UVozonáció
UVozonáció is a process that combines ultraviolet (UV) light and ozone (O3) for water disinfection and oxidation. This dual-action method is employed in various water treatment applications, including drinking water purification, wastewater treatment, and swimming pool sanitation. The UV light component acts as a germicide, damaging the DNA and RNA of microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, rendering them unable to reproduce and thus inactive. Ozone, a powerful oxidizing agent, is introduced into the water and further breaks down organic contaminants, as well as inactivating pathogens. The combination of UV and ozone often provides a synergistic effect, meaning the overall effectiveness is greater than using either method alone. UVozonáció can also reduce the concentration of certain chemical pollutants and improve the taste and odor of water. The process typically involves passing water through a chamber where it is exposed to UV radiation and concurrently or subsequently bubbled with ozone gas. The residence time and intensity of the UV light, along with the ozone dosage, are critical parameters for achieving effective treatment.
