Abstract Wastewater ozonation has achieved its widest application in the United States of America in the past ten years. Many U.S. facilities designed in the 1970s have manifested significant operational and maintenance problems with the first generation application of ozone technology to wastewater treatment. These problems are reviewed and solutions recommended. The second generation facilities of the 1980s demonstrate higher levels of efficiency, reliability, and operability. The broad application of ozonation to wastewater treatment in the United States of America (U.S.) in the 1970s was carried out with little or no reference to the prior experience of the applications of ozone in the field of drinking water treatment attained in Europe.
