USO 3
The USO 3 technology utilizes an Advance Oxidation Process (AOP) to achieve the highest level of efficiency. It combines the well-known advantages of ozone with the power of ultrasound.

Either through upstream head or via pump, the liquid enters the unit.
The influent is pre-treated in the initial ultrasound section. The high frequency ultrasound disintegrates the bacteria clusters and cracks the cell walls.

The flow then continues to the first OptimiXer where the optimal dispersion of the ozone gas is accomplished.  The weakened bacteria are highly susceptible to oxidation at this phase.  The second ultrasound section breaks the bacteria down further, increasing the reaction surface while at the same time expediting the oxidation process. The result is a highly efficient disinfection of the influent.

A standard computer/menu interface with the ability to monitor and control the unit remotely is included in every USO 3.

Upon customer request, optional sensors can be easily integrated to be part of the plant’s overall system.


The USO 3 technology is offered in two basic modules:

• 12 inch unit for 5.0 - 25 m³/h (22 - 110 gpm) flow.
• 4 inch unit for 0.5 - 4.0 m³/h (2.2 - 17.6 gpm) flow.

For higher throughput, the modules are connected in series and/or in parallel.
The units can be delivered on a skid, frame or containerized.

Advantages of the USO 3

• Low energy demand.
• Minimal maintenance required.
• Modular, compact and mobile.

Utilized as the last treatment step in a Sewage Plant, the USO 3 has many advantages such as the ability to obtain extremely high disinfection levels, the degradation of viruses, fungi and DNA.

• Improved overall performance of the sewage plant with respect to the parameters Nitrogen, COD, Phosphorous, etc. > up to 60% improvement
• Reduced aeration cost while optimizing the overall oxygen intake for the Sewage plant.
• Degradation of (EDCs and PCPPs) endocrine disrupting compounds and personal care products.

Potential application areas of the USO 3

• Wastewater and Water Disinfection                   
• Improvement of wastewater plant performance and aeration along with disinfection/COD reduction
• EDC + PCPP degradation 
• Tank disinfection
• Rinse water disinfection
• Ultra pure water

Characteristics
