OZONE CALCULATIONS
Below are helpful calculations to determine ozone dosage rates, ozone production and other data. This is helpful information all in one place to determine system sizing and design for your ozone project.

OZONE DOSAGE RATES INTO WATER FLOWS
(GPM x 3.78 x 60 x ppm) / 1,000 = g/hr ozone
Example = (10 GPM x 3.78 x 60 x 2.0 ppm) / 1,000 = 4.536 g/hr ozone dosage
OZONE GENERATOR OUTPUT
((LPM x 60) x 0.001) x g/m3 = g/hr
Example = ((10 LPM x 60) x 0.001) x 10 g/m3 = 6 g/hr ozone production
OZONE CONCENTRATION IN AIR BY VOLUME
1 mg/l = 1 g/m3 = 1 ug/ml = 467 ppm O3
1 ppm = 2.14 mg/m3 O3
100 pphm (parts per hundred million = 1 ppm (parts per million)
OZONE CONCENTRATION IN AIR BY WEIGHT
100 g/m3 = 7.8% O3
1% = 12.8 g/m3 O3
1% = 7,284 ppm O3
OZONE CONCENTRATION IN OXYGEN BY VOLUME
100 g/m3 = 6.99% O3
1% = 14.3 g/m3 O3
1% = 6,520 ppm O3
OZONE CONCENTRATION IN WATER
1 mg/l = 1 ppm = 1 g/m3 O3 (by weight)
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF OZONE
Density of ozone = 2.14 kg/m3
Molecular weight of ozone = 48
Density of oxygen = 1.43 kg/m3
Molecular weight of oxygen = 32
Density of air = 1.29 kg/m3
Density of water = 1,000 kg/m3
