The main benefits of O3:
- Antibacterial and antiviral action.
- Anti-oxidant action of the ingested water.
- Reduction of harmful metals in the water, with subsequent improvement in its quality.
- Odourless and flavourless.
- Effective in waste water for reducing BOD with a significant reduction in COD (acronym for Chemical Oxygen Demand).
Amount of oxygen necessary to oxidize, with a strong oxidizing agent, substances that bacteria cannot degrade (and therefore not just referring to biodegradable substances) and in addition inorganic substances.
The BOD/COD ratio defines, usually, the biodegradability of the substances.
Purification of industrial water:
- Purification of waste water with particular regard to BOD, COD, Iron, Manganese, Sulphide, Cyanide, Nitrites.
- Treatment of sludge.
- Oxidation of organic compounds.
- Deodorization of rivers and exhaust gas.
