Abstract
Basedon the success of the first Hungarian large capacity drinking water treatment ozonation plant of Budapest that was put into operation in 1984, a similar second plant was put into operation in 1988 in Debrecen with 150,000 inhabitants. This recently built plant solves taste and odor problems and water quality development of a surface water treatment plant with a capacity of 50,000 m3/day that is operative for a longer period of time. The experiences gained at the Budapest ozonizing plant were utilized during both planning and construction. Thus, for example, the method of ozone absorption had been modified.
The in-situ repair of the Frings turbines for ozone contacting placed at the Rackeve plant of the Budapest Waterworks will be introduced, as well as a concept of a newer kind of ozone mixing.
