Abstract
An ozone delivery system for delivering and manufacturing a measured amount of an ozone/oxygen admixture, which is able to measure, control, report and differentiate between delivered-ozone and absorbed-dose of ozone. Improved gas-fluid contacting devices that maximize gas-fluid mass transfer may be included. All gas contacting surfaces of the system, including one or more gas-fluid contacting devices are made from ozone-inert construction materials that generally do not absorb ozone or introduce amounts of contaminants or deleterious byproducts of oxidation into a fluid or non-fluid target from ozone oxidation.
Claims31
A method for delivering a measurable absorbed-dose of ozone to a fluid, comprising the steps of:
- (a) measuring an amount, a flow rate and an ozone concentration of an ozone/oxygen admixture entering a gas-fluid contacting device;
- (b) measuring an amount, a flow rate, and an ozone concentration of an ozone/oxygen admixture exiting a gas-fluid contact device, after it interfaces with a fluid;
- (c) measuring a fluid flow rate and an amount of a fluid entering a gas-fluid contacting device;
- (d) measuring the time during which an ozone/oxygen admixture interfaces with a fluid in a gas-fluid contacting device;
- (e) transmitting measured data to a data acquisition device, including:
- a measured flow rate, ozone concentration and amount of an ozone/oxygen admixture entering a gas-fluid contact device;
- a measured flow rate, ozone concentration and amount of an ozone/oxygen admixture exiting a gas-fluid contact device;
- a measured fluid flow rate and fluid amount entering a gas-fluid contacting device;
- and, the measured time during which an ozone/oxygen admixture interfaces with a fluid;
- and
- (f) calculating an amount of ozone delivered to a gas-fluid contacting device and an amount of ozone absorbed by an amount of fluid, within a gas-fluid contact device, using measured data transmitted to a data acquisition device.
