本文回顾了密歇根州门罗市公共供水的臭氧氧化。自1979年以来，臭氧氧化系统已在所有条件下有效地消除了味道和气味。本文讨论了门罗工厂臭氧氧化的以下有益副作用:提高臭氧水中明矾的性能；向过滤器输送更高质量的水；延长过滤器运行时间，减少水头损失；减少反洗频率；胶体水的有效失稳；减少氯需求；三卤甲烷浓度和三卤甲烷生成潜力降低；局部消毒；销毁氰化物；改善水质监测。作者描述了设备的可靠性、臭氧的产生和臭氧厂运行和维护材料的可用性、系统的自动和手动控制、系统的安全性以及系统的经济性。 包括7个参考文献，表1。

This article reviews ozonation of the public water supply at Monroe, Michigan. In place since 1979, the ozonation system has effectively destroyed tastes and odors under all conditions. The following beneficial side effects of ozonation at the Monroe plant are discussed: improved performance of alum in ozonated water; higher quality water to the filters; extended filter runs with less head loss; reduced frequency of backwashing; effective destabilization of colloidal waters; reductions in chlorine demand; reduction in concentration of trihalomethanes and trihalomethane formation potential; partial disinfection; destruction of cyanide; and improved water quality monitoring. The author describes reliability of the equipment, ozone generation and availability of materials for operation and maintenance of the ozone plant, automatic and manual control of the system, safety of the system, and economics of the system. Includes 7 references, table.
