Advanced Micropollutant Removal With Ozone | Primozone Water Treatment

How Primozone  Is Keeping Water Clean

Water is essential—but keeping it clean is becoming increasingly difficult. Everyday products like medicines, shampoos, and household chemicals leave behind micropollutants that traditional treatment methods struggle to remove. Even in trace amounts, these contaminants can harm aquatic life and disrupt ecosystems.

Primozone’s advanced ozone water treatment systems offer a powerful, sustainable solution for breaking down and removing these hard-to-treat pollutants.

Why Ozone for Micropollutant Removal?

Ozone  is one of the most effective oxidizing agents available. It rapidly breaks down complex organic molecules, pathogens, and inorganic substances—making it ideal for modern wastewater treatment challenges.

Key Benefits of Ozone Treatment

• Removes stubborn micropollutants
• Improves overall water quality
• Reduces sludge and organic load
• Leaves no harmful by-products
• Supports compliance with environmental regulations

How Primozone’s Ozone Technology Works

Step-by-Step Process

1. Ozone Generation
   Pure oxygen is passed through a high-voltage discharge to create ozone on-site.
2. Ozone Injection
   The ozone gas is injected directly into the wastewater stream or biological tanks.
3. Oxidation of Contaminants
   Ozone reacts with and breaks down organic matter, micropollutants, pathogens, and inorganic substances.
4. Clean, Safe Output
   Excess ozone naturally decomposes back into oxygen—leaving clean water and no residual chemicals. 

Case Study: Birmensdorf Wastewater Treatment Plant, Switzerland

The Birmensdorf WWTP upgraded its facility with a Primozone ozone system to enhance advanced wastewater purification for 33,000 local residents.

Project Highlights

• Two Primozone GM36 Ozone Generators installed
• 464 liters of wastewater treated per second
• Significant reduction and elimination of micropollutants
• Full compliance with modern environmental standards
• Strengthened sustainability and public environmental trust

The implementation of ozone technology allowed the plant to future-proof its treatment process while delivering much cleaner effluent back to the environment.

Why It Matters

Upgrading wastewater treatment with ozone means:

• Cleaner rivers, lakes, and natural waterways
• Better protection for wildlife and aquatic ecosystems
• Reduced environmental impact
• A more sustainable water management approach

As micropollutants become a growing global concern, ozone technology is emerging as a leading solution for ensuring safe, clean, and environmentally responsible water treatment.
