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 |
