Primozone은 오존 발생기를 공급하는 스웨덴의 기업으로 약 300만 유로(약 326만 달러) 규모의 오존 설치를 공급하는 경쟁입찰에 성공했다. 이는 노르웨이 Stavanger의 도시 외곽에 위치한 Langevatn 식수 처리 플랜트를 확장을 위함이다.

Primozone는 세계적인 오존 기술을 갖춘 주요 기업들이 다양한 경쟁을 펼치는 경쟁입찰에 초청되었다. 경쟁입찰에서는 비용에 초점을 두고 평가기준을 제시했으며, 특히 설치를 위한 총 소유 비용에서 Primozone의 오존 기준과 잘 맞는지를 주목했다. 설치된 오존의 양은 일일 960㎏ 규모이다. Langevatn 플랜트는 식수 처리 플랜트로 인구의 증가로 인해 생긴 물의 색·맛·냄새를 제거하려는 목표를 가진다.

Primozone, a Swedish ozone generator supplier, has won a public tender to supply an ozone installation -- worth approximately 3 million euros ($3.26 million) -- for the expansion of the Langevatn drinking water treatment plant, located outside the city of Stavanger, Norway.

Primozone was invited to bid for the public tender in competition with a variety of major global ozone technology manufacturers. The evaluation criteria for the public tender focused on cost, particularly on total cost of ownership for the installation -- criteria that fit well with the features of the Primozone ozone technology.
 
The designed ozone volume is 960 kg/day. Langevatn drinking water treatment plant is expanded due to increased population and a goal to remove color, taste and odor in the water. This is done by adding ozone and biofiltration as treatment steps. These will also serve as an extra barrier (i.e., an extra added treatment step that will prevent bacteria and other pathogens from entering the drinking water).

Ozone is an environmentally friendly water treatment technology that has been used for more than 100 years. Ozone is very oxidative and contains powerful gas that is used for disinfection, conditioning and reduction of hard-to-remove substances such as pharmaceutical residue.

Traditionally, ozone generation has been associated with being a complicated technology with high maintenance and high energy consumption. Primozone provides energy-efficient ozone generators that are easy to operate, as well as produce ozone with a very high ozone concentration. This concentration enables for energy saving throughout the entire ozone water treatment system.
