Sizing Guide. How Much Ozone Do I Need?

How many milligrams of ozone per hour (mg/h) you need depends on three factors. 1) Temperature. 2) Humidity. 3) Your objective.

Contact us to discuss your requirements of 10g ozone generator for drinking water supplier. Our experienced sales team can help you identify the options that best suit your needs.

Humidity reduces the amount of ozone that can be created by corona discharge by the percentage of humidity in the air. At 50% humidity, you reduce the amount of ozone that can be created by 50%. At 80% humidity, you reduce the amount of ozone that can be created by 80%. So on and so forth. (If using ceramic ozone plate technology.}

For that reason, and the fact ceramic ozone plate technology poses a fire hazard, we gave up selling plate technology years ago and invested in the next generator of ozone technology. Quartz tubes. Quart tubes glass with stainless steel screens on both sides to create ozone. The next-gen is more like a UV lamp with only metal on the inside. The total amount of surface that can create ozone is 5 times larger than our old 10g &#;lined&#; ceramic ozone plate. This new technology utilizes &#;cold corona&#; which means the ozone element does not get too hot (over 90 degrees.) Ceramic plates get over 140 degrees and the stacked transformers? 180 degrees. Less heat with our tech means more ozone! Also, since the ozone tube doesn&#;t get too hot, we don&#;t need to blow a high volume of air directly over the tube to create ozone. We can &#;suck&#; the ozone that is being created on the quartz tube through a fan, which allows for 3-4 times higher ozone concentrations exiting the unit vs conventional ozone plate technology.

So how much ozone do you need? You need around mg/h per 100 square feet to create &#;shock&#; levels of ozone. (6-10 ppm) 1ppm is the EPA guideline for ozone. Above 1ppm, ozone will start to compromise the lung function of humans. Over 5 ppm, ozone will kill small insects like mites (takes around one hour of 5 ppm or more exposure) and for sure kill all molds, bacteria, and viruses which often only take minutes to kill.

How much ozone you need also depends on your objective. Are you trying to kill dust mites or bird mites? Mold or fungus? Get rid of second-hand smoke damage? Get rid of VOC&#;s? Or just freshen the air. They all take different run times and protocols.

We provide exact information on how to perform ozone shock treatments in our manuals and over the . This is just general information on how ozone works and how much you need.

PS. Beware that the ozone machines being sold on Amazon and eBay directly from the Chinese are misrepresenting the amount of ozone they create! They feature mgh ceramic ozone plates but claim to produce 30,000, 36,000, even 40,000 milligram per hour of ozone. Others sell stacked ceramic plates on a transformer that present a fire hazard with un-replaceable plates. (even worse, see below). These types of ozone cells are now illegal in most countries due to the amount of homes they&#;ve burnt down, so the Chinese are liquidating them on Amazon for less than cost just to dump them on us, probably hoping we cause some havoc along the way. So before you buy an ozone generator on Amazon. You should strongly consider asking the seller to point you to the replacement plate and cost. And forget about getting an extended warranty. They charge you shipping both ways and these units are heavy! The cost of shipping them both ways for repair far exceeds what you paid for the product. Simply ask the vendor where you can buy a replacement ozone plate. Then note the strength of said ozone plate. And please note. Those stacked ceramic plate transformers heats up to 180 degrees within minutes and since heat destroys ozone, the amount of ozone that unit will make will be greatly reduced. They actually create a burnt ozone smell that will last for quite some time. So don&#;t apply our information to those machines. They will only treat rooms up to 300-400 square feet at best, then crap out within a year because the thin copper strip of metal on the on-off switch or timer will corrode from the ozone (why our units do not feature built in timers or on-off switches) Lucky for you, you found us!

A Burnt out stacked certamic plate transformer. These can utilize 2, 3, or 4 stacked plates. The red &#;hot&#; wires that connect to the ceramic are glued on and can dislodge and electrify the metal case, creating a shock or fire hazard. Or the metal part that the plates are glued to can become so hot they melt the plastic part of the transformer, or the separators. These transformers were deemed to be a fire hazzard and discontinued around the world. The Chinese are now liquidating them at a loss on Amazon. Not only will those who purchase them have to worry about burning down their house. Or getting shocked. They&#;ll be buying an item with no future. Once the plates wear out, and they will after only a few months. They can&#;t be replaced. Making the unit completely worthless except as a door stop. And get this. Since they&#;re heavy. The cost to pay shipping both ways for a replacement is over 2 times more than the cost of the item itself!

Factors to Help Determine Ozone Generator Size:

The recommendations we give are conservative and designed for professionals in the mold redemption, fire & flood restoration, and odor removal businesses. When charging for a service in these professions, companies cannot afford to have to come back and retreat, or re-initiate the application. This is the reason for our conservative recommendations.  Before choosing an ozone generator, it is important to understand ozone generator ratings and industry differences outlined in the following two paragraphs.

