Amagasaki Waterworks uses Mitsubishi ozone water treatment system

Hanshin Water Supply Authority's Amagasaki Waterworks has taken delivery of Mitsubishi Electric’s ozone water treatment system comprising an ozone generator, a contact tank and an off-ozone gas destructor to provide purified water to the cities of Kobe, Amagasaki, Nishinomiya and Ashiya.

The newly installed ozone system, which will start operating in August 2010, is claimed to disinfect, deodorize, decolorize and remove organic matter with greater oxidizing power than chlorine, while producing oxygen as the only by-product in water treatment process.

Mitsubishi Electric's ozone system is compact in size due to its small-diameter glass dielectric and its technology is claimed to improve ozone generating capacity per electrode and facilitate low power/oxygen consumption due to increased power density developed through manufacturing techniques.

Amagasaki Waterworks, located in Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, is suppling purified water to the four cities since 1942, and hopes to use the new system to increase its water treatment capacity and stabilize water supply throughout its service area.
