Ozone Disinfection of Drinking Water & Treatment Systems

Spartan offers commercial ozone generators and associated equipment for large scale drinking water treatment with capacities of up to 1320 lbs/day (25 kg/hour).

Depending on the application, up to 40 MGD of water could be treated with the largest units. These systems have been proven over 40 years and hundreds of installations to be effective and reliable. If your drinking water system needs to disinfect, remove iron or manganese, or control taste and odor, ozone can be an excellent treatment option.

Advantages of using ozone in water treatment

There are several advantages of using ozone in water treatment. Ozone is an approved technology for drinking water treatment by the US EPA. It has greater disinfection effectiveness against bacteria and viruses compared to chlorination. Existing and pending Surface Water Treatment Rules will increase interest in ozone and other alternative oxidants and disinfectants. It is one of the strongest disinfectants approved for potable water treatment capable of inactivating bacteria, viruses, giardia and cryptosporidium. Ozone has been used for over a century to treat drinking water with approximately 1,500 installations in Europe and 264 in the US.
