Ozone Generator System 5 g per hour – UV Water Systems Oman

Description

Ozone Generator System – 5 g/hour | UV Water Systems Oman

Ozone (O₃) is the most powerful commercially available oxidising disinfectant — approximately 50 times more powerful than chlorine and acting 3,000 times faster. At concentrations achievable with a 5 g/hour ozone generator, ozone destroys bacteria, viruses, and protozoa at the cell membrane level through direct oxidation, eliminates organic compounds that cause colour, taste, and odour in water, and oxidises dissolved iron and manganese for subsequent filtration removal. Unlike chlorine disinfection, ozone leaves no chemical residual in the treated water — it rapidly decomposes back to oxygen (O₂) within minutes of treatment, which makes ozonated water safe for drinking, food contact, and aquaculture without any dechlorination step or waiting period. The 5 g/hour ozone generator supplied by UV Water Systems in Muscat is sized for tank disinfection, storage water treatment, swimming pool ozonation, and small-scale process water oxidation applications across Oman’s residential, commercial, and light industrial sectors.

How Ozone Generation Works

The 5 g/hour ozone generator uses corona discharge technology — dry air or oxygen is passed through an electric discharge chamber where the high-voltage arc breaks O₂ molecules and forms O₃ (ozone). The ozone-enriched gas stream is then injected into the water to be treated via a venturi injector or diffuser stone. Ozone immediately begins oxidising organic matter, bacteria, and dissolved metals in the water. Any excess dissolved ozone decomposes back to oxygen within 20–30 minutes, leaving no chemical residual in the treated water. A contact tank or reaction vessel is used with sufficient retention time for complete ozone reaction before water is consumed or passed to the distribution system. UV Water Systems designs complete ozone treatment systems including the generator, venturi injector, contact tank, and off-gas ozone destruction for commercial and industrial applications.

Key Features and Benefits

• 5 g/hour ozone output: Sufficient for disinfecting 5,000–10,000-litre storage tanks per treatment cycle, treating 1–2 m³/hour of process water continuously, or maintaining ozone residual in a swimming pool or aquaculture tank up to approximately 50 m³.
• Corona discharge generation: More energy-efficient than UV ozone generation at this output scale — corona discharge produces ozone concentrations of 2–5% by weight in air feed, providing the ozone concentration needed for effective water treatment at reasonable generator size and power consumption.
• No chemical purchase or storage required: Ozone is generated from ambient air on demand — no chemicals to purchase, store, or handle. The only consumable is electrical power, making ozone generation particularly attractive in Oman where chemical supply logistics can be a constraint in remote locations.
• Broad-spectrum oxidation: Simultaneously disinfects (bacteria/virus inactivation), decolourises (removes humic/fulvic acid colour), deodorises (oxidises sulfur and organic odour compounds), and oxidises iron and manganese to insoluble forms for filtration — one treatment process addressing multiple water quality parameters.
• No chemical residual in treated water: Ozone decomposes to oxygen within 20–30 minutes — treated water contains no ozone residual and requires no neutralisation before use, unlike chlorine-treated water which requires dechlorination for sensitive applications like food processing or aquaculture in Oman.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ozone safe to use for drinking water treatment? Yes — ozone is approved for drinking water treatment in most countries including Oman. The treatment process must include a contact vessel with sufficient retention time for complete ozone reaction, followed by a holding period for ozone decomposition before consumption. UV Water Systems designs ozone drinking water systems with correct contact time and off-gas management as per water treatment engineering standards.

Can ozone replace chlorine in a swimming pool? Ozone can significantly reduce chlorine consumption in a pool — typically by 60–80%. Some residual chlorine is still required in the distribution volume of large pools to prevent recontamination after the ozone contact zone. UV Water Systems designs ozone-chlorine hybrid pool systems that maintain water quality with minimal chemical use, reducing chemical handling and chlorine odour in enclosed pool areas across Muscat.
