disinfection approach applied to water disinfection and can be a key part of an overall water treatment process. Ozone can destroy microorganisms and contribute to the reduction of TOC (total organic carbons).

In certain applications, residual ozone may be present which can cause harm to downstream equipment and alter the characteristics of the final product. While the residual ozone will eventually decompose, the application of Wavelengths UV equipment can effectively remove residual ozone post ozone treatment providing potential additional benefits to the water treatment system and does not require the addition of any chemicals.

UV destroys ozone as it severs the bond of one of the oxygen atoms creating an oxygen molecule and an oxygen atom. The free oxygen atoms combine to form an oxygen molecule and any remaining ozone is removed. This process is called dissociation.

Dependent upon the process requirements, Wavelengths UV can be designed to provide a safe, cost effective and environmentally friendly solution to residual ozone removal.
