What is a Flash Reactor?
The Flash Reactor manufactured by Mazzei Injector Company is yet another great tool to dissolving ozone gas into water. This product has been in production for a few years now. I wanted to take the time explain a little about where these might be used in an ozone injection system.
Typically a Flash Reactor would be used in conjunction with an Ozone Injector. The Flash Reactor can be placed in line after the ozone injector to aid in mass transfer of ozone into the water. Following is the description of the Flash Reactor from the Mazzei website.
The patented Mazzei® Flash Reactor™ is a uniquely innovative mixing chamber that incorporates a re-directional and shearing design of the gas/liquid water mixture that allows for a rapid dissolution and attainment of gas/liquid equilibrium. The result is high mass transfer efficiency with minimal time required.
Research done on the flash reactor and ozone injector was performed by the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, 3-093 Markin/CNRL Natural Resources Engineering Facility, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. This research abstract can be viewed HERE at the Mazzei Website.
A great use of the flash reactor is when ozone injected into water with an ozone injector at low pressures and improved mass transfer of ozone is desired. Many systems can benefit from the addition of a Flash Reactor into the system to improve mass transfer of ozone without any other modifications of the system.
