Ozone Generator
What is OZONE ?
Ozone is "active oxygen", nature's special
element and a beautiful gift to mankind. Ozone is a triatomic allotrope of
oxygen formed by recombination of oxygen atoms. It is a colourless gas with
characteristic pungent odor and can easily be detected at low level of 0.05
ppm. It is a very strong oxidant and is over 3000 times more powerful
disinfectant than chlorine. It disinfects, oxidizes, deodorizes and
decolorizes.
OZONE Purification :
Ozone is the fastest acting oxidizing disinfectant and
the most efficient broad spectrum micro biological control agent
commercially available. Being highly reactive and completely
non-discriminating it immediately starts oxidizing anything it comes in
contact with. This makes Ozone a very powerful bactericide agent.
Ozone as unlike any other oxidizing agent leaves no toxic residues, thereby
environment friendly, and helps in reducing pollution.
OZONE Production :
Ozone generation entails the splitting of a diatomic
oxygen molecule into two highly excited oxygen atoms. These unstable oxygen
atoms combine with other oxygen molecules to form the triatomic state of
Oxygen, i.e. OZONE, Ozone concentration upto 3% in the air and upto 6% by
weight in the oxygen feed can be efficiently achieved. In Ozone generators,
the feed gas is passed through the ozoniser consisting of electrodes with a
dielectrics. A high voltage is applied to get a corona discharge. This
energizes the oxygen atoms, thereby converting a portion of oxygen in the
gas stream into ozone. Ozone formed is highly unstable and cannot be stored.
Advantages :
- 3,125 times more germicidal than chlorine.
- Better tasting water - increased consumption.
- Destroys all types of microorganisms instantly.
- Destroys all types of microorganisms instantly.
- Destroys organic waste by oxidation.
- Low maintenance costs.
- Environmentally friendly oxidant.
- No residual.
- Created on-site - no chemical storage.
- Ozone is the strongest oxidant and disinfectant available for the
treatment of aqueous solutions and gaseous mixtures.
- Although ozone is only partially soluble in water, it is sufficiently
soluble and stable such that its oxidation or disinfectant properties
can be fully utilized.
- After ozone oxidizes or disinfects, it decomposes into oxygen.
- Ozone reacts with a large variety of organic compounds resulting in
oxygen-containing organic by-products.
- Although ozone is the strongest oxidizing agent commercially
available, it is safe to handle. The primary reason is that it cannot be
stored and, therefore must be generated and used on-site.
- Ozone in its gaseous phase is a proven deodorizer for a variety of
odorous materials.
