The Ozmotics Insider

Properly sizing an ozonation skid is a very important task when planning to use ozone for a particular application. Not adding enough ozone can undermine the effectiveness of the process while adding too much ozone can add unnecessary costs in terms of additional equipment needed to destroy ozone not consumed by the process.

Ozone Production Capacity Considerations:

Generally speaking there are four factors that determine how much ozone is required for a particular application:

Application: Different applications will require different concentrations of ozone. Even the same application will sometimes require a different concentration of ozone (i.e. wastewater treatment applications vary in their requirement for ozone depending on biological and chemical make-up of the effluent).  Read more...

Clean in place (CIP) is a method for cleaning the interior of pipes and other inacessible spaces where regular cleaning methods fail to produce adequate results. The main benefit of the CIP process is that it requires no disassembly of the infrastructure while still being able to provide the sanitation level as required by the applicable standards and regulations.

Benefits of Ozonation in Industrial Cleaning Applications

The typical Clean in Place process consists of injecting water, heat and a combination of chemicals to clean the inacessable surface areas such as pipes, valves, pumps, etc., all of which are difficult to clean with conventional methods.  Read more...

BTEX is a common acronym used to describe benzene, toluene ethyl benzene, and xylenes. BTEX compounds are some of the most commonly VOC (volatile organic compounds) found in petroleum derivatives such as gasoline and are often found as a persistent contaminants in the areas prone to gasoline and gasoline derivative spills (old gas stations, gasoline storage yards, refineries, etc.).

The inherent danger of BTEX is that toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylenes are very toxic substances with the documented history of harmful effects on the central nervous system. Because of the solubility of the majority of the BTEX components they are also prone to leaching into the underground waterways therefore polluting much wider area than the original contamination site. As such the decontamination of soils and ground water contaminated with the BTEX traces is strongly recommended.  Read more...
