Abstract
Ozone is generated and combined with water. The combined water and ozone are then mixed to provide a substantially homogeneous mixture which subsequently is transported along a confined flow path having a length sufficient to provide substantially complete decomposition of the ozone.
Claims26
Water purifier apparatus comprising, in combination:
- an ozone generator;
- a source of water;
- fluid combining means for receiving ozone from said ozone generator, for receiving water from said source of water and for introducing said ozone into said water;
- fluid mixer means for mixing the water and ozone received by said fluid combining means to provide a substantially homogeneous mixture of water and ozone;
- and
- fluid flow path defining means forming a confined flow path for receiving the substantially homogeneous mixture of water and ozone from said fluid mixer means, said confined flow path having a length sufficient to provide substantially complete decomposition of the ozone in the substantially homogeneous mixture of ozone and water passing therethrough, said fluid flow path defining means having an exit for water in the confined flow path after substantially complete decomposition of the ozone in the substantially homogeneous mixture of ozone and water has occurred.

A method of purifying water, said method comprising the steps of:
- generating ozone;
- introducing the ozone into water;
- after the step of introducing the ozone into water, mixing the water and ozone to provide a substantially homogeneous mixture of water and ozone;
- introducing the substantially homogeneous mixture of water and ozone into a confined flow path;
- and
- flowing the substantially homogeneous mixture of water and ozone in said confined flow path for a period of time sufficient to provide substantially complete decomposition of the ozone in the substantially homogenous mixture of ozone and water so that no offgas ozone destruction is required after the water from the substantially homogenous mixture of ozone and water exits said confined flow path.
