Ozone Calculations and Conversions

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
