Abstract :
Ozone is one of the strongest oxidising agents known. Its germicidal action having been recognised for nearly a century and it is used in drinking water sterilisation and wastewater management and more recently for killing bacteria during food packaging and cleaning food preparation areas. With the development of such applications in these industries, the efficiency and cost of ozone production has become more and more important and industry is interested in having very efficient with high ozone yield system operating at 10kWs of power.
