Treatment - Wastewater Discharge
A typical wastewater treatment for discharge using ozone is as follows:
Ozone Polishing - Ozone in this final polishing stage is by far the most effective approach to BOD reduction. As mentioned, ozone is 51% more powerful than chlorine and kills bacteria 3100 times faster.
At this point, companies can either confidently discharge the treated wastewater into local publicly owned treatment works (POTW).
However, enforcement of stringent wastewater discharge regulations and escalating sewage surcharges have forced food processors to look for more cost-effective technologies to provide pretreatment or complete treatment of their wastewater. For these reasons, companies are looking towards recycling /reuse solutions.
Water treatment facilities can also use ozone to polish their discharge waters without the use of chemicals and their undesirable side affects. |
