Abstract
A method of operating ozone production facilities comprises supplying a starting gas from oxygen production facilities alone to an ozonizer when the consumption of oxygen is within the production capacity of the oxygen production facilities; or mixing pure oxygen gas from liquid oxygen facilities with the gas from the oxygen production facilities, and supplying the resulting mixed gas as the starting gas to the ozonizer, when the consumption of oxygen exceeds the production capacity of the oxygen production facilities. Thus, the ozone production facilities, even if small in scale, can always supply an ozone-containing gas having an arbitrary ozone concentration, ranging from the maximum to a lower concentration.
Claims9
A method of operating an ozone production facility comprising the steps of:
- supplying a starting gas from an oxygen production facility to said ozone production facility;
- mixing a pure oxygen gas from a liquid oxygen facility with said starting gas when consumption of oxygen by said ozone production facility exceeds a production capacity of said oxygen production facility;
- measuring a concentration of oxygen in the mixed starting and pure oxygen gases input to an ozonizer;
- monitoring and adjusting a flow rate of said pure oxygen gas to control the concentration of oxygen in said mixed gases;
- ozonizing said mixed gases to produce an ozone-containing gas;
- and
- analyzing an ozone concentration of said ozone containing gas by means of an ozone analyzer.
