Prozone’s patented AOP Hybrid 20,000 arc tube produces high concentration levels of Ozone and Hydroxyls through Advanced Oxidation Processing (AOP) while also producing Germicidal UV-C. The Hybrid produces the most powerful oxidizers, Ozone and Hydroxyls, to kill bacteria, virus and algae, taking advantage of the Hybrid’s inherent simplicity.
Air enters the Hybrid lamp chamber, energizing the Oxygen, converting it to Ozone (O3) and Hydroxyls (OH-). Combined with Ozone and water vapor, the molecule is then irradiated by the Hybrid Germicidal UV-C which converts some of the Ozone to Hydroxyl Radicals (OH-) through Advanced Oxidation Processing (AOP). This mixture is then injected into water for the most powerful of all of nature’s oxidizers for safe, simply brilliant, pure water.
Advanced Oxidation is a process that combines Ozone and Ultra Violet light to instantly destroy or burn up bacteria and pollutants. In water, ozone oxidizes combined chlorine and bromine, freeing them to be continuously re-used.
Ozone is generated when a molecule of oxygen is illuminated by high energy very ultraviolet light. Three atoms of oxygen are bound together instead of the normal two. The extra oxygen atom makes ozone a highly energetic oxidizer.
Ozone can also be made when a high voltage electrical arc splits regular oxygen (O2) into two oxygen atoms (O1). Unlike many traditional Corona Discharge Ozone Generators, Prozone’s generators create Ozone without the harmful Nitrogen Oxide byproducts.
Corona Discharge: Air which is dried, or air which is dried and passed through a device which concentrates oxygen from the air is run through a high voltage arc (5,000 volts and up). The electrons in the field split some of the oxygen and the individual oxygen atoms recombine with normal oxygen to produce ozone. Concentrations are typically in the one (1) to ten (10) percent range.
Ozone destroys algae, viruses, and bacteria on contact – with no harmful by-products. It also breaks down harmful chemicals and acts as a flocculent, causing total dissolved solids to be suspended and easily removed by the water filtration process. Ozone oxidizes combined chlorine and bromine, freeing them to be continuously reused.
Ozone destroys algae, viruses, and bacteria on contact with no harmful by-products. Ozone oxidizes combined chlorine and bromine, freeing them to be continuously reused. Therefore the use and cost of chemicals is reduced.
It breaks down harmful chemicals and acts as a flocculent, causing total dissolved solids to be precipitated and easily removed by the water filtration process.
Ozone is the most powerful sanitizer, non-selectively killing all microorganisms while producing no harmful byproducts.
