HOW OZONE IS MADE: |
---|
Did you know that ozone is made in nature? It naturally does it in two ways - Lightning (Corona Discharge) and Sun (UV Light) |
Lightning (Corona Discharge) - Lightning passing through the air creates ozone from oxygen. |
Sun (UV Light) - Oxygen in the presence of 185 NM UV light creates ozone. |
Both methods break up oxygen molecules to form ozone. |
How does Ozone Solutions make ozone? With the same methods as above, but on a much smaller scale. |
