Clearwater Florida is installing a system to convert 6.5 MGD of brackish water into drinking water. The process involves using RO to remove the dissolved solids. The RO water is then treated with ozone. Poole & Kent Co of Florida has been awarded a contract for the installation of the equipment.
Ozone water treatment is used extensively in Florida and the US for drinking water treatment to remove various contaminates and to disinfect drinking water to make it safe for human consumption. Ozone is produced using ozone generators from air or oxygen. Onnce it disinfects the water, the ozone reverts back to oxygen leaving no residual chemicals. It is also one of the strongest disinfectants used by municipal drinking water facilities killing all the major desease causing organisms.
