New System base on high ozone concentration in water flow for hydrocarbon remediation
Italian research centre has developed an extremely effective low-cost system using ozone to treat hydrocarbon polluted water and soil. Ozone is produced through an air-propulsion reactor, it is easy to build (in special PVC) and does not require air drying nor any particular cooling system. Energy consumption is very low as well as production costs. The research centre is looking for partners interested in acquiring this system and in developing technical adaptations.
