OZONE GENERATION TECHNOLOGY: XF™ VESSELS and MODIPAC™

IGS™ ozone generation equipment offers users market-leading performance and Degrémont Technologies’ well-proven design technology for generating ozone from oxygen. The main features of this technology are set out below - many of these are unique to Degrémont Technologies.

The major advance came when “AT” was commercialised. The adoption of non-glass dielectric material, combined with Degrémont Technologies’ standard practices, revolutionised the ozone market. The latest development of the IGS™ product has taken ozone generation technology to unparalleled levels. The advantages are manifold:

• Compared with glass dielectrics, ozone can be generated at much higher concentrations which dramatically reduces oxygen consumption and, consequently, operating costs. Additionally, oxygen storage on site is either reduced or fewer gas deliveries are required.
• IGS™ dielectrics are more robust than glass.
• The operating voltage of approximately 4000 V is lower than that of glass.
• Each dielectric element is tested at over twice the operating voltage before installation – glass cannot be tested in this manner.
• The “Intelligent Gap System” (IGS) optimizes the ozone generator design which enhances all aspects of the operating parameters.
• Degrémont Technologies’ system of individual fuses for each tube is still employed ensuring that a single dielectric failure does not shut down the generator. Without this protection, projected dielectric failure rates equate directly to generator downtime.
• Vessels are compact as a result of the high ozone production per unit area of electrode and contain fewer tubes than the equivalent glass systems.
• The generators are floor mounted allowing easy inspection and, if required, convenient access for maintenance.
