Abstract
A process and apparatus for the recovery of energy from an ozone production unit including an ozone generator supplied with gas from pretreatment units and using ozone produced thereby to treat water. Heat released from the pretreatment units and the ozone generator is collected by a first fluid circulating in a first closed fluid circuit. The first fluid is passed in heat exchange relationship with a second closed fluid circuit having a second fluid. The second fluid is also passed in heat exchange relationship with a third closed fluid circulating circuit having a third fluid. The ozone produced by the ozone generator is used to treat water in a water treatment facility. Any residual ozone being transferred to an ozone destroying reactor which employs the third fluid as a heat exchange medium for destroying the residual ozone.
