Definitions

  • Water supply systems get water from a variety of locations, including groundwater (aquifers), surface water (lakes and rivers), and the sea through desalination. After appropriate treatment, the water is supplied to users.
  • Water treatment steps include, in most cases, purification, disinfection through chlorination, ozonation and sometimes fluoridation. Treated water then either flows by gravity or is pumped to reservoirs, which can be elevated, such as water towers, or on the ground. Then the water is distributed to consumers through pipe networks. Once water is used, the wastewater is typically discharged to a sewer system and treated in a sewage treatment plant before being discharged into a river, lake or the sea or reused for landscaping, irrigation or industrial use.
  • a major problem is that infrastructure to distribute water is often aging and poorly maintained and is therefore susceptible to breaks and leaks in the piping. If distribution systems are damaged, water can be contaminated with waterborne disease organisms.
  • sewer pipes are worn out, lack sufficient capacity to absorb sewage or both.
  • Other typical contaminants that can enter fresh water piping include: cooking, heating and motor oils, lawn and garden chemicals, paints and paint thinners, disinfectants, medicines, photographic chemicals, industrial chemicals, swimming pool chemicals, and pesticides. Therefore, in many places, tap water is contaminated.
  • water supplied to consumers is taken directly from wells or rivers with minimum purification. Such places often lack adequate purification, with many lacking even sewage purification, so that both well water and river water can be contaminated.
  • Household point of use (POU) and point of entry (POE) treatment devices rely on many of the same treatment technologies that have been used in central treatment plants such as irradiation with ultraviolet light (UV), reverse osmosis (RO), filtration and chlorine treatment.
  • UV ultraviolet light
  • RO reverse osmosis
  • POU and POE treatment devices treat only a portion of the total flow.
  • POU devices treat only water intended for direct consumption (drinking and cooking), typically at a single tap or a limited number of taps
  • POE treatment devices typically treat all the water entering a single facility, such as house, business, school, or apartment building.
  • RO systems requires high pressure pumps that consume a lot of energy and RO systems can have a very low flow rate.
  • chlorine treatment systems are that the chlorine can have toxic effects, it badly affects the taste and odor of the water, and it does not inactivate all pathogens. For example, Cryptosporidium cysts are unaffected by chlorine.
  • Ozone is a very powerful gaseous reactant and its usefulness has been well established for many years in a wide range of industrial applications. Recently its value in all types of water purification applications has been coming to the fore because of its ability to act as a powerful oxidant, microflocculant and disinfectant without producing toxic side products. Not only can ozone kill bacteria, viruses and cysts in the water 3000 times faster than chlorine, but it also improves the taste and odor of the water, and oxidizes organics and metals in the water. For example, ozone can convert Arsenic III to Arsenic V, which is not only is 60 times less toxic than Arsenic III, but can also be easily adsorption united.
  • Ozone can significantly reduce the number of harsh chemicals such as chlorine that may be needed as a residual and, since organics are removed by the ozone, the amount of their byproducts, suspected to be carcinogens, is even further reduced.
  • ozone is less corrosive than chlorine in water, thus reducing damage to the pipes and enabling them to stay in good condition for longer.
  • CT value (mg*min/l) Contact time (min) * dissolved ozone Concentration (mg/1).

  • An ORP sensor measures the cleanliness of water and its ability to break down contaminants. It has a range of -2,000 mV to +2,000 mV. Since ozone is an oxidizer, the ORP will measure only positive ORP levels (above 0 mV).
  • ORP sensors work by measuring dissolved oxygen. More contaminants in the water result in less dissolved oxygen because the organics consume the oxygen and, therefore, lower the ORP level. The higher the ORP level, the more ability the water has to destroy foreign contaminants such as microbes, or carbon-based contaminants.
  • the ORP level can also be viewed as the level of bacterial activity in the water because a direct link occurs between ORP level and Coliform count in water.
  • the ORP sensor will be a reliable method of verifying that the water exiting the system will contain sufficient dissolved ozone to inactivate all microbiologically contamination since the system is intended for applications where the water that enters the purifier has low turbidity because it was treated in a municipal water treatment plant, but is contaminated microbiologically because of bad infrastructure that mixed clean water with sewage.

  • contact between the contacts and the electrode can be poor, leading to overheating and scorching of the PCB which would necessitate replacement of the PCB.
  • the contacts are spring-loaded, so that, even if an electrode and a PCB are not perfectly parallel, the springs ensure that there is full contact between the contacts and the electrode, independent of the height of the contact, thereby preventing "hot spots" and

  • the time that it takes the water to reach the disinfector, either flowing through the pipes or in the water tank, is typically sufficient to provide sufficient contact time between the water and the ozone to inactivate all the pathogens in the water. This ensures that the water that enters the disinfector is virtually pathogen-free.
