OPL Systems Cleaning and disinfection systems and energy storage with ozone: Innovative disruptive technology..
Water Cleaning & disinfecting with a Laser !
CLEAN FIRST.... then disinfect with the FOX Laser
Water and air also contain harmful substances that can no longer be removed biologically and are responsible as FOOD for the growth of unwanted microflora such as Legionella. Many of those (harmful) substances contain C=C groups that are present in many - harmful - chemical compounds (Pi compound) VUV radiation (172 nm) and UV-C radiation (254 nm) = light and ozone DESTROY SELECTIVELY that C =C bridge / connection. Because there are many electrons close together in that place. Toxic componets are converted in smaller much better and faster easily digestible HARMLESS biodegradable chemicals are created. No Food = no or less Microflora.
What is de FOX Laser?
The FOX is a gas discharge lamp something like a "FLUORESCENT lamp" = gas discharge lamp Willie the inventor calls it an EXCIMER LASER filled with... XENON GAS ! instead of harmful MERCURY. This laser only produces powerful energy in light with a wavelength of 172 nM. PROPERTY of that radiation! The shorter the wavelength, the more radiant energy is released 40% or even more of the power of this 35 watt lamp is converted into light 172 nm with which harmful compounds are photochemically cracked. And / Or oxygen is converted into ozone direct in water.. The rest is heat. This technology is the LAST opportunity to CRACK very harmful NON biodegradable compounds.and then biologically convert those other compounds into bite-sized chunks. But you can do even more with the FOX
Can the FOX do more?Yes! SUPER DISINFECTION ! .
When dry oxygen gas flows along the VUV = Vacuum UV source, ozone is made much more efficiently and in higher strength / concentrations. The FOX laser makes about 0.5 gr of industrial quality ozone per 1 hour, i.e. with 20 gr Ozone per 1 M3 oxygen gas. YESSS says Willie the inventor you can really do something with that. If you use dry air (21% oxygen) then the ozone strength is < 3 grams ozone in 1 M3 gas. That is done with very dry air with very little water (dew point -60 degrees Celsius). With much LESS than 0.1 grams of Ozone SIMPLY dissolved in 1 M3 water, all microflora / Bioterrorists have no chance. So also COVID-19 viruses in air water or hard surfaces!
Mix and stir with Ozone and more ...
If this OZONE GAS MIXTURE OF OXYGEN AND OZONE OR... very dry Air = 21% Oxygen with ozone and rest 79% nitrogen brings into contact with dirty air or water or hard surfaces one cleans and DISINFECTS the harmful compounds. Insitu
This is not all... ..
The FOX laser can easily make ozone at any gas pressure. That's very smart engineered.
In conventional ozone production based on DBD corona, this ozone production optimum is 0.7 bar that is 7 meters water column. O3 systems also supplies CONCENTRATED DBD Ozone systems that can only deliver up to 40-70 CENTIMETER WATER COLUMN PRESSURE.
With CONCENTRATED ozone conversion’s of reaction product and at higher pressure improves and simplifies mixing and stirring and conversion dynamics = Higher reaction speed = more conversion per time unit (reaction/sec). in a compact reactor / system
Finally, you can use ozone TOGETHER to make another much more environmentally friendly and CIRCULAR cleaning and disinfectant nl ACTIVE BROMINE! Chemical name is (HOBR) Trade Name HYSOP which is MUCH safer than active chlorine (HOCL) which currently still has 999.999% of people swimming in it.
Another advantage FOX with Hysop™®!!
If you dissolve a little dead sea salt = HYSOP in the (swimming) pool, ozone activates just like chlorine! Dus with HOBR bromine salt in active bromine. So you have BETWEEN the swimmers a safer disinfectant, and DEPOT effect that meets the official 5 5 5 suspension tests . That is a log 5 reduction = 100,000 colony forming units in 5 min of the 5 types of microflora as fungi, yeasts, bacteria viruses spores . Active chlorine still works up to an acidity of up to 7.8, which is the acidity of tap water as it comes from the tap. To reach a value of 7.0 pH, you need to add about 50 cc of sulphuric acid (battery acid) with a strength of 37 % by know. Active bromine does NOT need acid and works faster and better at acidity Ph > 7.8 Active bromine that reacts with N nitrogen and C compounds (Halogenation reactions) can be more EASILY mineralized the free bromine and is again available again as a safety disinfection between swimmers. There is a CIRCULAR SYSTEM for SAFER (swimming) water.
The preparation of the gas for Ozone app’s
Ozone can be produced from dry compressed air. Or via a vacuum system. It is also possible to use an installation that concentrates the oxygen from the air to 90 - 95% via a PSA Unit pressure swing Adaptor.
One can also use oxygen cylinders. When ozone from the air is used as a feed gas, it is important that the moisture present in the air is removed. The amount of water in this compressed air should not exceed the amount corresponding to a dew point of -60°. Celsius
The following steps are necessary when procuring ozone from conditioned air:
· Gas compressor or vacuum system
· Air dryer and cooling device
· Filtration step to remove dust and oil.
When using concentrated oxygen from bottles, these steps are not necessary.
Because ozone is a chemically unstable gas and falls back to oxygen, it is necessary to apply this in the process immediately after production.
Electrical discharge as described above is today the most efficient method of producing ozone. Ozone is produced from oxygen-containing gas that is passed along a capacitor (Positively charged and negative plate or pipe system).
The energy of the corona discharge splits the oxygen. The gas flow produced through this process from dry air must yield at least 1 - 3% by weight of ozone. When using pure oxygen, the strength that leaves the ozone generator is 3 - >10%.
The Ozone Dissolving Reactor
The concentration of ozone that leaves the ozone generator is very important for the economic’s and management of the system and the required effect. The gas can be dissolved under sufficient pressure in glas or in stainless steel vessels where the ozone gas is dissolved under a certain pressure in a certain volume. Obeying Henry’s Law ! In this way, one is able to press more than 95% of the generated or produced ozone into the aqueous phase.
Ozone Gas Destruction
The part of ozone that physically cannot be dissolved in the water is treated to remove the odor.
When using technical oxygen, it can also be attractive to reuse the oxygen in large installations.
To destroy the ozone, a catalyst is used. The gas can also be heated to 240 °C for a short time The excess ozone will then fall back to oxygen in millisecones.to Oxygen
The effectiveness of ozone as a disinfectant.
Ozone is an extremely reactive and SELECTIVE oxidation (cleaning) and disinfectant. Any scientist will recognize that ozone's ability to destroy microflora is by far the most economical in consumption compared to other disinfectants and systems.
Every time one compares the amount of ozone needed per unit of time to destroy microflora with other disinfectants, it turns out that ozone is the winner.
Especially when it becomes very difficult to disinfect viruses, for example, it is generally known that ozone is the most efficient to apply. Ozone is the alternative when chlorine disinfection or other disinfectants or systems are still used.
Many of these traditional disinfection systems also have the nasty property that they often produce very harmful by-products of disinfection in addition to disinfection.
This is not the case when ozone is used correctly as a cleaning and disinfectant
Ozone Example in Water treatment.
Project Mars in Veghel (1992) Heat from the factory is discharged by evaporation of water Chlorine for disinfection has been replaced by Ozone, pipe water by free Channelwater. That delivers the biggest savings. Corrosion is reduced no biofilm
