The Best of 2011

The Ozone Journal had a great 2011.  We continue to get more traffic and more readers.  As we near the end of the year we spend time looking back at the year.  Our most popular post was our April Fools post.  Yes, sorry to burst the bubble of you youth seeking beer drinkers, this was a hoax…

Study Finds Consuming Ozonated Beer Reverses Aging Process

Researchers nearing the conclusion of a five-year study on human aging announced Friday that they may have found a cure. In fact, a scientist involved with the study, who spoke on condition of anonymity, claims that early results seem to show that consuming certain brands of beer treated with ozone may actually reverse the aging process altogether.

What is Ozone?

Ozone is a very active form of oxygen. It is formed when the oxygen ( O2 ) molecules are broken down to oxygen atoms ( O). Oxygen atoms ( O ) in turn react with other oxygen molecules ( O2 ) to form ozone molecules (O3).

The simplified formula for the process is:

O2 + energy = 2 O1

2 O1 + 2 O2 + energy = 2 O3

Is ozone found in nature?

Typical Layout of an Ozone Injection System

Many configurations had been developed and tried and there may be further variations in the design of a turn-key ozone injection skid but in general the principle is fairly similar. Here we will attempt to outline the major components of the system.

Example of an "air compressor"

Using the corona discharge ozone generator and the oxygen concentrator (oxygen fed  ozone generator), the ozone injection skid typically follows the line process by which the ambient air is first circulated through the air dryer (the ambient air must be sufficiently dry and free of moisture in order to be used as a feed for the oxygen concentrator).
