[Vo]:Re: Call for new Ozone process

[Michel Jullian]

Jones answered, with ample supporting arguments and evidence, my question about 
efficiency of UV tube based methods: not efficient at all, as I had suspected.

Going back to gas discharge (DBD, the classical process), it occurred to me 
that the best way to do it "in situ" was to use the water itself as a discharge 
surface, a quick Googling showed this has indeed been done with what seems to 
be good results, see http://www.center.bg.ac.yu/plasma/plasmapic/DBD.pdf , 
how's that Richard?

For pure kill power, ozone has the right stuff, no residual and good 
reduction properties. Bleach must be destructed after doing it's job.The 
task is getting ozone in the right place immediately on generation. Like 
Chlorine gas.. the first 3 seconds holds the kill power. We are looking at 
"shapes" of the UV lamp for a method of "surrounding" the target area in 
creating the initial gas phase.
Everybody in Germany moved to Texas in the 1820's and are still here and 
speak German like a native. I live in Walhalla.. that's betrween Nechanitz 
and Rutersville. nearby is Waldeck and Weimar.. across to road from New Ulm 
and Dubina , which is down the road from Praha ( oops a Czech slipped in)
Not to worry, Shiner Texas has the beer plant...The first German settlement 
in Texas was Industry Texas.near Blieberville and Cat Spring.. Dime Box was 
a late bloomer town.

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.
