A complete ozone drinking water system will be part of a new £16 million treatment works being built in York, UK.
The Acomb Landing project will provide water to the residents of York from early 2013 and replaces the aging current water treatment works which have provided drinking water to residents of York since 1846. The new treatment works will be able to treat more water, around 9 MGD, and will exceed current water quality standards, supplying improved drinking water.
Ozone will be used to remove pesticides from the water at the new works. The package includes ozone generators, control systems, measuring tools, dissolution mixing systems, static mixers and ozone destroyers. It will be delivered in January 2012.
Water treatment with ozone is effective and environmental safe when compared to treatment with chemicals such as chlorine. Oxidation by ozone kills microorganisms and cleans, treats, and disinfects water. It can also be used to control the taste, odor and color of water.
