Abstract
During laboratory assays of microbiological inactivation in a pilot water treatment plant (36 1/h) with drinking water artificially contaminated with poliovirus 1 and fecal indicator bacteria, ozonation shows a very strong disinfection power. There is no significant difference in the sensibility of these microorganisms to ozone. In the same laboratory plant during raw wastewater disinfection assays, the indigenous enteric viruses present a greater resistance to ozone than the indigenous fecal indicators. These results point out the important difference between the use of laboratory strains and indigenous microorganisms and confirm the interest in ozone disinfection for virucidal purposes.
