Patent ID: 8414839

Claim:
A system for providing a multiphase treatment of biofilms and other contaminants in water circulation lines of an immersion facility wherein water is repeatedly circulated comprising: an ozone generator for generating ozone in a feed gas, means for promoting a flow of said feed gas through said ozone generator, generating an ozonated said feed gas, and, at least one ozone emitter coupled to said ozone generator and receiving said ozonated feed gas, said ozone emitter further comprising: an ozone receiving structure, a gripping region on said ozone emitter, said gripping region configured to sealably engage an opening in said water circulation line, and further wherein said gripping region is configured to allow said ozone emitter to be ejected from said opening when a water circulation pump is activated to force water from said opening, a diffuser in said ozone emitter for emitting said ozonated feed gas into said water circulation line when said ozone emitter is engaged in said opening, said diffuser having a much higher impedance for flow of water therethrough than for flow of a gas, thereby preventing water from entering said ozone emitter when said ozone emitter is submerged in said water.
