Compressed ozone gas

We now carry a line of ozone gas compressors to provide compressed ozone gas for unique applications. Ozone gas pressures of 75 PSI are standard with these compressors, with higher pressures possible in some applications. Should you have an application where high-pressure ozone is required please contact us, we would be happy to help find the proper solutions.

These compressors can both pull a vacuum and create pressures up to 75 PSI. Higher pressures possible with proper applications. Ozone generators commonly produce ozone pressures ranging from 0 – 20 PSI output pressures. The OC-Series ozone compressors will allow you to boost ozone pressures for a variety of applications.

Common ozone applications

• Pull ozone gas from an ozone generator + air dryer that produce ozone from a vacuum
• Boost low ozone pressures for lab or small-scale testing applications – filling a vessel or tank is common
• Push ozone gas into a pressurized water line where a venturi is not an option – home wter systems are common
• Push ozone gas into a force-main from a lift station into wastewater for odor and corrosion control

Vacuum Driven air-fed ozone generator:

A common use for an ozone compressor is pulling ozone gas from an ozone generator under vacuum. Ozone can be produced from dry air efficiently with a vacuum-driven air dryer. Ozone gas can then be pushed to the point of use with the ozone compressor. This equipment has the potential of lowering capital cost vs an ozone system capable of higher pressures and is very flexible.

Ozone used for wastewater force-main

Ozone gas can be used in force-mains within a wastewater system to lower odors, reduce chemical use and lower corrosion from H2S. Force-mains commonly operate at very high pressures, above 50 PSI. This will require the use of a boost compressor to increase the ozone pressures to a pressure above the force-main.

Considerations when choosing an ozone compressor:

• The ozone compressor creates heat, head destroys ozone, therefore the process will decrease the ozone concentration slightly. A higher ozone production rate up-front may be needed to compensate for the ozone losses in the ozone compressor.
• If the ozone compressor is pulling a vacuum and creating pressure both forces must be taken into account when choosing the proper compressor for your flow.
• The OC-Series ozone compressor are available with aluminum and stainless steel heads. Aluminum should only be used with oxygen fed ozone generators as the aluminum will be corroded with air fed ozone generators. However, aluminum does disapate heat less and will conserve ozone better throughh the pressurization process.
• When the compressor is used to boost pressure, for example 10 PSI at the ozone generator inlet/compressor outlet and 50 PSI at the compressor outlet, this must be taken into account when reviewing the appropriate performance chart.
• The OC-Series compressors will re-start undre pressures, however this is limited, contact us with questions.
