Ozone reduces lifetime cost of water
treatment
Waterwise Technology has developed a range of ozone generators with serviceable cells for food or pharmaceutical process water applications, water and effluent treatment processes and cooling towers
Waterwise Technology has developed a range of ozone generators with fully serviceable cells for use in food or pharmaceutical process water applications, water and effluent treatment processes and cooling towers The WCG ozone generators produce a powerful biocide as a disinfectant and incorporate ozone cell modules guaranteed for ten years

Ozone is generated electrically from air and breaks down naturally to normal oxygen leaving no residual toxins or pollutants.
When used in process equipment, ozone destroys all bio-films and bacteria in the water throughout the pipework and is an alternative to UV treatment systems which only disinfect the water as it passes through the unit and provide no residual disinfectant to treat the pipework and equipment surfaces.
Jon Fielder, Technical Director of Waterwise Technology, says: "Our WCG ozone generators enable operators to treat large and small volume recirculating process water systems without the need for chemical biocides or heat sterilisation.

We have a team of engineers who work with customers prior to installation to design and integrate the ozone system to match the installation and layout.
This ensures that our customers are completely comfortable with the equipment, which is optimised to suit their installation.
It provides a treatment plant which is much safer and easier to operate than chemical, heat sterilisation or UV processes and presents them with real operational cost savings".
Unlike many ozone water treatment systems where the generator cell is a sealed entity, Waterwise technology is designed so that the cell has separate components making it fully serviceable.
The WCG ozone generators are designed for use in heavy-duty industrial environments and have the capability of operating continuously at 100% capacity where required.
"Ozone generator cells process a significant volume of air or oxygen and require regular cleaning and maintenance.
If the cell on a sealed system becomes fouled or has to be replaced for any reason it can cost the customer up to a third of the original investment.
With our WCG system it is just a matter of cleaning and/or changing minor components.
Ozone technology provides users with considerable benefits over chemical water treatment and is the safest and most powerful oxidising disinfectant available," says Jon.
Ozone technology in process water applications is well established internationally, notably in the USA and mainland Europe where there is tighter legislation on pollution and the environmental impact of chemical biocide discharges to the environment.
Popularity in the UK is growing rapidly with the increasing focus on the many environmental, health and safety and cost benefits over using chemical processes.
