Disclosed are systems and methods for mixing a gas-free liquid oxidant with a process liquid to form a homogeneous and gas-free mixture with minimized degassing. The mixing system comprises an injection device, integrating with a pipe through which a process liquid flows, configured and adapted to inject a gas-free liquid oxidant into the process liquid, and a mixer, fluidly connected to the pipe and the injection device, configured and adapted to mix the process liquid and the gas-free liquid oxidant therein to form a homogeneous and gas-free mixture of the process liquid and the gas-free liquid oxidant with minimal degassing. The method comprises the steps of a). injecting the gas-free liquid oxidant into the process liquid, and b). mixing the gas-free liquid oxidant and the process liquid to form the homogeneous and gas-free mixture. The gas-free liquid oxidant is ozone strong water.

The efficiency of water disinfection can be significantly increased by supplying the ozone in combination with oxygen to an inlet of a cavitation pump or a line atomizer. A compressor can be introduced at an inlet of the cavitation pump or the line atomizer, compressing the gas mixture at a pressure higher than the pressure within pump or the atomizer. The compressed gases are provided to the inlet of the atomizer or the pump, where the compressed gases mix with the water and enter the cavitation pump or the line atomizer (where most of the dissolution of the gases happens). The compressor allows to increase the amount of oxygen and ozone provided to the pump or the line atomizer, increasing their dissolved concentration. In addition to the disinfecting properties, the higher level of oxygen correlates to an improved taste of the water.

Provided is a UFB generating apparatus capable of manufacturing an ozone UFB-contained liquid with high purity and quality. To this end, in the UFB generating apparatus capable of generating UFBs containing ozone by causing film boiling in ozone water, a liquid contact portion to come into contact with the ozone water is made of a material with corrosion resistance to ozone water.

A system for creating an oxidation reduction potential (ORP) in water employs a manifold. The manifold includes an enclosure containing a plurality of fluid paths and having one or more ozone intake ports. The ozone intake ports are fluidically coupled to one or more ozone output ports of an ozone supply unit housed in a separate enclosure. A plurality of flow switches are disposed within the enclosure and configured to transmit control signals to one or more controllers of the ozone supply unit in response to sensing a flow of water through the fluid paths in order to cause the ozone supply unit to generate ozone. A plurality of fluid mixers are also disposed within the enclosure. The fluid mixers are fluidically coupled to the ozone intake ports and configured to introduce the ozone generated by the ozone supply unit into the water flowing through the fluid paths.

An ozone injector device comprising a housing, a corona tube disposed within the housing and configured to generate ozone, a check-valve having a first end removably coupled to the water passageway and having a valve seat and a second end configured to receive ozone, the second end having a cavity with a movable float contained therein, an ozone inlet fitting removably coupled to the second end of the check-valve, the ozone inlet being in fluid communication with the corona tube via a corona discharge tube such that ozone entering the water passageway through the ozone inlet must pass through the check valve, and a spring-loaded clearing piston positioned to move into and out of the water passageway directly opposite the ozone inlet, the clearing piston being biased upwards, towards to the ozone inlet, and configured to prevent flow of ozone into the water passageway.

A system for creating an oxidation reduction potential (ORP) in water employs a pipe assembly for in-line mixing. The pipe assembly includes a first flow path for water to flow through. The first flow path includes one or more ozone intake ports that are fluidically coupled to one or more ozone output ports of an ozone supply unit. The pipe assembly further includes a second flow path fluidically coupled in parallel with the first flow path. The second flow path includes a control valve that selectively permits a portion of the water to flow through the second flow path to produce a negative pressure in the first flow path so that ozone is drawn into the first flow path through the one or more ozone intake ports and mixed into the water flowing through the first flow path.

A system for distributing ozonated fluid includes a manifold that contains a plurality of fluid paths and has one or more ozone intake ports. The ozone intake ports are fluidically coupled to one or more ozone output ports of one or more ozone supply units.

A sanitizer system has an ultraviolet (UV) lamp, a UV transparent tube and Venturis that that draw ozonated air from near the UV lamp and mix the ozonated air with water traveling through the UV transparent tube while UV light breaks down ozone in the UV transparent tube into free radicals and other ozone decomposition products. Additional ozone can be introduced into what after it passes through the UV transparent tube.

A gas-dissolved liquid producing apparatus capable of increasing a gas dissolution efficiency and enhancing stability of the concentration of gas-dissolved liquid is provided. The gas-dissolved producing apparatus 1 includes an ozone gas supply unit 2 for supplying ozone gas, a pure water supply unit 3 for supplying pure water, and an ozonated water generator 4 for dissolving ozone gas in supplied pure water to generate ozonated water. The generator 4 includes a first nozzle 10 having a first optimum flow rate, a second nozzle 11 having a second optimum flow rate different from the first optimum flow rate, a flow rate detector 15 for detecting the flow rate of the supplied pure water, and a controller 16 for controlling which one of the first nozzle and the second nozzle should be supplied with the supplied gas, based on the flow rate of the pure water detected by the detector 15.
