Ozone is preferred to chlorine in some plants because it leaves

  • A.a lower dissolved oxygen content in the water
  • B.a protective film on the inside of the mains
  • C.no taste, odour or chlorinated by-product
  • D.a longer lasting residual in the distribution system

Answer: C

Correct answer: no taste, odour or chlorinated by-product

Ozone oxidises without adding chlorine, so it produces none of the chlorophenolic tastes and none of the trihalomethanes that chlorination of organic-bearing water can generate. Its weakness is the other side of the same fact: it decomposes quickly and leaves no residual, so a chlorine dose is usually added afterwards to protect the distribution system.
