Apparatus and method for ozone gas distribution
First Claim
1. An ozone gas dispensing system, comprising:
- one or more ozone systems, each deployed at one or more ozone dispensing locations;
an ozone measurement system configured to generate ozone dispensing data in response to the amount of ozone dispensed by at least one of the one or more ozone systems;
a controller configured to process the ozone dispensing data and control the one or more ozone systems; and
a communication system configured to allow a controller, the ozone measurement system, and the one or more ozone systems to communicate via one or more communication links.

Abstract
An apparatus and method to distribute ozone is described. In one embodiment, one or more ozone systems are in communication with a control center. The central control center receives ozone quality and delivery data from the ozone systems. The control center processes the ozone quality and delivery data to determine the amount and type of ozone dispensed. The ozone quality and delivery data is also used to generate ozone consumption data used to determine the cost of the ozone gas dispensed to the customer. In one embodiment, the control center generates an ozone usage bill based on the amount of ozone consumed. The control center also may remotely manage the one or more ozone systems such that if a customer exceeds a billing threshold, the control center may turn off the one or more systems. In another embodiment, the one or more ozone systems may be responsive to an allocation processing system that controls the amount of ozone dispensed via a key code.
