Since ozone quickly converts to oxygen and leaves no toxic residual, it may be more advantageous than chlorine to treat wastewater prior to discharge. Since dissolved ozone reverts to oxygen, the effluent will exert less biological oxygen demand (BOD) on the receiving stream. Ozone’s effectiveness as an oxidant often makes it the method of choice for removing color, organic chemicals and odor-causing contaminants in wastewater. In many cases, depending on the ozone contact time and concentration, it is capable of oxidizing these contaminants to water and carbon dioxide.
As examples, toxic herbicides and pesticides may be reduced to more environmentally friendly components; non-biodegradable organic compounds may be reduced to smaller biodegradable parts; proteins and carbohydrates may be lysed at double-bonded carbons to damage and destroy critical components of organisms found in the water.. Since the free hydroxyl is so highly reactive, the contact time necessary is minimal, as compared to other disinfectants.
Ozone may be combined with other oxidation processes, such as ultraviolet irradiation, hydrogen peroxide (another powerful oxidant) and proprietary catalysts to speed these oxidation process. This combination of oxidation steps are referred to as Advanced Oxidation Processes or AOP.

many people think ozone is the earth protective layer but on the other hand ozone is used for kills bacteria in drinking water in some countries,and as treatment for agricultural product.but it is important to know how to properly use ozone to stay safe and protect environment. ozone strength increase when it mixed water and kills bacteria in water even faster furthermore cashdio's patented machine is capable producing ozone from oxygen molecules in the air and when ozone molecules mixing with water.this machine capable ozonised water with extraordinary high oxidised power than average cleaner.the bacteria killing power of this ozonised water makes nature sanitizer.
