ozonation
Disinfection via gas
Ozonation is the treatment of water or air with ozone, typically to disinfect or remove contaminants.
Municipal water systems use ozonation as an alternative to chlorination: The plant switched from chlorination to ozonation.
The process oxidizes organic compounds and kills microorganisms without leaving chemical residues.
