What is Ozone?

Ozone is created in nature by lightning and can be smelled after a storm. It is one of nature's most powerfuloxidizers. Ozone is created by converting Oxygen (O2) into Ozone (O3). Oxidizers are a class of chemicals that break down organic substances. Other common oxidizers include chlorine or fluorine. Ozone works for applications in water including water treatment, swimming pools, process water and others and in air for odor control, scrubbing or pollution control.

When was Ozone first used?

Ozone was first used in 1849 AC for hospital sterilization, in the later history, more and more people realize ozone can be use effectively in killing bacteria, by different range of ppm, therefore we make more and more precise ozone capacity device for air and water purification service!

How Is Ozone Produced?

Ozone Generators are used to "manufacture" Ozone out of one of the most readily-available substances on earth - Oxygen in the air. In fact, Ozone has been called "Enhanced Oxygen" for the simple reason that Oxygen (O2) can be converted to Ozone (O3). Ozone is produced naturally in the upper atmosphere (the Ozone layer) through ultraviolet radiation. As well, lightning will produce Ozone through electrical excitation of Oxygen molecules. Ozone Generators use both forms of producing Ozone. Some generators will use electrical fields (corona discharge) to produce Ozone. Others use ultraviolet lights (UV method) to produce Ozone. Generally, the UV Ozone systems produce a lower concentration of Ozone. Since concentration of Ozone is important, most applications will use Corona Discharge Ozone generators. Since Ozone cannot be stored, it is used as quickly as it is produced. Ozone Generators are used to produce Ozone at the location where it will be used. Ozone Generators come in all sizes, ranging from small DC units used to clean air in your car (not recommended) to large industrial systems used to purify Millions of Gallons per Day of water in municipal water treatment systems. Since they require no inputs other than Oxygen, they are very cost-effective.

How Does Ozone Work?

Ozone is classified as an "oxidant" or a substance that converts organic material into their base compounds. Oxidants can be put to work as a sanitizer and disinfection agent or simply to break down organic substances. Other examples of oxidants are chlorine and fluorine. For example, Ozone can be put to use to convert air borne pollutants such as ammonia, mercaptans, sulfides and other organic chemicals into inert, non-odorous by-products. Or to oxidize pollutants and organics in water. As a powerful oxidizer, it is a very effective disinfecting agent and will kill germs, viruses, bacteria, molds and yeasts. Ozone is an extremely fast-acting oxidant. After oxidizing substances, Ozone then simply reverts to Oxygen. The target substances are broken down into their base components. Ozone production and application is a chemical process that is predictable and well understood by Chemical Engineers, chemists and, increasingly, doctors around the world
