Mazzei  released this great informative video on the use of Mazzei products to dissolve ozone into water for the Wichita aquifer storage and recovery project.  This video shows the expertise that Mazzei has on large scale projects like this:
Mazzei Degas Separator was selected for the Wichita Aquifer Storage and Recovery Project. Mazzei’s GDT™ Degas Separator was chosen as the best method for entrained gas bubbles removal.

The expertise that Mazzei has on ozone mass transfer is also utilized on smaller applications with the commonly used ozone injectors and flash reactors.

Study Finds Consuming Ozonated Beer Reverses Aging Process

Researchers nearing the conclusion of a five-year study on human aging announced Friday that they may have found a cure. In fact, a scientist involved with the study, who spoke on condition of anonymity, claims that early results seem to show that consuming certain brands of beer treated with ozone may actually reverse the aging process altogether.

How to Measure Output of your Ozone Generator

We are commonly asked how to measure output or verify that an Ozone Generator produces the amount of ozone the manufacture claims. This tech sheet will cover how to measure the output of your high concentration Ozone Generator.

Researchers Find New Use for Ozone

Scientists at the North Carolina State University Seafood Laboratory have found a new use for
ozone — enhancing the freshness of seafood.
In a study supported by the North Carolina Fishery Resource Grant Program (FRG), scientists 
found that ozone reduces the population of common spoilage bacteria in seafood processing 
facilities. FRG is funded by the North Carolina General Assembly and administered by North 
Carolina Sea Grant. The researchers worked with Peter Mairs of Hanover Sea Products in 
Wilmington.
“We found that treating raw fish as well as processing equipment with ozone greatly reduced the
number of bacteria that can potentially spoil seafood,” says Barry Nash, North Carolina Sea Grant
seafood technology and marketing specialist.
Researchers demonstrated the potential effectiveness of ozone as a broad-use, sanitizing agent
in a seafood production facility, says Nash. “This is important because bacteria are everywhere in
the environment,” he adds. “However, the use of ozone could greatly reduce the number of
spoilage bacteria in a seafood plant and help maintain the low levels of spoilage bacteria over
time in air, water and on processing equipment.”

New way found to fend off hospital infections

Read full article HERE

Researchers in Canada say their new disinfection system may change the way hospital rooms, and perhaps hotel rooms, worldwide are cleaned.

Dr. Dick Zoutman, chief of staff at Quinte Health Care, and Dr. Michael Shannon of Medizone International at laboratories in Innovation Park, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, said the new disinfection technology also killed bed bugs.

The new technology involves pumping a mixture of Medizone-specific ozone and hydrogen peroxide gas into a room to sterilize everything — including floors, walls, drapes, mattresses, chairs and other surfaces. It is far more effective in killing bacteria than wiping down a room, Zoutman said.

The cleanest sewage water in Arizona

Read entire Article on the NWRA website HERE

The city of Cottonwood could be drinking its reclaimed wastewater in 15 or 20 years, said Dan Lueder, the city’s head of development.

Actually, he nearly crowed this point.

“It looks like this is going to be the future of water re-use in Arizona,” Lueder said.

Cottonwood got into the drinking-water-production business in 2005, and it just happened to be sitting on a tax for big public projects that had accrued over about 20 years.

So Cottonwood plans to build an $8 million, solar-powered plant capable of breaking apart many trace synthetic compounds by blasting them with ozone and hydrogen peroxide.

The facility will likely have higher energy needs, but they’ll be met mostly or entirely by the sun.

But in Cottonwood, the water will next be sent into a winding system where it gets blasted with hydrogen peroxide and ozone, something called “advanced oxidation” treatment.

Ken Knickerbocker is engineering that part, and it will be capable of reducing chains of organic compounds.

“It will attack them and essentially break them down,” he said, without the chemical byproducts that now result from some disinfectants, like chlorine.

ppm, ppb, g/m3, mg/l, and many others.  What do these all mean?  And what do they have to do with ozone?  Why do scientific papers have to be so confusing?  Let me try to help, keep reading.

ppm = Parts per Million – Is a concentration measurement.  This would indicate how many parts of the gas in question (ozone in our case) there are in every 1 million parts of total gas.  For example, if we state there is 1 ppm ozone, that means for every 1 million parts of gas, 1 of these is ozone.  The tricky thing with ppm is that we can be measuring the “parts”  by volume, or weight.  Sometimes you may see this as ppmv, indicating parts per million by volume.   This is the most common ozone measurement.  ppm is used to measure ozone in air and ozone dissolved into water.

ppb = Parts per Billion – This is to indicate the same thing as ppm, only change the million to a billion.  This moves a decimal point 3 places.  for example 0.1 ppm = 100 ppb.

mg/l – Milligrams of ozone per Liter – Is a concentration measurement.  This indicates how many milligrams of ozone there are in one liter of total volume.  mg/l can be used to indicate the concentration of ozone in gas or liquid.

1 mg/l of ozone = 1 ppm of ozone in water.  Due to the density of air this is no longer true and 1 ppm of ozone = 2140 mg/l.  This is a common term used to measure the amount of ozone dissolved into water.

ug/ml – Microgram per millileter - Is a concentration measurement.  This indicates how manymicrograms of ozone there are in one milliliter of total volume.  mg/l can be used to indicate the concentration of ozone in gas or liquid.

1 ug/ml = 1 mg/l – these terms are equal, no conversion is necessary

g/m3  = Grams of ozone per Cubic Meter – Is a concentration measurement.  This indicates how many grams of ozone there are in one cubic meter of total volume.  This can indicate volume of a gas or liquid.  g/m3 is most commonly used to measure the concentration of ozone in a gas stream.

1 g/m3 = 1 mg/l = 1 ppm of ozone in water

1 g/m3 = 467 ppm of ozone in air

% by weight (Percent by weight) – is a concentration measurement.  This indicates the percentage (%) of ozone within a given gas stream.  This is a very common method to illustrate the concentration of ozone from an ozone generator.  This is more complicated than g/m3 as the weight of gas changes if it is air, or oxygen gas that the ozone gas is mixed with.

1% Ozone = 12.8 g/m3 Ozone in air

1% Ozone = 14.3 g/m3 Ozone in oxygen

g/hr (gm/hr) – grams of ozone per hour – Is a measurement of ozone production.  This is the most common method of measuring the output of an ozone generator.  We can measure the concentration of ozone in g/m3, then when we calculate for flow rate with a measurement like LPM (liters per minute) we can determine how many grams of ozone are produced in one hour of time.

mg/hr – milligrams of ozone per hour – This indicates the same thing as g/hr only on a smaller scale.  Smaller ozone generators may be rated in mg/hr.

1 g/hr of ozone = 1,000 mg/hr of ozone production.

lb/day – Pounds per Day – Is a measurement of ozone production.  This is a common measurement of ozone production of much larger ozone generators.  This is a common term to use for large ozone generators, and is commonly used in some industries within the ozone world.

1 lb/day of ozone = 18.89 g/hr ozone production.

Ozone production can also be displayed in kg/hr, kg/day, or many other measurement, these can all be simply converted for easier understanding for all parties.

There may be other units of measure used, however these are the most common.  Other units of measure can be converted to more common units of measure as needed.

If the work of calculating the output of an ozone generator, or the dosage rate of ozone into water is too much for you, please, use our online calculator to help you out.
