  • Patent number: 7604780
    Abstract: An ozone disinfection apparatus is provided whereby the ozone is dispersed in a vapor. The use of an ozonated vapor increases saturation of the article, surface or area being disinfected. Ozone from a generator on-board the apparatus is forced into contact with a fluid, such as water, to form the vapor. Particle size of the vapor is controlled by passing the vapor through an atomizer.

  • Patent number: 6598431
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for using a dry cleaning machine to clean laundry that reduces environmental impacts by the substitution of ozone for the hazardous solvents traditionally used in the dry cleaning washing process. The apparatus and method for dry cleaning includes the steps of filtering the water whereby any debris present in the water is removed, measuring the dissolved ozone concentration of the water, recirculating the water between the tank and the water purifier until a desired ozone concentration is realized ensuring that the desired dissolved ozone concentration of the water is attained prior to the start of the cleaning process and continuously recirculating the water through the dry cleaning washing machine, the water purifier, and the tank during the cleaning process.

  • Patent number: 6090294
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for the purification of contaminated water whereby the contamination level of the wastewater is automatically monitored and treatment self-adjusted and continued until the desired level of purification is reached. Specifically, if upon treatment a pre-set purification level is not obtained a water recycle control means completely precludes the uptake of additional contaminated water and recycles wastewater within the apparatus until the desired level of purification is obtained.
