HISTORY OF ARAN^TM by T. Nick Trikilis

The sole purpose of this history is to familiarize potential customers and business associates with the extensive research that was conducted by my late father, Nick Trikilis, by other researchers involved with Ozone and by me.

Since Nick Trikilis was the National Sales Manager for Automatic Electrical Devices from 1946 to 1950, his sale of Ozone producing machines under the Trademark "HomOzone^TM" was the basis for his future patent of the ARAN^TM generator.

In 1950, under my father's company name, ELECTRO PRODUCTS and ENGINEERING Co., all rights to the HomOzone™ products including the trademark, "HomOzone^TM" were purchased and the company was moved from Cincinnati, Ohio to Canton, Ohio. In 1953, my father incorporated "Aranair^TM Corporation" and moved the business to Wooster, Ohio.

My father was a pioneer in an industry that by European standards existed long before the United States entertained the potential Ozone research as an industry of the future.

Prior to Ozone treatment of water in the United States, the Europeans were purifying water in Paris before World War II.

With DuPont, Dow and Monsanto producing the chemical "Chlorine" for water purification, most of the Ozone Research was conducted by ordinary Medical Doctors (MD's) which was indirectly funded by companies wishing to discourage the use of Ozone for water purification purposes. This laid the foundation for governmental intervention for the use of Ozone as a purifying agent!

Nick Trikilis was the Founder and President of ARANAIR^TM Corporation from 1953 to November of 1980. He was killed in an automobile accident and subsequently ARANAIR^TM CORPORATION ceased to exist. From 1981 to 1988, I worked on a patent improvement for the ARAN^TM generator and ultimately was able to discover a "new process" for generating ARAN^TM which made the manufacturing of industrial water and air purification systems possible.

The Ozone Industry continued to progressively expand and become an industry disproving the theory that "OZONE IS A HEALTH HAZARD." Many researchers dealing with Ozone began changing the attitudes of scientists on a world-wide level, who were once against the use of Ozone as a purifier, to an attitude that the salvation of the Earth may come from this exceptional Oxygen Polymer.

As my father's patent was searched by the Patent Office and granted a patent in 1965, the 0₄, 0₅, 0₆, 0₇, 0_X, etc. created by the ARAN^TM generator was a significant breakthrough in the Air and Water Purification Industry since ARAN^TM was created without splitting the Nitrogen molecule. ARAN^TM is created by the ARAN^TM generator without creating Oxides of Nitrogen!

Since Ozone is created differently than ARAN^TM, the formation of Oxides of Nitrogen (NO, NO₂ and N₂0₂) is more often found in Ozone-producing systems. When these Oxides of Nitrogen combine with water vapor and rise into the upper atmosphere, Acid Rain results from this formation and contributes to the water pollution and leaching of heavy metals into our water systems as they are dissolved by the Acid Rain.

It is abundantly clear that Ozone, without the presence of Oxides of Nitrogen, is easily more tolerable and not harmful to human health when found in "acceptable quantities" in our atmosphere. In fact, after a "thunderstorm" we often experience a "fresher, cleaner air" that is invigorating. This is caused by the formation of Ozone through this gigantic electrical "spark." Yet, Oxides of Nitrogen are also formed and this is not healthy to human beings.
