Processes requiring low concentrations of ozone may
be serviced with clean, dry air (21% O2).
Typically, ozone is generated from concentrated oxygen
(>90% O2) to yield higher concentrations
of ozone.
Pacific Ozone generators produce high concentrations
and volumes of ozone by corona discharge utilizing
patented Floating Plate Technology reaction chambers.
Oxygen gas flowing through the electrical corona in
the reaction cell is converted to ozone (4-8 % conversion
is typical, depending on reaction conditions).
In ozone mass transfer, ozone gas is typically dissolved
into a stream of water through a venturi injector
and transferred to a contacting tank. Pacific Ozone's
pre-configured, integrated Enhanced Mass Transfer
system maximizes the transfer rates for each application.
Excess ozone gas that does not dissolve into the water
stream is vented from the top of the tank through
a destruct device that safely converts the excess
ozone back to oxygen (O2).
Controls are typically designed into ozone systems to monitor and optimize ozone production and demand. Systems can be designed to automatically compensate for changes in demand and operational conditions to maintain a preset level of residual ozone.
