Water treatment | Agrozone

As an agricultural entrepreneur, you are always looking for solutions to grow more/better/sustainably.

And solutions typically cost time, energy and money. Increasing demand for water reuse creates a goal to improve your water quality with the least amount of consumables such as energy, fertilizers and water. This makes ozone a very interesting option and is applied in various ways. Various studies by renowned laboratories have shown that ozone is extremely effective in improving water quality and increasing hygiene within your company. We monitor the water quality by means of the waterside supervision option, which periodically logs the installation and examines the water.

Why use ozone in water?

In 2027, you can no longer discharge water (residue). This means you are stuck with this residual water. Unless, of course, the water is reused. There are several solutions to this, but the most sustainable and effective is the use of ozone in the water.

Ozone (O₃) is a natural gas that is produced on site using oxygen. Amongst other things, ozone is used to:

Purifying drinking water
Oxidise drug residues from water
Control legionella in industrial water streams
Reuse/decontaminate/recirculate supply water

How does ozone purify water?

When the ozone generator adds ozone to the water, that ozone attempts to convert to O₂ as quickly as possible. This causes oxidation, resulting in oxygen-rich water. An additional benefit is that the roots of the crop are fed with even purer water, which has a positive, booster effect on cultivation.

In addition, research by Wageningen University has shown that fungi and viruses are also greatly reduced.

What is the effect of ozone in water?

Once ozone has targeted organic impurities in your water, it reverts back to oxygen – air in the form used by plant roots and humans, O₂. Treatment with ozone is thus a safe, residue-free way of purifying and improving water. The dissolved-oxygen level in the water can increase to as much as 300% to 400%.

An increased oxygen level helps produce a resilient crop, a healthy root environment, stimulate nutrient absorption and thus produce higher crop yields. To produce ozone, systems from Agrozone need only compressed-air and electricity.
