Calculations to help you choose the correct generator for your application

General Information required for calculating the correct size of generator (Depending on your application):

  • Size of system/tank in M3
  • Amount of water being treated hourly (Whether being treated in the pipes or in storage tank (M3))
  • Temperature of water to determine the half life of Ozone
  • Amount of Biomass being treated
  • Residual ozone concentration you require

Example calculation
1) 1 cubic meter (m³) = 1 million grams (g) of water
2) 1 g ozone dissolved in 1 m³ creates an ozone concentration of 1 part per million (ppm).
3)
100 g of ozone dissolved in 100 m3 will create a concentration of 1 ppm.
4)
A residual ozone concentration required
5) 100 g  x  residual concentration= # g of ozone dissolved.
6) At a example water temperature of 30 degrees C (77 F), half of the ozone is destroyed every 12 minutes, Therefore we need to inject 5 times more ozone in order to maintain the concentration every hour. As a result, at least # grams per hour (g/h) of ozone should be dissolved to maintain the required concentration.
