Over the last 50 years much progress has been made in cities removing smog and particulate. Now the attention has turned to gaseous odours. EPAs around the world are now monitoring Odour Units and Ground Level Concentrations and requiring companies to fix their odour emissions.
How Ozone Works
Ozone is an extremely strong oxidant which permanently removes odours by a process of oxidation. The clean fresh smell evident after a lightning storm is ozone. Its oxidation strength is 50% greater than that of chlorine. The ozone is made electrically from oxygen. When it has done its job it reverts back to oxygen, leaving no environmental residue. In many instances the final oxidised products are carbon dioxide and water. In other cases the oxidised products are elemental. For example, in the case of Hydrogen Sulphide: H2S + O3 - S + H2O + O2. In virtually all cases the resultant products are dramatically less odorous.
Ozone kills micro-organisms by a process of protein restructuring so the result is both deodorised and sanitised.
Ozone "wrote the book" on Industrial Ozone Deodorization. You are welcome to utilise our Oztec service to help analyse your odour solution.
High technology products for the permanent removal of odorous emissions from stacks, buildings and vessels in industrial environments. Ozone is often the technically superior and most cost effective method of controlling odours when compared to biofilters, wet scrubbers, carbon adsorption or the use of chemicals.
Ozone deodorizers provide numerous advantages:
- The ozone is produced on-site, electrically, and requires no consumables. - Odour removal efficiencies are high for a wide range of organic and inorganic odours. - The technology is remarkably insensitive to process parameters such as humidity, particulates, temperature, etc. - Very low running costs - electricity only, low maintenance. - Simple to install. - No need to handle hazardous microbe biomasses, chemicals, or carbon dust. - Does not convert air pollution into water pollution. - Ozone is also an incredibly effective sanitiser - it kills microbes in the airstream.
Industrial Deodorizers IX7, IX9, IX10
A common installation method is shown, conceptually, above. Ozone is injected into a process pipe which contains the odour, and the ozone/odour then mixes in a residence shed, before the odour-free air is exhausted. However, if a suitable process vessel or space already exists then no shed is required. The Oztec Service (see later) helps you select the best configuration.
Model IX7 is suitable for medium-sized odour jobs, with up to 20 g/hour of ozone. The IX7 (and the CF2) are also available for hire to "pilot test" a larger application. Then simply scale up to the IX9 or IX10.
Industrial ozone generators require upstream oxygenators. The IX range includes this as a fully-integrated component. The oxygenators use two molecular sieves to remove nitrogen, with an automatic back flush, and PLC logic. Solenoids control the operation.
Industrial Deodorizers are supplied as a complete integrated package. Simply connect electricity and air, read the Instruction Manual, and connect the ozone gas outlet to your odorous stack, building or tank. Then simply adjust the ozone output and gas flow rate. There are no consumables and the only running cost is electricity.
Our Ozone Deodorizers are complete integrated systems - not just parts and bits which you need to source and assemble. Each Deodorizer includes as standard:
- The Ozone Generator component. - The Air Preparation component, which is an Oxygenator. - The Oxygen Accumulator. - Integrated pneumatics and electrics. - Chambers and cases which neatly enclose all components. - Touch Pad electronic controls. - Mounting or skid. - Test run at factory as a whole system for three days. - Comprehensive Instruction Manual.
The IX series is rich with great features: - Plasma ozone emitters to generate high ozone outputs (up to 4,000 g/hour of ozone) with maximum efficiency. - Integral cooling systems. All models include high flow rate, filtered, general ventilation. In addition, the IX7 emitters are air cooled, whilst IX9 and IX10 emitters are water cooled by using a heat exchanger. - Sophisticated controls. All models allow control of ozone output, by using a voltage potentiometer, or by adjusting gas flow rate, together with various switches. - Models IX9 and IX10 include a Touch Pad Control with PCB logic. This allows various running modes (with or without feedback from a Controller), timing cycles and much more. A number of sensors provide signals to the Touch Pad to monitor operating performance. If maintenance is require, a self-help "diagnostic" menu is available through the digital LCD display to provide simple "on-line" guidance. - Compact cases and skids which contain all modules and interconnections. - Long life components for unmatched reliability.
Small Deodorizers CF2
The CF2 is ideal for small sewage pump stations or sewage pits, or vent pipe deodorization in high rise buildings. A common installation method is shown in the diagram.
The CF2 is suitable for smaller jobs. Two models are available, in very compact cases, with an impressive range of industrial quality features. A truly unique product:
Patented Plasma Ozone Emitters, featuring a wafer thin silicon alloy laminate. High output and reliability.
Large inlet cartridge filter, with massive 50,000 cm2 surface, and pleated polymer media.
Integral circulation fan, high flow and high pressure.
Combination ozone and ion electrics to maximise deodorization, and also to kill airborne microbes.
Long life components (with separate plasma source and ion source), with twin electrical circuits for contingent reliability and twin control switches.
Variable output, electronic cyclical timer, indicator lights, fuses, access doors, EMI certified, and much more.
Controllers EZ3, EZ4, EZ5, EZ7
Compressor Sets
The EZ4 and EZ5 Electronic Monitors are hand-held devices which measure ozone levels in ppm. Both models include a battery charger and detailed instructions. The EZ4 measures up to 0.14 ppm with an LED display, and the EZ5 up to 20 ppm with a digital display.
The EZ3 and EZ7 Controllers act like thermostats by measuring ozone levels and sending a signal to automatically adjust the output from the Deodorizer plant. The Controllers include indicator light and adjustable set point. The EZ3 controls up to 0.14 ppm, and the EZ7 up to 20 ppm with a digital monitor display.
The IX range of Deodorizers include compressors up to the
IX9-100. Above this size, if factory air capacity is not available,
Ozone can supply compressor sets which deliver the correct
quantity of clean, dry air. The sets comprise:
Electric refrigerated dryer
Particulate & coalescer filters
Rotary vane compressor
Water separator & auto drain
Air receiver tank
DP indicators, dryer alarms
Integrated electrics
Skid mount
Oztec Service
Ozone "wrote the book" on Industrial Ozone Deodorizers. Extensive documentation includes Issue Papers for end-users and Distributor Guides for approved Distributors. Ozone Installers assist with your product selection.
End-users are asked to fill in a Fact Finder document to help size up the job. Ozone then generates a Sizing Report by reference to Oztec - a computer database which records our extensive experience and research with odour control.
