| At the time of the organic origin of our planet, ozone played an important
role in nature's life cycle. In his remarkable experiments in 1953, Standley
L. Miller demonstrated how amino acids are formed from methane and ammonia
when subjected to an electrical discharge. Amino acids are the building blocks of all living cells and tissues. Simultaneously, during this process, electrical discharges also produce ozone. |

| Ozone continues to play an important
role in nature's life cycle today. It
is formed in the upper atmosphere through
high energy radiation of sunlight, breaking
up the oxygen molecules. Organic and
inorganic impurities which penetrate
our atmosphere are destroyed by ozone
during this chemical reactions. As a
special form of oxygen, ozone contains
three oxygen atoms. It has the highest
thermodynamic oxidation potential of
all oxidants widely used in water treatement,
which results in a variety of effective
applications. |
|
| |
| Even though the ozone molecule is
small, it contains a very high energy
potential. It is powerful, eager to
react, fast reacting, and generates
results as soon as it combines with
a compatible reaction component. Under
certain conditions OH-radicals, as a
by-product of ozonation, are forming
the most reactive and intermediate products
known to science. |
|
|
| One of the most important characteristics
of ozone is its beneficial impact on
the environment. In all applications
to date, there have been no damaging
effects to systems or the environment,
nor have any toxic by-products been
formed. To the contrary, during ozonation
with organics, oxygen and its components
are being formed, which are biodegradable.
Ozonation achieves a high degree of
economic efficiency, since it is produced
on site, and only in the amount needed;
therefore, hazardous transporation and
storage are not required. Hence, ozone
technology has proven itself to be the
preferred technological method of water
treatment for the future of our environment. |
