A frame-type ozone generator ( 242 ) has a plurality of elongated electrodes ( 201, 202 ) deployed in substantially parallel, spaced relation to each other so as to form a substantially flat electrode array, and a flow generator ( 241 ) for generating a flow of oxygen containing gas through the electrode array in a direction substantially perpendicular to the electrode array. Each of the electrodes is formed from an electrically conductive core ( 211 ) covered with polyvinyl-difluoride ( 212 ). Preferably, each electrode array is arranged within a frame ( 206 ) of a given area. Also disclosed are an apparatus for treating a product with ozone-containing gas in which pressure-waves are used to enhance effectiveness of the ozone treatment, and a two-chamber batch method for implementing treatment of a product with possibly harmful gases such as ozone. |
