In municipal water treatment, ensuring water is not only safe but also visually appealing is paramount. Discoloration often resulting from natural organic matter or metal ions can lead to public concern and decreased confidence in water quality. Traditional treatment methods may fall short in addressing these aesthetic issues.
Understanding Water Discoloration
Common causes of water discoloration include:
- Dissolved Organic Matter: Substances like humic and fulvic acids from decaying vegetation can impart a yellow or brown hue.
- Iron and Manganese: These naturally occurring metals can cause reddish or brownish tints and may lead to staining.
While not typically harmful, these discolorations can affect public perception and satisfaction.
The Ozone Advantage
Ozone (O3) is a powerful oxidizing agent that effectively addresses discoloration
- Oxidation of Organic Compounds: Breaks down color-causing organic molecules into colorless substances.
- Metal Oxidation: Converts soluble iron and manganese into insoluble forms that can be filtered out
- No Harmful By-products: Unlike some chemical treatments, ozone decomposes into oxygen, leaving no residual chemicals.
