Ozone in industrial applications
Thanks to intensive development work on more efficient ozone generation, together with improvements in introduction and reactor technology and user friendly process control, ozone has become a popular choice for a wide and steadily expanding range of applications. The rapid growth of interest in ozone as an oxidant is due to its high oxidative potential and the selectivity of the processes that occur. Virtually no residual materials are produced. Industrial applications for ozone technology exploit the enormous disinfection potential as well as the selective oxidation properties of this oxidant.

The main applications include:

• Disinfection of freshwater, process water and cooling water
• Disinfection, detoxification, decolouration and deoderization of wastewater and improvement of its biodegratability
• Oxidation of offgasses
• Optical brightening and bleaching of raw materials (e.g. clay) and products (e.g. paper)
• Improvement of coating processes
• Organic syntheses (ozonolysis processes)
