This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop an electrochemical ozone generator to treat water for drinking and industrial processing. In the US, 85% of all public water systems serve fewer than 3,300 people. For providing these small unit drinking water systems, three congressional findings highlight the challenges. First, the small communities typically have a low tax basis making affordability a challenge unless the system is low in cost. Secondly, the small communities typically do not have technical experts to manage the water disinfection system thus posing a challenge that the system must be simple to operate. Third, the popular chlorine based systems will be outlawed in 2015 for drinking water systems according to the EPA Stage 2 Safe Drinking Water Act. To this end, Reactive Innovations, LLC is proposing to develop an electrochemical ozone generation system that produces ozone directly into a process flow stream using only ambient air and DC electrical power.The broader impacts of this research are a robust reactor platform is obtained that can be used for small and large scale water treatment processing. The US drinking water equipment market was $115M in 2005 growing at a compound annual rate of 5%. In addition to producing ozone for water and wastewater disinfection, the proposed electrochemical ozone generator may also be applied toward purifying water systems for semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and pulp/paper processing. These applications represent a worldwide water treatment market projected to be worth $11B by the year 2015.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将开发一种电化学臭氧发生器，用于处理饮用水和工业加工用水。在美国，85%的公共供水系统服务的人口不足3300人。对于提供这些小型饮用水系统，三个国会调查结果突出了挑战。首先，小社区的税收基础通常较低，除非系统成本低，否则负担能力是一个挑战。其次，小社区通常没有技术专家来管理水消毒系统，因此对系统必须简单操作提出了挑战。第三，根据美国环保署第二阶段安全饮用水法，流行的氯基系统将在2015年被禁止用于饮用水系统。为此，Reactive Innovations有限责任公司提议开发一种电化学臭氧生成系统，该系统仅使用环境空气和直流电源就能直接将臭氧产生到工艺流中。本研究的更广泛影响是获得了一个可用于小型和大型水处理处理的坚固的反应器平台。2005年，美国饮用水设备市场规模为1.15亿美元，年复合增长率为5%。除了生产用于水和废水消毒的臭氧外，所提出的电化学臭氧发生器还可以应用于半导体制造、制药、食品加工和纸浆/纸张加工的净化水系统。这些应用代表了全球水处理市场，预计到2015年价值110亿美元。
