  • Publication number: 20190225520
    Abstract: In a liquid treatment system with an inlet and an outlet defining a liquid flow direction from the inlet to the outlet, a liquid treatment zone is arranged between the inlet and the outlet. The liquid treatment zone includes ultraviolet radiators arranged to radiate ultraviolet radiation into a liquid flowing through the treatment zone. A first transition zone downstream of the inlet and a second transition zone upstream of the outlet, adapt the cross section of the inlet to the cross section of the treatment zone, and the cross section of the treatment zone to the cross section of the outlet, respectively. The inlet, the transition zones, the treatment zone and the outlet confine the liquid flow in a closed channel, so greater durability of the radiators and the channel wall material is achieved by providing a degassing between the inlet and the treatment zone at the top of the channel.

  • Patent number: 10287182
    Abstract: Method for controlling a water treatment installation having a supply, an ozonization stage, a transfer stage, a biological filter and a discharge having the following steps: measuring a first parameter set in the supply, wherein, a measurement for a first concentration of micro-contaminations and/or a nitrite concentration is determined; controlling the ozonization stage in such a manner that an ozone supply is carried out in a preselected ratio to the measured first parameter set; measuring a second parameter set in the transfer stage, wherein, a measurement for a second concentration of micro-contaminations is determined; controlling the ozonization; measuring a third parameter set in the discharge, wherein, with reference to the third parameter set, a measurement of a third concentration of micro-contaminations is determined; if the measurement for the concentration of micro-contaminations exceeds a predetermined maximum value in the discharge, increasing the ozone supply.

  • Patent number: 10046994
    Abstract: A method for treating contaminated liquids in a flow by ozone, wherein the ozone is fed in gas form into the flow at one point and then is mixed into the flow in stages by mixers following one another in the flow direction, so that an absolute quantity of introduced ozone increases after each mixer until a feed efficiency of more than 95 percent is reached.

  • Publication number: 20180215631
    Abstract: Method for controlling a water treatment installation having a supply, an ozonisation stage, a transfer stage, a biological filter and a discharge having the following steps: measuring a first parameter set in the supply, wherein, a measurement for a first concentration of micro-contaminations and/or a nitrite concentration is determined; controlling the ozonisation stage in such a manner that an ozone supply is carried out in a preselected ratio to the measured first parameter set; measuring a second parameter set in the transfer stage, wherein, a measurement for a second concentration of micro-contaminations is determined; controlling the ozonisation; measuring a third parameter set in the discharge, wherein, with reference to the third parameter set, a measurement of a third concentration of micro-contaminations is determined; if the measurement for the concentration of micro-contaminations exceeds a predetermined maximum value in the discharge, increasing the ozone supply.

  • Patent number: 9594015
    Abstract: A method for the determination of the radical scavenging potential of a water, and includes determining the degradation of at least one reference substance in the water as a result of irradiation with UV light of at least one wavelength in the range of 100 to 350 nm, and a device for carrying out such determination with the aim of controlling a process for the oxidative treatment of water.

  • Publication number: 20130264292
    Abstract: A device and a method for treating liquids by ozone, including a pipe in which a main flow of the liquid is guided in a flow direction from an inlet to an outlet, an ozone feed point at which ozone can be introduced in gas form into the main flow, and at least two mixers which are located downstream of the ozone feed point, wherein the mixers are arranged at a distance from one another, and wherein at least one reaction zone is formed between the mixers, and wherein the mixers are designed in such a way that they each dissolve only a portion of the ozone in the main flow that has been introduced in gas form.
