Micro Pollutant Removal from Drinking Water
Organic micro pollutants are found in surface and ground waters, always in conjunction with more or less NOM, but at
relatively low concentrations in the range of 0.1 μg.L-1 to 100 μg.L-1 (in water sources of sufficient quality for a water
supply). In practical ozone applications, trace organic oxidation has not been a primary task, but was considered to be a
positive side effect. the table below shows some expected reductions:

AOP - Advanced Oxidation Processes, combine ozone with UV, peroxide and catalysts to form hydroxyl radicals. Hydroxyl
radicals are extremely strong oxidizing species that can break down virtual all organic compounds to carbon dioxide.
