Abstract

The domestic ozonizers are equipments of reduced size that can be used to obtain small volumes of microbiological high quality drinking water. With the use of this ozonizers it is not necessary to boil water or to consume bottled water. In the Ozone Research Center of Cuba, a line of domestic ozonizers that gives a local solution for drinking water treatment was designed, built and evaluated. The current work deals with the evaluation of the main parameters that characterize the performance of these equipments. They were evaluated in winter and summer, to consider the temperature and humidity variations of Cuban tropical climate. This evaluation included the control of their operation conditions: water pressure, water and gas flows, continuous operation time and gas and liquid ozone concentration as mean parameters. Finally microbiological tests for water quality were carried out. The best
operation conditions were: inlet water pressure in the equipment: 1 kg/cm2, water flow: 1 L/min, ozone concentration in water: higher than 0.3 mg/L, time of the continuous operation: 10 min, time before the equipment can be turned on again: 15 min. The equipment under these conditions was capable of eliminating high concentrations of different kinds of microorganisms in the water.
