Welcome.







This web site is designed to give potential manufacturers and investors information related to intellectual property developed at Valdosta State University (Georgia) in the area of economical generation of ozone. We are seeking an investor that is interested in licensing the technology from the Valdosta State University (State of Georgia, Board of Regents) and bringing it to market. Ozone generation and application is a rapidly growing market that extends to many areas including food processing, agriculture, pulp and paper, municipal water treatment, medicine, etc..

Ozone (O3) has a wide range of commercial applications in the environmental, medicinal and chemical industries. It carries out many of the same tasks as chlorine, Chlorox, and hydrogen peroxide but must be manufactured on-site because it decomposes rapidly. The three advantages of ozone are the speed with which it reacts, its strength (it breaks chemical bonds easily) and the fact that it is made from oxygen (abundant) and decomposes back to oxygen (environmentally friendly!).

There are three basic parameters that must be considered in constructing an ozone generator. First is the capital cost of the equipment; second is the conversion efficiency of oxygen to ozone; and third is the power consumption. The second and third considerations become more important for large-scale applications of ozone generation (e.g. treating a municipality's drinking water, treating a paper mills effluent, etc.). The working model developed in this lab successfully takes all three parameters into account in the MOG (Manning Ozone Generator).
