OZONE TECHNOLOGY
Presented by:
Mr. A. Sagayaraj
Managing Director
Ozone technology is fast changing the scenario of water & waste water treatment
technology in India with respect to disinfection, purification & effluent colour change.
Though a lot of manufactures of Ozone Generators are using glass electrodes to
produce Ozone in India, there has been a very few who have successfully
manufactured & produced ceramic based electrodes for ozone generation.
Technozone is the pioneer & the only successful Indian Company to have
indigenously manufactured ceramic electrodes for production of state of the art PLC
based High Concentration Ozone Generators (upto 10kg).
This action joins the coating material to the surface of the workpiece with a tenacious
mechanical bond. Bond strengths in excess of 10,000 psi are obtained. Coating
hardness can go upto 1350 VHN.
Technozone has researched & developed the Ceramic Electrodes which are coated
with D-Gun and which has the highest di-electric strength. These ceramic electrodes
are utilized to produce highest concentration Ozone. Currently in India Ozone
generators are manufactured with glass electrodes which have very low concentration
& reliability and occupy 10 times more space than ceramic electrodes. On the other
hand ceramic electrodes produce high concentration ozone occupying very little space
and consuming less power.

Ozone is produced on a commercial-scale by means of silent electrical discharge the result of a high-
voltage alternating field acting between two electrodes separated by a dielectric and a narrow gap. The
feed gas, usually air or oxygen, flows through the narrow gap across which the discharge occurs. The
ozone generator‘s electrodes are two concentric tubes, an outer tube made of stainless steel and an
inner electrode formed by a layer of metal on the inside of a dielectric. The metal electrode is cooled by
water flowing around the outside of it.
4. WHAT IS OZONE
O2 + O2 (electric discharge) O2 + O +O O3 + O
• Very large scale generators producing several kgs of ozone (15 kgs &
more) are possible by modular attachment with very efficient use of space which
is not possible with glass electrodes for such high capacities.
7. TEXTILE WASTE WATER TREATMENT WITH OZONE
TECHNOLOGY
Introduction
The textile industry produces large quantities of effluents which are very toxic and
resistant to destruction by physico-chemical treatment methods and are not very
biodegradable. The non biodegradability of textile wastewater is due to their high
content of dyestuffs, surfactants and additives which generally are organic compounds
of complex structures . Textile wastewater, being nonbiodegradable under both
natural and sewage treatment plant conditions, is a potential nuisance to the
environment.
Ozonation is a very effective method of wastewater treatment capable of removing
color and toxic organic compounds from textile effluents. Ozone application, due to
its high oxidizing power, may achieve at least a partial destruction or removal of
many refractory organic materials and ozone leaves no by-products and furthermore it
is a disinfectant.
The ability of ozone to destroy dyestuffs and to cause alteration in surfactant
molecular structure resulting in changes of the material characteristics is already well
known and it leads to reduction of foaming ability and decoloration.
However, a combined method of ozone pretreatment and subsequent biodegradation
can be recommended for textile wastewater treatment
Ozone treatment
Conclusion
Ozone is a powerful oxidant agent for water and wastewater. Once dissolved in water,
ozone reacts with a great number of organic compounds in two different ways: by
direct oxidation as molecular ozone or by indirect reaction through formation of
secondary oxidants like hydroxyl radical.
Ozone application can be generalized into two; a powerful disinfection and a strong
oxidant to remove colour and odour, eliminating trace toxic synthetic organic
compounds and assisting in coagulation.
8. CONCLUSION
Ozone technology is the most environment friendly process that is available in the
world today to treat effluent & sewage waste waters and for purification &
disinfection of water. The following points summarize the real need to go for this
1. The total elimination of sludge (resulting due to the use of chemicals for
colour removal) in the Textile Effluent treatment is the single most primary
advantage which would encourage any dying plant to go for this technology.
production cost.
4. Ozone technology is clean & environment friendly and is very safe to use
without polluting the atmosphere (water & air) unlike any other chemical
treatment.

The hurdles faced by the activated sludge process are two fold: technological and
economical. While the activated sludge process is able to perform nitrification,
denitrification, and phosphorus removal, this is not the ideal process for these
purposes. For example, in cold weather conditions, nitrification in activated sludge is
extremely inefficient. Moreover, the activated sludge process is extremely vulnerable
to toxic shocks, washouts, and process upset conditions.
The moving bed bio-reactor (MBBR) process uses free floating polyethylene carriers
inside aeration basins. The biofilm carriers are thoroughly mixed and distributed
throughout the aeration basins. Biofilm grows on the protected surface areas of the
carriers and provides much higher biomass than in the activated sludge process. Since
the biomass is attached to the carriers, this MBBR process is also called the fluidized
fixed-film process as opposed to the suspended growth process of activated sludge.
The fixed-film (or attached growth) processes typically have three to four times the
“equivalent” MLSS as compared to the activated sludge process. Due to this compact
nature, the MBBR process can save up to 50 – 75% of space when compared to the
activated sludge process. Alternatively, an existing activated sludge process can be
easily retrofitted to add nitrification and denitrification process without any new
construction.
The Integrated Fixed-Film Activated Sludge (IFAS) process is similar to the MBBR
process with the key difference of recycled activated sludge (RAS). In an MBBR,
RAS is not required whereas in an IFAS, the RAS is recycled to take advantage of the
existing infrastructure such as the clarifiers. The addition of equivalent MLSS on the
carriers plus the suspended phase MLSS greatly enhance the treatment capacity
without new construction or additional space requirement.
For new installations of wastewater plants, the following table provides a comparison
of the MBBR and the IFAS processes relative to the activated sludge process.
In this presentation, we will provide a brief overview of our technologies and a few
case studies with our installations in North America and Europe.
