Ozone Dosing & CT Calculator

Size the ozone generator for a target applied dose, then verify EPA Cryptosporidium CT compliance for the contact basin.

General Info

Dosing & Generator Sizing

Typical for a well-designed venturi/fine-bubble injection system: 85-95%. Older or poorly-matched systems can run materially lower (50-70%) — confirm against actual equipment/injector performance data.

CT Results
EPA 40 CFR §141.720(b)(2) Reference Table — Ozone CT for Cryptosporidium Inactivation (mg·min/L)

Values shown are the official published table at the 6 temperatures below; this tool's pass/fail check uses EPA's own continuous equation (footnote 1 to the table) for the exact entered temperature, which reproduces these values at each breakpoint.

Engineering Methodology

CT compliance follows the official US EPA Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (40 CFR §141.720(b)(2)) Cryptosporidium ozone CT table, evaluated via its own sanctioned continuous equation — Log credit = (0.0397 × 1.09757^Temp) × CT — which reproduces the published table exactly at every tabulated temperature. T10 is computed as hydraulic retention time (contact volume ÷ flow) times a baffling factor from the standard EPA/AWWA contact-basin classification (0.1 unbaffled to 0.7 superior).

Theoretical ozone rate (g/h) equals flow (m³/h) times target applied dose (mg/L) — dimensionally exact, since 1 mg/L applied across 1 m³/h is 1 gram of ozone per hour. Required generator output divides that rate by the transfer efficiency of the injection/contact system, since not all generated ozone dissolves into the water — typical well-designed systems achieve 85-95%, and this should be confirmed against actual equipment performance.

Produced Water Treatment: Why Direct Lithium Extraction Turns Zero Liquid Discharge From a Cost Center Into a Profit Center

Oilfield produced water has historically been a disposal problem solved by deep-well injection. As injection wells fill up and induced-seismicity restrictions tighten, the same brine is increasingly being read as a lithium ore body — but only if pretreatment is aggressive enough to protect an extraction bed that has zero tolerance for the oil and silica this water is full of.

Zero Liquid Discharge Is a Sequencing Problem: Why the Membrane-to-Thermal Handoff Point Is the Real Design Decision

Most ZLD comparisons pit MVR against MEE against membrane distillation as if picking one settles the design. The bigger lever is upstream: every extra point of recovery a membrane train squeezes out before handoff removes disproportionate capital and energy from whatever thermal step comes after it.

Semiconductor Ultrapure Water: Why the Failure Mode Isn't Purity, It's the 0.006% You Didn't Test For

Modern UPW trains already hit 18.2 MΩ·cm and sub-ppb TOC as a matter of routine. The events that actually shut down a fab — Intel's 2001 urea excursion, biofilm in dead-legs — trace back to trace-level feedwater chemistry and biology that standard monitoring wasn't built to catch, not to insufficient purification.
