A downstream static mixer can then be used to thoroughly mix the ozone gas into the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oxidationtech.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/O3_solubility\/Static_Mixer_for_Ozone.png\" alt=\"Static mixer for ozone in action\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Water should be pressurized when using a static mixer to aid solubility of ozone gas into water. Therefore, the ozone gas must be under pressure to force into the water flows. We have found that water pressure around 30 PSI is ideal for mass transfer, however higher or lower pressures can also be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Komax Static Mixer Demonstration\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f0GUERv3Cn4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&#8211; Simple, effective system design with no moving parts<\/li><li>&#8211; Great option for pressurized water<\/li><li>&#8211; More energy efficient than a venturi as a pressure differential across the mixer is not requied<\/li><li>&#8211; Easier to contain ozone gas and maintain a safe environment due to ozone off-gassing<\/li><li>&#8211; Can work with water that may plug or obstruct a venturi injector<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Disadvantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&#8211; Higher risk of water back-flow into ozone generator due to pressurized water<\/li><li>&#8211; Requires flowing, pressurized water<\/li><li>&#8211; Greater risk of water backing up into the ozone generator as the water is pressurized<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ozone gas is partially soluble into liquid.
