The hydrodynamic characteristics in three pilot scale bubble-diffuser contactors have been investigated using the Residence Time Distribution method in order to achieve a better understanding of ozonation contactors and their optimum operational conditions. Two mathematical models for two types of contactor have been proposed and the experiments show a good correlation with the models. The optimisation of some important hydrodynamic parameters has been carried out.
