System Operations

Refer to the Process Flow Diagram for more information
When processed water is required, the primary pump may be remotely energized from a dry contact source, or from an optional on board pressure switch and bladder tank.
Ozonated wastewater is drawn from holding tank No. 2 into the primary pumps stainless steel filter basket. Here large debris is captured prior to entering the pump.
The water then enters the primary filter where all particles and globules larger than 25 micron cross sections are captured. This filter may be easily and quickly be cleaned or replaced. After leaving the primary filter, the water enters the secondary filter where chemicals, oils, and small debris (larger than 5 micron cross-section) are removed.
The water is now clean and free of chemicals, dyed organic and inorganic materials, and ready for re-use.
The Con-Serv systems are equipped with filter monitors, which indicate when the filters are becoming clogged with debris.
Maintenance of the system is to inspect and clean the pump basket strainers daily, clean and or replace the primary and secondary filters as indicated by the filter monitoring gauges.
Ozonation process in filtration:
The ozone re-circulation pump runs continuously drawing water from the last tank and pulling through a stainless steel filter basket (where large debris is trapped), then sending it through a centrifugal vortex style particle separator. In the centrifugal particle separator the heavy sand and dirt particles are extracted and returned to the drain sump. The processed water from the centrifugal particle separator is then forced through the ozone injector where ozone and dry air are injected into the water stream.
Immediately the ozone starts to react with the organic and inorganic materials in the waste water: this reaction continues as the water is transferred back into the holding tank No.1.
The ozone reacts with the oils, waxes, dyes and solvents to de-emulsify these materials where they are removed from the water, forming floating dry dirty foam at the surface. This foam may be removed with oil absorbent cloth materials, or it may be floated off to a holding bin via overflow of the No. 1 holding tank.
The ozone reacts with the organic materials by oxidation. Bacterial cells are killed and turned into a globule material, which is easily captured by the post filtration. Killing the bacteria cell prohibits the accumulation of odor associated with reclaim water.
The ozone reacts with the inorganic materials in the water by chemical oxidation reactions, which generally turn these materials into an inert oxide chemical form, which either settles out of the water or is caught in post filtration.
This ozonation process may be timed for small holding tanks with moderately dirty water, or may be left to run continuously for larger tanks.
