Bioburden Control is one of the challenges for the Ultrapure Water System on Space Station Freedom. Bioburden Control must enable the system to deliver water with a low bacterial count (≤ 1 CFU/100 ml), as well as maintain biological contamination at a manageable level, to permit continued production of quality water. Ozone has been chosen as the primary means of Bioburden Control. Planned tests to determine the effectiveness of ozone on free-floating microbes and biofilms are described.
