  • Publication number: 20040028550
    Abstract: In a process for generating an effective concentration of ozone for deodorization and destruction of contaminants. The contaminants are covered by an enclosure which is about the perimeter thereof. A conduit connected to an ozone generator is inserted into the enclosure and the distal end of the conduit is positioned at about the center of the area of contamination. Ozone is directed into the contaminant enclosure for a sufficient period of time to destroy the contaminant and deodorize the enclosed area.
