TEXAS LINEN CO. LTD. – Beats The Stock Market By Susan Capparelle Austin, Texas – With just $7,500 each, Gary Dufresne and Kevin Lindgren invested in the purchase of a commercial laundry plant with revenues of 15-million a year. Without much money between them, Dufresne and Lindgren drew on their experience and hard-working attitudes to attract the right backer in 2003. The rest is a monumental success story. “We took a huge risk and it paid off,” said Gary Dufresne, CEO. “The total cost of the facility was around 5 million. Now, all our debt is paid off sowe must be doing right.” Science tries to duplicate and improve what Mother Nature performs. Ozone is no exception. Last month we looked at the UV Light (photo chemical) process of creating ozone. This month we’ll examine the carona discharge process. Remember, when stimulated (agitated) by either an electric charge or Ultra Violet light (specific wavelength) the oxygen molecule (O2) breaks up and temporarily joins other oxygen molecules forming O3 (ozone) or other levels of ozone depending on the charge and feed source. These outside valences or oxygen molecules are not happy in this new arrangement and seek to disengage themselves creating oxidizing power – or ozone. Unlike most other chemicals, ozone has no natural resource or method of storage. It is generated on-site and due to its rapid decomposition; cannot be stored for extended periods of time.
