臭氧反应器的设计必须考虑几个参数:气液传质效率；动力学方面；以及流体力学行为。反应动力学和反应器水力之间的关系允许预测现有反应器的性能；或新反应器的接触器类型，以及其设计和运行参数，以适当实现水质处理目标。连续反应器中理想流动的两种极端类型是全搅拌槽式反应器（CSTR）和塞流式反应器（PFR）。现有的反应器行为，通常介于这两种流动类型之间，由更多或更少的串联CSTR模拟。 本文阐述了反应器水力对不同水质处理目标的重要性，并介绍了不同接触器（即传统鼓泡塔、PFR、深U形管）的优点。根据动力学反应速率讨论了各种化合物的消毒和氧化的水处理目标。水力特性的重要性在很大程度上取决于水质处理目标。

Several parameters must be considered for the design of ozone reactors: gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency; kinetic aspects; and hydrodynamic behavior. The relationship between the reaction kinetics and the reactor hydraulics allow the performances of an existing reactor to be predicted; or the type of contactors for a new reactor, as well as its design and operation parameters, to be selected for proper attainment of water quality treatment objectives. The two extreme types of ideal flow in continuous reactors are the completely stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and the plug flow reactor (PFR). Existing reactor behavior, generally in between these two flow types, is modeled by a greater or smaller number of CSTRs in series. This paper illustrates the importance of the reactor hydraulics for different water quality treatment goals and presents the advantages of different contactors (i.e. conventional bubble column, PFR, deep U tube). Water treatment objectives for disinfection and oxidation of various compounds are discussed in relation to the kinetic reaction rates. The importance of the hydraulic behavior has been found to be strongly dependent on the water quality treatment objectives.
