Conditioning with Oxygen |
| Dissolved oxygen is responsible for a wide range of natural purification processes in water. Oxygen-based chemical and biochemical reactions help condition drinking water and prevent corrosion in distribution pipelines. The oxygen enrichment of untreated water can go a long way towards achieving high-quality drinking water (by eliminating methane, iron (II), manganese (II) and ammonium ions etc.) An oxygen concentration of about 6 mg/l in water entering distribution pipelines provides robust corrosion protection.
The partial pressure of pure oxygen is higher than that of air with the result that its concentration in water is up to 4.8 times higher than that of air. Water enrichment with pure oxygen offers a variety of process efficiencies and cost savings.
Our solution
SOLVOX® resolves the oxygen deficiency problem by injecting pure oxygen into water. Depending on requirements, oxygen can be injected directly into the water line upstream of filtration or before the distribution pipelines using nozzles (SOLVOX®-D) or reactors (SOLVOX®-R).
- SOLVOX®-D: Oxygen injection with a spherical head nozzle.
- SOLVOX®-R: In-line or by-pass injection of oxygen with stainless steel reactors (sizes from 15 to 1000 m³ H2O/h).
The desired amount of oxygen is controlled either manually or automatically.
Advantages of applying oxygen instead of air
- High oxidation potential of pure oxygen
- Increased performance of filter system
- No undesired nitrogen degassing at water tap
- Enhanced drinking-water quality
- Almost no strip effects on carbon dioxide, thus the lime/carbon dioxide balance remains unaffected
- Improved taste
