Oxygen Generation for the Ozonation of Process and Drinking Water

Purity is in the Air
Ozonation can help remove chemical elements such as iron or manganese as well as organic substances and bacteria from the untreated water. The oxygen needed for this is produced using special oxygen generators.

Water is possibly the most important asset there is. However, untreated water is usually contaminated with various substances and has to be treated before it can be used as process water in the industry or as drinking water. A common application in the treatment of drinking water involves the oxidation of untreated water that exhibits elevated levels of iron and manganese. Iron and manganese are often found in deeper-lying ground water with a low oxygen content. According to the drinking water ordinance, the limits of iron (0.2 mg/l) and manganese (0.05 mg/l) must not be exceeded as very high quantities can negatively impact people’s health and cause technical damage to the system components of water supply companies and pipework systems.
