Among the chemical treatments tested, ozonation showed the most promise. There are special process requirements to be met to allow ozonation to be economical as well as effective. A patent was awarded to Bollyky Associates Inc. covering this process and the use of ozone for Zebra Mussel control. Ideally, this ozonation process controls Zebra Mussel infestation and disinfects the water against pathogenic microorganisms at the same time. An 11 MGD side stream ozonation process was designed for a fish culture station in New England.
