How it works

The generator and control system supply the selected process. ORP is not a universal dose measurement.

What to establish
  • Review contact, off-gas and residual-control routes together.
  • Use the approved monitoring, ventilation and interlock arrangement.
  • Do not treat an ORP reading as a universal ozone dose.

Motion explains direction and mechanism; it does not represent measured performance. Geometry, stage order, pipe routes and equipment configuration are conceptual. Use the approved project design, operating instructions and verified model data.

Key takeaways

  • Ozone oxidises organics and disinfects.
  • Control dose with ORP and a destruct unit.
  • Never let ozone reach fish or people.
  • Best in marine, hatchery and high-value systems.

THE SHORT ANSWER

What is an ozone system?

A generator that produces ozone gas, a contact chamber that dissolves it into water, and a destruct unit that removes any excess before water returns.

OZONE SYSTEMS

Why use an ozone system?

ClarityBreaks down colour and organics.
DisinfectionStrong biosecurity.
SkimmingImproves foam fractionation.
PLANNING WORKBENCH

Work with your own numbers.

Use the tools below to explore the relevant arithmetic. Enter measured values or declared assumptions. An estimate does not establish equipment capacity, biological performance or a safe operating limit.

Nominal hydraulic residence time

Relate wetted chamber volume to actual flow through that chamber.

Assumptions and limits

Volume ÷ flow is a nominal hydraulic value. It is not UV dose, ozone CT, pathogen inactivation or biological contact effectiveness. Mixing, short-circuiting and validated reactor performance remain separate.

—Nominal residence · seconds
—Nominal residence · minutes
Enter your values, or load the labelled arithmetic example. No design values are pre-filled.
FormulaNominal residence seconds = chamber litres × 3.6 ÷ flow in m³/h.

QUESTIONS

Ozone System for Aquaculture and Aquariums FAQ

Is ozone safe for fish?

Only when fully removed before water returns.

Do I need ORP control?

Yes.

Is ozone better than UV?

They do different things and are often used together.
