Rotameters and Ozone Generation for Water Treatment

Ozone is recognized among the strongest, fastest, commercially available disinfectants and oxidants for water treatment, ozone is used in both the disinfection of drinking water and bacterial killer in wastewater treatment.
 

Introduction

ozone1

For nearly 100 years, ozone has been used all over the world for water sanitation. It is nature's strongest oxidizer and has a byproduct of pure oxygen. Chlorine, on the other hand, is a very effective, time-proven chemical, but is ineffective against hard-to-kill microorganisms such as cryptosporidium; it also has some unpleasant byproducts.

Ozone is used in a large percentage of municipal water treatment facilities as well as pharmaceutical companies where pure water is essential.

Challenges

Municipal customers needed a price-competitive means of monitoring locally and through a control system to ensure the proper flow of ozone was being injected to meet EPA standards.

Large municipalities with both a water purification system and a waste treatment facility, have upgraded to an ozone generation system to remove bacterial pathogens from both water streams.

Solutions

Due to its competitive pricing, prominent display, and optional 4-20 mA transmitter with limit switches, Yokogawa's RAMC Rotameter is an excellent choice for municipal customers. The RAMC Rotameter includes a limit switch that triggers an alarm, notifying the operator if ozone flow falls below the required level.

  • Water & Wastewater

    All water, regardless of its source, has value. However, with water resources being finite, a focus on "One Water" is necessary to maximize every drop within the water system, ensuring a stable supply of clean and safe water.  As we consider current and future needs, planning and implementation are critical for long-term resilience and reliability, meeting both community and ecosystem demands. Yokogawa believes water is a human right for all. Thus, contributing to a sustainable water cycle is one of our Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
