Ozone-based water oxidation for treatment

A strategic technology for modern industry

In today’s industrial landscape, where environmental performance and cost efficiency are key priorities, ozonation stands out as a leading solution for water treatment and oxidation. Based on the use of ozone (O₃), a highly powerful natural oxidant, this technology combines efficiency, safety and sustainability.

A clean and powerful oxidation process

Ozone acts as a fast and non-selective oxidant capable of breaking down complex organic compounds, eliminating microorganisms and neutralising unwanted dissolved substances in water.
After reaction, ozone naturally converts into oxygen, leaving no persistent chemical residues, making it an environmentally responsible solution.

Fields of application

Ozone technology is now widely used across a range of strategic sectors:

Drinking Water Treatment

  • High-performance disinfection without chlorinated by-products
  • Removal of tastes, odours and micropollutants
  • Overall improvement of sanitary quality

Industrial and Wastewater Treatment

  • Oxidation of hard-to-treat pollutants
  • Reduction of organic load
  • Optimisation of downstream biological processes

Food & Beverage Industry

  • Safe process water
  • Chemical-free cleaning
  • Extended product shelf life

Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics

  • High-purity water production
  • Strict microbiological control
  • Compliance with international standards

Textile, Pulp & Paper and Chemical Industries

  • Efficient colour removal
  • Reduced use of chemical reagents
  • Lower environmental footprint

Aquaculture and Fish Farming

  • Improved water quality
  • Enhanced sanitary control
  • Better biological productivity

Benefits for industry

Implementing ozone technology provides a strong competitive advantage:

  • Improved treatment performance
  • Lower chemical consumption
  • Reduced sludge and waste generation
  • Enhanced safety through on-site ozone production
  • Simplified compliance with environmental regulations

A major asset for water treatment systems

Ozone is increasingly recognised as a sustainable alternative to conventional disinfectants.
It allows:

  • elimination of toxic chlorination by-products,
  • effective treatment of emerging contaminants,
  • and significant improvement of water sensory properties.

A future-oriented technology

In the face of water scarcity and growing environmental challenges, ozonation represents a reliable and long-term industrial solution. It supports companies in their environmental responsibility strategy while strengthening their operational performance.
