Drinking Water Treatment with O₃

Ozone has been used in potable water treatment since the late 18th century. Ozone (O₃) a naturally occurring allotrope of oxygen has the highest oxidation potential of all commercially available oxidants. Inorganic and organic materials will be oxidized by ozone more rapidly and at lower residual concentrations than other chemicals.

Ozone is becoming the primary oxidant of choice in many water and waste water applications. Published C·t values for parasites like giardia cyst, cryptosporidium oocyst, virus and bacteria indicate a significant advantage for ozone. The key to the use of ozone has been the efficient transfer of ozone gas to solution and effective removal of untransfered and entrained gas. The GDT™ Process accomplishes both in a compact, easy to install and maintain package.

Ozone is aspirated via high efficiency Mazzei^® Injectors in the patented GDT™ Process. The dynamic mixing and mass transfer that occurs at the injector is enhanced with a reaction vessel or Flash Reactor™ specifically designed for each application. A patented degas separator and degas relief valve remove entrained gases for processing. The total process takes place under pressure to maximize ozone mass transfer with rates in excess of 95%. The GDT™ Process is ideal for side stream high concentration ozone contacting to treat any flow rate.

Look for The Mazzei^® Design . . . Because It's What's Inside That Matters!
