[Vo]:Re: Call for new Ozone process

[Michel Jullian]

Producing ozone using UV, why not, that's indeed what the sun does in the upper 
atmosphere and what makes the sky blue, how does it compare with the DBD method 
in terms of efficiency and cost?

Is ozone a requirement, if not maybe you could produce bleach on the spot.

P.S. If I talked like a Texan I wouldn't understand a word of what I say ;-) 
Germany wouldn't think much of me, haven't been there a lot, nice green place 
and lots of beer though.

Several things Michel.
The demand is increasing, ozone gas is expensive, ozone doesn't store like 
chlorine so it's made on the job, it's not a universal like liquid bleach. 
The process is tricky  so locating a ozone generator in a wastewater plant 
using unskilled labor can take years off your life.
Richard's solution ??  ask the Vorts, of course.
The collection of wisdom in VortexL exceeds even the accumulated brainpower 
of the Dime Box saloon's scientific advisory panel which includes several ex 
politicians and busted bankers.
The suggestion for using a parabolic reflector for directing the UV lamp 
output was an example of how this group operates.. good idea. This has led 
to thinking of "why" not consider a UV lamp does not have to be shaped like 
a tube. hmm
 Our task in this grand scheme is to build a mixer that will mix ozone. We 
decided the solution was to take a bubble of ozone, place it on a sledge 
hammer and hit it with another sledge hammer.. shazzaam! instant dissolved 
ozone. Translated... slice water under presssure at above 125 f/s velocity 
and the collapse behind will sledgehammer the bubble.. "velocity shear".
Howdy to you too! Michal. darn if we don't have you talking like a Texan.. 
what will Germany and France think of you ?
