Pinnacle Ozone Solutions has released Episode 9 of Pinnacle Academy, its educational video series for engineers, operators, and water treatment professionals. This installment features Ron Moody of BMT/OSTI and focuses on one of the most fundamental yet often overlooked aspects of ozone system operation: accurate ozone monitoring, measurement, and control.
The episode opens with a foundational premise: you cannot optimize or troubleshoot an ozone system without accurate measurement. From there, Moody walks viewers through how BMT analyzers leverage dual beam UV photometry at 254 nm to deliver reliable, drift-corrected ozone readings — a critical capability for maintaining system performance over time.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to monitor placement strategy throughout a water treatment facility. Moody details the key monitoring points — from generator output and residual off-gas to vent and safety leak detection — and explains the distinct role each plays in a comprehensive ozone monitoring program.
The episode also addresses what happens when measurements go wrong. Common field mistakes — including fouling, moisture ingress, missing sample filtration, and improper sample gas flow rates — are examined in practical detail. Moody connects accurate measurement directly to dosing control, illustrating how errors in monitoring can cascade into system-wide performance issues.
Whether designing a new ozone system or troubleshooting an existing installation, Episode 9 offers a practical foundation for getting ozone monitoring right. The full episode is now available on the Pinnacle Ozone Solutions YouTube channel.
