Wastewater Ozonation: A Process Whose Time Has Come

Abstract:

For many years, ozonation has been a technically viable solution to difficult waste treatment problems. Not until recently, though, has ozonation found growing acceptance as a cost-effective way to meet high-effluent-quality standards. Expanded interest in ozone for municipal wastewater treatment is due to higher treatment requirements of new pollution-control laws; increased recognition of toxicity problems of chlorine use; the trend toward the reuse of wastewater; technical advances in ozone generation; installation of many oxygen-activated sludge secondary treatment systems. Since 1970, the study and use of ozone for treating municipal wastewater has expanded rapidly in the U.S.�� over 20 pilot plants, countless lab-scale studies, leading to some full-scale plants in 1975.
