Decrease Grease Trap Ozone Treatment

March 31, 2011 Leave a comment

oile remove Ozone combined with micro bubble diffusion allows for extremely high mass transfer of the gas to wastewater.  This means creating a supersaturate solution of ozone with little to no off gassing in a very stable state. Supersaturated ozone solutions allow reactions with unsaturated hydrocarbons to happen faster, but also push reactions that typically would not happen in less concentrated solutions. BOD, COD, TSS and bacteria are now easily eliminated very efficiently and economically, as a result there is no primary or secondary sludge formation, and also remove or reduce unpleasant smell efficiently.

Global Bottled water market

December 3, 2010 Leave a comment

According to BMC’s , North America and EU are main market of bottled water, consumed 30.3% and 28.9% of global total consumption in 2009. America is the largest bottled water consumption country, consumed 8665,6 gallons in 2008, total market amount more than 11.7 billion us dollars. In the top 10 of bottled water consumption countries, China , Brazil and Italy all consumed more than 3,000 million gallons. The first of average consumption is Mexico, 59.1 gallons in 2008, the next one is Italy, 54.0 gallons. The countries of average consumption more than 30 gallons including UAE, Belgium & Luxemburg, German, France, Spain and Lebanon.

Some facts of desalination

November 29, 2010 Leave a comment
    • It is estimated that some 30% of the world’s irrigated areas suffers from salinity problems and remediation is seen to be very costly.
    • In 2008 there were more than 13,000 desalination plants around the world in 120 countries. They produce some 63.48 million m3/day of freshwater.
    • Global desalination investment total amount up to 24.8 billion us dollars and increased 20% to 30% per year.
    • It is estimated that there total 70 billion us dollar market in future 20 years, and china market share will get a quick increasing.
    • The most important users of desalinated water are in the Middle East, (mainly Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain), which uses about 70% of worldwide capacity; and in North Africa (mainly Libya and Algeria), which uses about 6% of worldwide capacity.
    • Saudi Arabia plants take about 24% capacity of world desalination. The biggest desalination plant is JEBEL ALI desalination plant in UAE which  produce 300 million m3/day.

      Water Ozone mixing

      SS ozone/water blender

      High Performance Ozone/Water  SS  blender

      How it works

      The turbulent flow produce negative pressure and absorb the ozone into the blender, special designed internal  structure make the sinuous flow swirling and striking in the tube, our experience proved that the solubility is double than Venturi tube when mixing ozone and water.

      The pressure at "1" is higher than at "2" because the fluid speed at "1" is lower than at "2".Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure

      The Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a fluid flows through a constricted section of pipe. The Venturi effect is named after Giovanni Battista Venturi (1746–1822), an Italian physicist.
