Ozone can serve as an important component to a comprehensive water treatment system – its properties reduce microbiological organisms and degrade many organic contaminants in water. Additionally, residual dissolved ozone ultimately decomposes into oxygen.
However, residual ozone represents a potential hazard and it can be damaging to finished goods, as well as to processing and fabrication equipment. Utilizing UV to reduce ozone is a good solution, as it does not require additives that may leave behind residuals.
UV light reduces ozone in water very quickly. The mechanism for reduction is dissociation, which occurs when UV energy breaks one of the oxygen bonds in an ozone molecule.
