Disclosed are decoupled systems and methods for producing an oxidized liquid. The method comprises the steps of generating an ozone strong water in a mass transfer unit, mixing the ozone strong water with a process liquid in a mixing unit to form a homogeneous and gas-free mixture of the ozone strong water and the process liquid, forwarding the homogeneous and gas-free mixture to a reaction unit, and producing the oxidized liquid in the reaction unit. The method utilizes the acidic feed liquid to generate ozone dissolved in water having a higher concentration at a saturated or nearly saturated concentration compared to prior art processes at atmospheric pressure and neutral or alkaline pH.

A wastewater treatment device has: an ozone generator which supplies ozone; a mixer which mixes ozone supplied from the ozone generator with wastewater and supplies ozone mixed wastewater; an ozone oxidation unit which progresses ozone oxidation in the ozone mixed wastewater while passing the ozone mixed wastewater therethrough and discharges wastewater in which the ozone has been consumed; a biological treatment unit which performs biological treatment on the wastewater discharged from the ozone oxidation unit using microorganisms; and an adjusting device which adjusts the amount of ozone to be mixed with the wastewater by the mixer so that ozone in an amount that inhibits the microorganisms of the biological treatment unit does not remain in the wastewater discharged from the ozone oxidation unit.

A water treatment system (10) includes an ozone generator (3) combined with an electrolytic chlorine generator (4010) in a compact, efficient and serviceable assembly. The system (10) may include a modular and replaceable ozone generator (3), which allows a damaged or non-functional ozone generator (3) to be quickly and efficiently replaced. In order to protect the ozone generator (3) from damage, a fail-safe drain valve assembly may also be provided which will expel backflowing pool water before it is allowed to backflow into the ozone generator (3). The water treatment system (10) may further include an insulated electrolytic chlorine generator (4010) that mitigates or eliminates leakage current for efficient operation.

A gas solution supply device 1 includes: a first gas-liquid separator 8 in which gas solution is stored; a second gas-liquid separator 16 provided at a stage subsequent to the first gas-liquid separator 8 and in which gas solution to be supplied to a use point is stored; an intermediate line 17 provided between the first gas-liquid separator 8 and the second gas-liquid separator 16; a pressure booster pump 18 provided on the intermediate line 17 and increases a pressure of gas solution being supplied from the first gas-liquid separator 8 to the second gas-liquid separator 16; a gas supply line 2 that supplies gas as a material of the gas solution; and a gas dissolving unit 20 provided on the intermediate line 17 and dissolves the gas supplied from the gas supply line 2 in the gas solution supplied from the first gas-liquid separator 8.

In a wastewater treatment process or other water treatment process, wherein ceramic membranes are employed to filter liquid not being treated in a biological process, ozone gas is injected and dissolved into the membrane influent for the purpose of preventing fouling of the membranes, while also enhancing pathogen removal. Ozone concentration as injected is at a concentration greater than 2 mg/l, preferably at least about 5 mg/l.

An ozone water supply apparatus and an ozone supply device are provided. The ozone generation device includes a Venturi tube and an ozone generation module connected to the Venturi tube. The ozone generation module includes a circuit unit, an ozone-activated tube, and a launcher, the latter two of which are electrically coupled to the circuit unit. The launcher includes a transparent tube, a floating body arranged in the transparent tube, and an optical detector arranged outside of the transparent tube and electrically coupled to the circuit unit. When a gas flows through the transparent tube so as to move the floating body along the transparent tube, the optical detector is configured to detect the movement of the floating body, so that the ozone-activated tube can be driven by the circuit unit to excite the gas to become an ozone that floats toward the Venturi tube.

Disclosed are a water treatment apparatus and a process for treating process water with ozone and ultraviolet radiation. The apparatus comprises a reactor (4) having a first (5) and a second (6) reaction chamber. The first reaction chamber (5) has a UV lamp (1), an air inlet (30) and a gas outlet (23). An air/ozone conduit (34) is connected to the gas outlet (23), via which an air/ozone mixture (b) can be fed into a water inlet conduit (31). The second reaction chamber (6) is connected to the water inlet conduit (31) and a water outlet conduit (32). The inlet conduit (31) may contain a water filter (18) as well as a controllable circulation pump (16) designed to pump water in the reactor direction. The water filter (18) may be arranged between the circulation pump (16) and the reactor (4). A recirculation conduit (33) comprises a pump (10) pumping water towards the inlet conduit (31). It has a feed point (21) at which the air/ozone mixture (b) is feedable into the process water (d) or is in fluid communication with a fresh water conduit (35) via a fresh water feed point (9), which has a feed point (21) at which the air/ozone mixture (b) is feedable into fresh water (f) in the fresh water conduit (35).

Disclosed are a method, a device, and/or system of effective and/or safe ozonation of water in a tank through evolved gas control. In one embodiment, a system for effective ozonation of water includes an ozone generator for producing ozone partially in the form of ozone gas, and a disperser. The disperser is configured to receive ozone gas from the ozone generator rising through the water as ozone bubbles disperse the ozone bubbles within the water. The disperser increases a contact time of the ozone and/or distributes dissolution of the ozone in the water. The disperser may include one or more bubble paths guiding the ozone bubbles. The ozone generator may be an electrolytic ozone unit. An electrode may include a proton exchange membrane electrically coupling an anode and a cathode of an electrode, where hydrogen gas generated at the cathode may be vented and/or conveyed to a catalytic decomposition unit.
