The use of ozone for water treatment
Operating principles
The A-7 ozone generator uses corona discharge technology to generate ozone, a powerful oxidizing agent used for water disinfection and purification. By passing air or oxygen through the quartz dielectric, ozone is produced and dissolved in the water to remove contaminants.
Benefits of ozone
- Powerful disinfectant: ozone is more effective than chlorine in eliminating bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms.
- Eliminates odors and taste: Significantly improves the odor and taste of water by oxidizing organic compounds and other contaminants.
- It leaves no harmful residues: after use, ozone decomposes into oxygen, avoiding the presence of harmful chemical by-products.
Common applications
- Water treatment plants: Used for the purification of drinking water, ensuring compliance with quality standards.
- Swimming pools and Jacuzzis: Keeps water free of microorganisms without the adverse effects of chlorine, such as skin and eye irritations.
- Food and beverage industry: Used in the washing of fruits, vegetables and bottling water to ensure hygiene and prolong the shelf life of products.
- Aquaculture: Used to maintain a healthy aquatic environment in fish hatcheries, reducing bacterial load and improving water quality.
Recommendations for use
- Installation: place the generator in a dry and well ventilated place. Ensure proper connection to the power supply and to the air or oxygen line.
- Maintenance: regularly check and clean the generator components, especially the quartz dielectric and the cooling system.
- Security: Avoid direct exposure to inhaled ozone. Use personal protective equipment if necessary and follow current safety regulations.

Additional notes
- Capacity: It represents the amount of ozone generated per hour. It is provided for both air and oxygen supply.
- Maximum flow: This is the maximum air or oxygen flow that the generator can handle, calculated for a dose of 0.4 ppm.
- Type and dielectric: All models use corona discharge with a quartz dielectric, which ensures efficient and long-lasting ozone generation.
