Introduction
Ozone is used to improve water quality e.g. for purification and decomposition of hardly decomposable
substances and decolorization. The conventional method often uses diffuser tubes. However, it has
been found that with ozone fine bubbles, it is possible to use the strong oxidizing power of ozone more
efficiently.
In recent years, the establishment of fine bubble generating technology has made ozone utilization
efficiency higher than that of diffuser tube systems. Test results demonstrate that ozone fine bubble
water generating systems are about 1,6 times more efficient than diffuser tube systems. With this
efficiency increase, cost reduction has become possible.
Decolorization is mainly used for factory wastewater, regeneration and sewage water. It is also used
on a regular basis for sewage treatment facilities, as advanced treatment technology in the dye-house
effluent, etc.

1 Scope
This document specifies a test method to assess the performance of ozone fine bubble water generating
systems used for decolorizing water-soluble dye in e.g. wastewater and industrial water. This document
does not address the impact of ozone on health and environment.

4 Decolorization test by ozone fine bubble water
4.1 Principle
A measured quantity of ozone is sent to a water-soluble dye tank through a fine bubble water generating
system. The absorbance in the tank is optically measured to determine the half-life of absorbance.
Absorbance is measured using e.g. a colorimeter, spectrophotometer or absorbance meter. It is desirable
to use an inline type absorbance measuring instrument. Examples of inline measuring instruments are
shown in Annex A.
4.2 Test environment conditions
The temperature of the test room should be 23 °C ± 3 °C and the relative humidity should be 50 % ± 10 %.
In addition, it should be taken care not to mix fine particles in the test environment.
4.3 Configuration of test equipment
The testing apparatus comprises a raw material gas supply unit, an ozone generator supply unit, a
chemical reaction unit by ozone, and a discharged ozone treatment unit. The configuration of the test
equipment is shown in Figure 1. The ozone reaction unit is indicated by a double line in Figure 1.

4.5 Ozone generator supply unit (B unit)
The conditions for supply of ozone to the ozone reaction unit shall be as follows:
a) The ozone flow rate shall be 0,5 l/min, the ozone yield shall be 3 g/h, it is important that the gas
gauge pressure is set and maintained at a certain level of pressure. In addition, the numerical value
of the gas gauge pressure shall be given in the test report, see Clause 7.
NOTE The conversion between ozone mass concentration and volume fraction is standardized by
ISO 13964:1998, 7.2. The results are reported as micrograms per cubic meter at the chosen reference
