New Ozone Test Kits that read up to 5.0 PPM

As a past customer of Ozone Solutions for water treatment products we wanted to make you aware of a recent improvement to the Dissolved Ozone Vacuvial test kit (K-7404) and Digital Dissolved Ozone Meter(I-2019), produced by CHEMetrics.  We believe that both of the updates will provide a great solution to your ozone monitoring needs.

The Dissolved Ozone Test Kit,K-7404, formerly known as the K-7402,  can now read high levels of ozone, up to 3 PPM.  This kit uses colorimetic tubes for easy ozone readings. This is a great all inclusive kit.

The Digital Dissolved Ozone Meter (I-2019) now has a range of  0.2 to 5.0 PPM.  This unit is easy to use and an accurate way to measure ozone in water.

The improved vacuvials use a safety tip to ensure no broken glass is left after the vial is broken.

Ozone Works in Hot Water

Posted by Scott Postma on January 25, 2012 under Food Industry, ozonated water, Water Remediation | Be the First to Comment

There have been a lot of question about the efficacy of ozone in warm/hot water.  Yes – ozone does work in hot water!  See the supporting documentation below.

EPA Chart showing log 4 virus inactivation with ozone vs. temperature

 

R.N. Kinman (1975) & E. Katzenelson, et al. (1974) reported “As temperature increases, ozone becomes less soluble and less stable in water; however, the disinfection and chemical oxidation rates remain relatively stable.  Studies have shown that although increasing the temperature from 0 to 30 deg C can significantly reduce the solubility of ozone and increases its decomposition rate, temperature has virtually no effect on the disinfection rate of bacteria.”

In other words, the disinfection rate was found to be relatively independent of temperature despite the reduction in solubility and reduced stability at higher temperatures.

If hot water reduces the solubility of ozone, how is Ozone Solutions addressing the lower solubility issue?

Generating high ozone gas concentrations provides better ozone mass transfer into water.  We generate these high concentrations by:

  • using an oxygen concentrator to provide a 90% pure oxygen feed gas to the corona cell thereby increasing the generated ozone concentration
  • using a high-frequency ozone generator which can generate ozone concentrations in excess of 7% by weight

The effects of ozonation on algae in drinking water treatment

Posted by Joel Leusink on November 30, 2011 under ozonated water | Read the First Comment

New research from UMass Amherst

University of Massachusetts Amherst

Abstract

Ozonation of drinking waters containing algae sometimes has a beneficial effect on the process of coagulation. It is hypothesized that the extracellular organic matter (EOM) from the algae affects the flocculation process. The effects on algal particle stability and flocculation due to ozonation and the role of EOM were investigated. Four species of algae were cultivated and EOM from the algae extracted. Scanning electron micrographs (SEMs) of the algae indicated little cell lysing for ozone doses of 3 mg/L or less. Extensive cell wall alteration was observed. Lysis of algae cells was prominent at 8 mg/L ozone. Ozonation decreased the algae volume concentrations and cell sizes. Cyclotella and Scenedesmus produced ten times as much EOM per unit cell number than Chlorella. The EOM of Cyclotella and Scenedesmus was also of higher molecular size than that of Chlorella. Increasing the ozone dose to extracted EOM and alginic acid, a model EOM compound, resulted in decreasing molecular size, colloid charge and increasing hydrophilicity and functional group charge. Bench scale jar tests and flocculation kinetic experiments were performed. Ozonation was not effective in decreasing the polymer dose required to coagulate the algae. However, ozonation improved overall removals of Scenedesmus, Cyclotella and Synura. Ozonation also increased the flocculation rate of Scenedesmus and Cyclotella, but had a detrimental effect on the rate for Chlorella. Increasing calcium (up to 30 mg/L as CaCO$\sb3$) and ozone dosage increased the flocculation rate of Scenedesmus. Natural waters spiked with Cyclotella and Synura showed an increased flocculation rate upon ozonation.

New lower price for ozone test kits

Posted by Joel Leusink on November 17, 2011 under ozonated water | Read the First Comment

Ozone Solutions sells the Chemetrics K-7402 Vacuvial kits.  These are a great coloremetric kit to verity dissolved ozone levels in water.

K-7402 Test Kit

The K-7402 test kit comes with everything necessary for 30 tests.  After 30 tests a refill kit is necessary.  This is part number R-7402.

R-7402 kit

We just lowered the price from $29.97 to $23.26.  This lowers testing cost from $1.00 per test to $0.78 per test.  If you are in need of a great reference standard for dissolved ozone, the K-7402 test kit may be the perfect tool for the job.

How a Venturi Injector works

Posted by Joel Leusink on June 15, 2011 under ozonated water, Ozone Products | Be the First to Comment

One of the many mysteries of ozone application and use is the common Mazzei Venturi Injector.  At Ozone Solutions, we field many questions and try to help customers understand and correctly apply the use of these injectors.

Venturi Injectors

 

Venturi Injectors

Venturi Injectors work by forcing water through a conical body which initiates a pressure differential between the inlet and outlet ports. This creates a vacuum inside the injector body, which initiates ozone suction through the suction port.

Example Ozone Injector / Venturi

It is important to understand the relationship of inlet and outlet pressure when using an injector.  We recommend placing pressure gauges at both the inlet and outlet of the injector to determine the performance at all times.  The performance of the injector can be shown with the included performance chart.  For more information on this, we have a page on our website describing the chart, and how to use it in your application.
