Comparison of Ozone Vs UV in Water

ULTRA VIOLET (UV) OZONE
The energy is not enough to destroy all types of bacteria, virus, protozoa, and fungus
Mercilessly kills all bacteria and virus
Requires more contact time as the UV rays is stationery & hence water has to be exposed to it for a longer time
The reaction is instantaneous as the gas mixes with water. The reaction rate is 3,200 times faster than any known method
If the water is turbid & has high level of suspended solids, the penetration of the rays is not deep
Reduces turbidity and the suspended dissolved solids do not make any difference
Scale forms on the tube thereby reducing the disinfections rate
Disinfections rate is constant and there is no scale formation
Cannot eliminate algae & biofilms
Eliminates algae & biofilms
Cannot kill SPORES of bacteria & virus
Eliminates even SPORES
Does not act as flocculent
Act as flocculent
Does not eliminate ODOR
Eliminates ODOR
Does not eliminate COLOUR
Eliminates COLOUR
Cannot treat waste water
Treats any type of water
UV light cannot increase or decrease energy
Ozone can be increased or decrease to to desired level for effective treatment of water
The Intensity of the bulbs start reducing
Intensity can not waver once fixed
Has very narrow application (Bacteria elimination only)
Has wide applications like eliminating bacteria, odor, color, treating waste water, effluent & so on
UV intensity can not be measured
Ozone presence can be felt
Can not stop corrosion.
Stops corrosion completely
Can not store as SPORES will breed and bacteria will come alive
Treatment is permanent
Bulbs get fused often
No bulbs involved
Needs maintenance
No maintenance required
