Ozone Generation

Ozone is an extremely effective oxidant that can be used for oxidation, disinfection and colour removal. It is applied in water & wastewater, swimming pools, chemical processing, semi conductor surface treatment, pulp bleaching, and in food products. When applied correctly, ozone has a very quick and efficient effect on almost all known bacteria, viruses and microorganisms. It is also very environmentally friendly. 

Ozone is generated on site by injecting oxygen into a reactor and applying AC voltage across the reactor's electrodes and dielectrics, creating ozone (O3). A liquid oxygen station (LOX) is commonly used to provide reliable oxygen production. While ozone is a safe and environmentally friendly solution, there also must be consideration given to off-gassing into the atmosphere and occupational exposure limitations.

Metcon Product Recommendation
For safe, reliable, and accurate handling and metering of ozone, Metcon recommends a complete, packaged ozone generation and injection system. A typical system includes:

1. Generator

• The generator should be sized to meet the demands required by the application. This is based on flow rates and chemical demand.
• <50PPD Generator
• >50PPD Generator

2. Liquid Oxygen System

• The LOX system should be designed to provide reliable oxygen production. It should include a particulate filter, air dryer, and all appurtenances required.

3.  Ozone Destruction System

• When ozone demand has been met, any off-gassing should be captured in an ozone destruct system

4. Ambient air monitor

5. Ozone Residual Analyzer
