Personal advanced oxidation water treatment system

A backpack worn, portable water purification system designed so that a single user can purify a quantity of water by putting into a tank, charging it with ozone gas and re-circulating it through a reaction chamber until potable, the system comprising:

• a backpack sized to be worn by a user;
• the water tank, a pump, a venturi and the reaction vessel all contained in the backpack, the water tank fluidly connected through the venturi to the reaction vessel;
• the reaction vessel fluidly connected back to the tank;
• an ozone generator also contained in the backpack producing ozone gas, the ozone generator being gas-connected to the venturi so that ozone gas transfers into the water though the venturi;
• the reaction vessel containing a reacting surface coated with a catalyst;
• the pump continuously recirculating water from the water tank into the reaction vessel and back to the water tank.
