Pipeline Flash Reactors™ (PFRs or spool pieces) utilize high velocity mixing to transfer ozone or oxygen-enriched sidestreams into bulk water flow, all within a compact footprint. With a PFR, ozone or oxygen mass transfer occurs in the pipeline within seconds, eliminating the need for additional tanks or basins. Whether it is providing ozone for water purification or increased dissolved oxygen for wastewater, Mazzei’s PFR uniformly distributes gas into the water and minimizes the size and cost of gas contacting.
In the GDT™ Contacting Process, ozone gas is created from air or pure oxygen with an ozone generator. Ozone gas is then aspirated via the high efficiency Mazzei® Venturi Injectors providing dynamic mixing and mass transfer. The Back Pressure Control Valve adjusts injector outlet pressure to optimize ozone mass transfer. Dissolution is enhanced in a Flash Reactor™, which is sized for each application on the basis of feed gas concentration, operating pressure, reaction rates and desired transfer efficiency.
