SOTA's Water Ozonator WOZ3 and NOX Production

August 22, 2001

Hello Group;

As promised, I would like to let you all know the test results from

the air quality lab in Alberta, Canada that tested our WOZ3 108mg/Hr

ozonator for production of Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX's). The lab

technician called me today with the air analysis results. His test

equipment has a baseline of 21-22 parts per billion (PPB), yes per

billion, which is 1,000 less than one part per million (PPM). This

shows the naturally occuring NOX compounds in the air we breathe.

When he ran our WOZ3 through this NO analyzer, the reading went up to

23-24 PPB from 21-22 PPB. This represented an increase of 1-2 PPB of

NOX's.

In essence, said the lab technician, our WOZ3 ozonator generates

virtually ZERO oxides of nitrogen. The analyzer barely reacted, and

put into perspective 1-2 PPB rise is totally insignificant and

detectable with only the most sensitive lab equipment.

So, there it is. Finally I can put this monkey to bed. The WOZ3

produces, for all intents of purposes, ZERO oxides of nitrogen. Isn't

that GREAT news for all?

The lab technician said it was most likely due to the very low

temperature of operation of our cold-corona design. NOX production is

accelerated in a corona field when the temperature goes up. So, low

heat is the key to zero NOX production, it seems. Or perhaps our

unique design has something to do with it.

The WOZ3 shines once again.

When the formal documentation is sent to me, I will post the data on

So fellow WOZ3 ozonators, happy ozonating!
