Ozonization of water in a cooling tower was investigated. A laboratory experimental set‐up was employed to study changes in water quality during ozonization. Measured data were analyzed in the context of cooling water's resistance to corrosion, scaling and biofouling. A method is proposed for determining the suitable dosage of ozone for maintaining the necessary water quality. It has been found that ozonization is very effective in maintaining the correct water quality for the required purpose and provides an attractive alternative to the conventional multiple chemical method of cooling water treatment.
