One commercial contact chamber which is designed for ozone disinfection has been tested for the following : determination of residence time distribution (RTD), measurement of dissolved ozone concentrations in water, and measurement total plate counts. Disinfection is achieved but this type of reactor is not ideal, due to dispersion of the residence time distribution. As these bubble contactors do not behave like plug flow reactors, it is possible to improve the hydrodynamics of ozone contactors with the use of static mixers. Experiments with ozone static mixers have been conducted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
