Abstract:
Apparatus for eliminating the emission of noxious or malodorous components from a flow of gas, the apparatus comprising:a gas suction apparatus coupled to a source of gas having a noxious or malodorous component, the gas suction apparatus including an outlet, a gas mixing chamber coupled to the outlet of the gas suction apparatus to receive the flow of gas, an ozone generation apparatus having an outlet coupled to the gas mixing chamber for introducing a controlled flow of ozone into the gas mixing chamber to mix with the gas having the noxious or malodorous component, and a reaction conduit coupled to an outlet of the gas mixing chamber to receive the mixed gas and ozone, the reaction conduit having surface features on its inner surface assuring turbulent flow of the gasses through the length of the conduit, and being of sufficient length to assure substantial decomposition and removal of the noxious and malodorous components from the flow of gas, the reaction conduit having an outlet.