It is fairly common for some companies to advertise and recommend the size or output of an ozone generator with only square footage ratings for general air purification results in mind, rather than actual output levels needed for germ killing with Shock treatments.  There is some confusion of output ratings (usually square footage ratings) or how much ozone will be needed for a particular application.  Some of these sizing recommendations can be misleading.  (note that ppm, or "Parts Per Million" is not an ozone output measurement and should never be used to compare ozone generator outputs, only go by the Milligrams per Hour; "mghr").  Since sizing an ozone generator is dependant on several factors, we try to avoid giving unqualified square footage and ppm ratings.  Square footage ratings must also disclose whether they are for air purification, or for Shock treatments, as the mghr output recommendations will be vastly different.

One of the biggest competitive issues when purchasing an ozone generator is the ozone output rating in Milligrams Per Hour (mghr or mg/hr).  The most important thing to understand is that while mghr is the only fair way to compare the output of an ozone generator, the rating of 1 mghr of ozone output with one company does not always equal the 1 mghr rating with another company.  In fact, we often see discrepancies that are over-rated by a large margin; sometimes several hundred percent. 
The International Ozone Association (IOA) has an interest in this issue and expects to push ozone generator manufacturers to get a NIST (National Institute of Science and Technology) government accepted standard for mghr ratings.  The NIST standard was expected to be in place by now, but as the IOA is a Non-Profit organization, it has been difficult to get the required time allocated from appropriate directors to put towards this issue.
Allergy Purifiers LLC (o3ozone & www.o3ozone.com ) offers very conservative ratings designed for the professional fire, flood, MOLD, ODOR, and crime scene / death scene protein decomposition clean up industries.

Note that 0.2% of ozone is a significant level; this is why ozone concentration is measured in Parts Per Million (PPM).  It only takes 3-4 PPM to kill off all germs, including MOLD, Bacteria, and Viruses.

For Recommendations on just air purification, see "How To Purify Air"  After reviewing the information on this page to find the basic variables that affect your application, you are welcome to us your application information / variables for recommended output of an ozone generator at .

There are a couple questions and a few variables to consider when choosing an ozone generator. 

The intended use should be determined.  The basic choice is:

1) Air Purification

2) Shock Treating along with air purification. 

We highly suggest including Shock Treatment use.  Shock treatment use is when ozone in put into a room at high levels, usually for a few hours, to even a few days, to kill germs, mold, smoke or any odor.  Shock treatment use requires significantly more ozone than air purification, but is the best way to get maximum effectiveness of an ozone generator.

6 variables to consider to determine the appropriate size ozone generator:

(1) Type of contamination:

• Odors only in the air, such as smoke, indoor air pollution, chemical fumes, exhaust, and other emissions can be eliminated with ozone usually in short time with mild shock treatments.  However, Mold, organic or protein decomposition, skunk, smoke damage from a building fire, heavy cigarette or cigar smoke build-up from tenants or heavy smokers, and other extreme odors require longer treatment times, and, or a higher concentration of ozone for several hours, to several days of treatment time.

(2) Level of contamination:

• If the contamination is severe, more time, and or more ozone will be needed for the treatment.  In the case of HEAVY MOLD, HEAVY FIRE DAMAGE (SMOKE), or Crime Scene Clean-UP (decomposed protein), an expert construction company or specialist familiar with proper clean-up / remediation procedures should be consulted.  You can get an idea of what will be necessary for complete remediation of these heavy contaminant issue types by viewing our MOLD page.  Similar procedures will be followed for Fire / Smoke, and crime scene clean-up and other decomposed protein treatments.

(3) Size of treatment area:

• The size of the treatment area is extremely important in choosing the right size ozone generator.

(4) Temperature:

• Ozone is depleted much more rapidly in high temperatures, than in low temperatures.  At COLD temperatures, such as freezing, ozone may not be depleted for over 30 Days.  It is important to use ozone in temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. See understanding ozone depletion.

(5) Humidity:

(6) Desired treatment time:

• more ozone will be required for shorter treatment times, less for longer treatment times.
   

Recommended equipment:

For commercial mold or decontamination shock treatments .5-2 g/hr ozone should be used for every 100 sq/ft, depending on how fast the job needs to be done and how bad the problem is. With .5 g/hr / 100 sq/ft treatment should last for 1-2 days +, with 2 g/hr / 100 sq/ft it should only take about  6-12 hours.  NOTE that for UV ozone generators, only half the rated ozone above is usually necessary as these formulas consider only corona discharge ozone generators used in average humidity (which greatly reduces output of a corona discharge ozone generator).  UV ozone generators ozone output is not reduced by humidity.
