Análise comparativa da ozonização e outros métodos de desinfecção na produção de água potável

Abstract

This dissertation presents a comparative analysis between ozonation, associated with microbubble application, and conventional disinfection methods used in drinking water production. The study was conducted at the São Roque Water Collection Network in Itajaí, Santa Catarina, aiming to evaluate the technical-operational efficiency of ozone use compared to traditional technologies in the sanitation sector. The research, of mixed and experimental nature, combined bibliographical analysis, laboratory experimentation, and a case study. Results showed that the microbubble ozonation system achieved superior performance in removing pathogenic microorganisms and chemical contaminants, establishing itself as an effective and sustainable technological alternative for water treatment.
