Abstract:
Process for recovering and reusing effluent gas from an ozonization reactor in an effluent treating plant which includes a biological reactor, a water/sludge clarifier and an ozonization reactor, the steps comprising:bringing the effluent gas from the ozonization reactor into contact with a stream of water containing compounds that can be oxidized by residual ozone in the effluent gas so that the residual ozone is removed and efficiently consumed;mixing the effluent gas thus stripped of the residual ozone with a fluid taken from the plant so as to produce a gas/liquid mixture;converting said gas/liquid mixture into an emulsion of fine bubbles; andintroducing said emulsion into a bottom portion of the biological reactor.
