OVERVIEW
Severe
water contamination in rivers, dams and
boreholes is a big health risk for consumption, washing and even
irrigation
purposes. Contaminated water will often smell and taste appalling and
be
discoloured. Unwanted bacteria, pathogens and viruses can also be
present.

The
PROCESS water treatment system uses Ozone or
(UV) Ultraviolet Light to sterilise the water.
Ozone
is
a molecule consisting of three oxygen
atoms linked together. Ozone gas releases activated oxygen that reacts
with the
cell membranes of bacteria and viruses. There are no bacteria or
viruses that
are resistant to Ozone, as it acts as an Oxidant of Protoplasm. Ozone
is
generated on site and requires no maintenance.
UV
operates at 264 nanometres, which is known as
the Germicidal Spectrum. UV is a proven solution to harmful pathogen
problems.
Various filter media is used together with Ozone and UV to effectively
remove unwanted
organic
contaminants from water which are often responsible for taste, odour,
and
colour problems. The PROCESS water treatment systems will improve water
from a polluted source into pure and healthy drinkable water.

TECHNICAL
Water
is
pumped from the water source into a
treatment tank. Ozone is distributed to react with cell membranes for
oxidising
and sterilising unwanted pollutants. Alternatively, UV can be used to
treat
water before it is distributed. Filter media will be used according to
particles and pollution levels found in the water.
A
manual
or automatic backwash system flushes
the filter media to maintain the treatment system.
Only
the
best quality Ozonators and Ultraviolet
Lights and used to ensure consistent treatment.
