The entrained air will have an oxidizing effect upon organic matter and also cause circulation of the water within the tank. To enhance oxidation of organic and inorganic matter, a UV lamp may be located in the head space to convert oxygen molecules in the air into ozone molecules.

UV radiation from the UV lamp will also have a virucidal and germicidal effect upon microorganisms on the surface of the water and in water to some depth below the water surface. To further enhance oxidation of organic matter and the virucidal and germicidal effect of ultraviolet light, the UV lamp is mounted within the water toward the bottom of the tank. The outlet of the tube extends into the tank to a location proximate the UV lamp. The air entrained water flowing out of the tube would be subjected to UV irradiation to convert oxygen molecules entrained in the water into ozone molecules. As the ozone and oxygen molecules migrate upwardly, the will perform an oxidizing function. Moreover the water flowing from the tube in and about a UV lamp would be irradiated and produce a disinfecting effect. | 12-11-2008 |
20090001029 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TREATING WATER WITH OZONE - Water within a water tank is irradiated with ultraviolet light from a UV lamp for virucidal and germicidal purposes while simultaneously transforming oxygen molecules to ozone molecules in an oxygen containing gas flowing within an annular space defined by a sleeve surrounding the UV lamp.
