Introducing: Digital Auto Controls for the Hess Machine Ozone Generators

Due to the acquisition of Hess Machine by Ozone Solutions in 2010 we have the opportunity to offer updated technology in your current Hess Machine Ozone Generator.

Using the Q-45H dissolved ozone monitor, or another dissolved ozone monitor this control package will offer completely automated control of your ozone generator.

Here at Ozone Solutions we are commonly asked, How is Ozone Made?  I have created 2 previous posts covering ozone production in nature, and the basics of a corona discharge ozone generator.

In the previous post about how ozone is made we covered the basics of a corona discharge ozone generator.  In that post we pointed out that there are three main parts to a corona discharge ozone generator:  Read more...

• Power Supply
• Dielectric
• Corona Cell

Christmas is over!  It was a great weekend of praising the Lord for the birth of his Son.  We ate too much food, got too many gifts, and spent time with loved ones.  Now, it’s back to work for the daily grind.  Of course, some of you may be cleaning up the house after a weekend of family and fun.  This is where Ozone Solutions may be able to offer a hand.

Did uncle John (you know, the one that smokes) make your couch smell like an ash tray?  Did Mom burn the beans on the stove?  Did your sisters kids (the ones in diapers) bring an unwelcome stench to the bathroom?

ppm, ppb, g/m3, mg/l, and many others.  What do these all mean?  And what do they have to do with ozone?  Why do scientific papers have to be so confusing?  Let me try to help, keep reading.

ppm = Parts per Million – Is a concentration measurement.  This would indicate how many parts of the gas in question (ozone in our case) there are in every 1 million parts of total gas.  For example, if we state there is 1 ppm ozone, that means for every 1 million parts of gas, 1 of these is ozone.  The tricky thing with ppm is that we can be measuring the “parts”  by volume, or weight.  Sometimes you may see this as ppmv, indicating parts per million by volume.   This is the most common ozone measurement.  ppm is used to measure ozone in air and ozone dissolved into water.  Read more...

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.

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 has recently added a new ozone generator to our product line. The NANO Ozone Generator is manufactured by Absolute Ozone and is perfectly suited for lab applications where high concentrations of ozone are required.

The NANO Ozone Generator can produce ozone concentrations greater than 9% by weight from oxygen at flow rates of less than 1 LPM.  When lab tests are performed on a small scale it is imperative to have ozone generated at the concentrations possible.  Ozone solubility is dependent upon ozone concentration, this makes high concentrations of ozone extremely beneficial in any application.

Ozone Solutions has recently completed the validation of a Semozone 250.3 High Concentration Ozone Generator. This generator is used but in great condition. If your application is looking for a great deal on one of the largest high concentration ozone generators available give us a call today.

Animal Feed Operations (AFO) are areas where large clusters of livestock inhabit small confined areas.

Unlike traditional livestock management operations where livestock is scattered over larger areas (i.e. grazing pastures, fields, or on rangeland), AFO operations typically require food to be brought in to a small land area where the majority of animals are confined and raised.

While bringing many benefits (i.e. smaller land areas can support larger livestock operations) Animal Feed Operations (AFO) introduce some new and unique challenges that are not typically present in the traditional grazing or scattered livestock management model.  Read more...

Corona discharge ozone generators typically fall into the two categories ( based on the feed gas used to generate the ozone). While some require purified oxygen, others claim to be able to operate using an ambient air feed. What are the main differences between the two and which one is the right choice for you?

Oxygen Fed Ozone Generators:

Oxygen fed ozone generators typically require an additional component called the oxygen concentrator.  Read more...
