| Abstract: | In water treatment plants equipped with large–scale ozonation facilities, specific safety measures must be constantly reviewed and tested. Safety of employees : in high concentrations, ozone becomes a poisonous gas. This requires adequate means for detection of ozone in traces in the ambient air. ventilation and destruction. individual protection Safety of plant and equipment : ozonation has become an essential phase in the treatment process and ozonators must be fitted with safety devices for the detection and rapid control of hazardous conditions. Experience shows that the measures taken to ensure the safety of employees also improve safety for plant and equipment, and vice versa. The solutions applied demand extra effort at the design stage of the plant, but in return, they result in notable improvements in operating conditions and costs. |
