| Process Water |
| The term "process water" covers all types of industrial water applications from recirculated wash water in car washes right |
| through the spectrum to foodstuffs rinsing, steep-water in maltings, cooling water make-up, etc. In each case the addition of |
| ozone will achieve a certain result to improve the process be it simple disinfection or the reduction of an unwanted |
| component.Color Removal |
| Color due to organic molecules or products break down quickly when they come into contact with ozone. The powerful
|
| oxidation potential of ozone has made color removal one of the "classic" ozone applications for drinking water along with |
| taste and odor removal which are also organic based. This need has crossed over to wastewater treatment (industrial and |
| municipal) and today ozone is used extensively to remove color from effluents from dye manufacturers, textile mills, |
| pharmaceutical factories and other industrial companies.Ozone is also used extensively as a "bleach" in many processes |
| such pulp and paper manufacturing, kaolin production and even textiles (stone washed denim).Ozonia has a broad range of |
| products from laboratory scale ozonators to large engineered ozone plants to satisfy any possible color removal need. |

Industrial Effluent |
| Effluent wastewater from an industrial facility may carry a broad and variable range of contaminants, including BOD, COD,
|
| color, phenols, cyanides, sanitary waste and a host of complex chemicals. Ozone, in combination with UV and/or other |
| physical, chemical or biological processes, has the potential to treat complex industrial wastes due to its strong oxidative |
| nature. In combination with medium pressure UV, ozone exhibits the power of advanced oxidation for TOC reduction, as well |
| as destruction of organics. Potential industries that can benefit from ozone and UV include pharmaceuticals, textiles, |
| automotive, foundry, etc. |
