New research from UMass Amherst

About a week ago we posted about how ozone is made.  That original post gave the fundamentals of how ozone is produced in nature and the basics of how ozone is produced within ozone generators, both UV ozone generators and corona discharge ozone generators.  It was pointed out then that most (almost every) industrial ozone generator uses corona discharge to produce ozone.  This 2nd installment is dedicated to informing you the reader about ozone generation from corona discharge.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Ozone solutions.  we are once again thankful for all our loyal customers and the opportunity we have to serve you.

Very interesting news story about ozone came out last week.  Click HERE to read the original.

Study: Ozone From Rock Fracture Could Serve As Earthquake Early Warning

November 16, 2011 — Researchers the world over are seeking reliable ways to predict earthquakes, focusing on identifying seismic precursors that, if detected early enough, could serve as early warnings.

New research, published this week in the journal Applied Physics Letters, suggests that ozone gas emitted from fracturing rocks could serve as an indicator of impending earthquakes. Ozone is a natural gas, a byproduct of electrical discharges into the air from several sources, such as from lightning, or, according to the new research, from rocks breaking under pressure.  Read more...

Why buy new, when used will do?  Here at Ozone Solutions we maintain a full line of used ozone equipment on our Ozone Classifieds page.  Recently we received a few new items that are in great shape and common sellers.

We had a customer with 2 OZV-8S Ozone Generators and 2 V-20 Air Dryers with only a few months of use that decided to upgrade to different equipment.  These pieces are in great shape, look almost like new, and are listed well below list price.  Together these components will generate 4 g/hr of ozone from dry air.  This is a great combination to be used with an existing ozone injection system, or a new project.  These components would work great with an ozone injection system like the OSW-10.

Ozone Solutions sells the Chemetrics K-7402 Vacuvial kits.  These are a great coloremetric kit to verity dissolved ozone levels in water.

The K-7402 test kit comes with everything necessary for 30 tests.  After 30 tests a refill kit is necessary.  This is part number R-7402.

We just lowered the price from $29.97 to $23.26.  This lowers testing cost from $1.00 per test to $0.78 per test.  If you are in need of a great reference standard for dissolved ozone, the K-7402 test kit may be the perfect tool for the job.

Ozone Solutions has just today created a new Ozone Monitors website.  This is a new website dedicated to ozone monitors where we can showcase featured ozone monitors.  Check out this new website by HERE, or click the image below!

Don’t forget our existing Ozone Meters website!

Ozone is produced naturally through sparks and UV-Light, ozone is also produced commercially for many uses.  This will outline a few methods ozone is produced.

Ozone is Produced Naturally from Lightening During Thunderstorms.

Ozone is Produced Naturally from UV Light from the Sun

These same methods of ozone generations can be used commercially for industrial ozone applications.  Great advancements have been made in the ozone industry to produce ozone more reliably and efficiently.

Ozone Production from Corona Discharge

Oxygen flowing between an electrode and cathode produces ozone from a spark, more commonly referred to as Corona Discharge.
