Abstract
This study was undertaken to devise an innovative method for optimization and control of ozone dosage in drinking water ozonation treatment plants. The method is based upon a specifically-conceived analytical procedure, which can accurately measure the ozone decomposition rate. This was found to consist of two apparent phases: an instantaneous ozone demand (ID) phase and a relatively slower ozone decay (pseudo first-order rate constant, kc) phase. Those parameters, ID and kc were measured in a demonstration plant by the testing procedure in order to characterize raw water and process water, and utilized an Automatic Ozone Control Unit (ACU) to optimize preozonation (with parameter, ID) and postozonation (with parameter,kc).
