flexibility and robustness

ENERGY

Modern ozone systems require less energy

than anticipated. With the EFFIZON®evo
generation, we have lowered the energy
consumption once again by up to 20%. This
means that WEDECO systems are among
the most energy efficient ozone plants to
be found anywhere.
OX YG E N

The EFFIZON®evo technology allows up

to 30 times less nitrogen dosing than
comparable competitor solutions. This
reduces the formation of nitrogen oxide
(NOx) as well as potential corrosion
and performance issues considerably.
Furthermore, the technique is insensitive to
concentrations of hydrocarbons (THC) in the
feedgas supply. This permits a high degree
of flexibility when selecting potential gas
suppliers. Even operation with treated air
(dried, PSA) is possible without fundamental
changes to plant technology.
CO O L I N G WAT E R

Cooling of the electrodes with cooling

water directly influences the efficiency of
the plant. EFFIZON®evo generators achieve
maximum ozone production efficiency, even
in situations with cooling water temperatures
up to 35°C. Improved hydraulic generator
design characteristics improve heat
dissipation and reduce mechanical stress
to the electrode at the same time. Cooling
of the power supply unit is integrated in the
cooling concept using either air or water,
depending on the system type.

Creating ozone through

silent electrical discharge
EFFIZON®evo electrodes create ozone
using the principle of silent electrical
discharge, transforming oxygen molecules
to ozone. In more detail: the high voltage
field is applied between the grounded
tube and the electrode, separated by
a dielectric. A fraction of the oxygen
molecules is split in the electric field and
spontaneously form ozone molecules by
combining with another oxygen molecule.
