Hello Richard,
I have no idea what's out there commercially, but here's how I would do it.
There are high power, medium pressure argon-mercury UV lamps available
commercially with quartz tube walls. One of these could be placed next to a
quartz tube through which the water is pumped. A sparge would introduce small
air bubbles into the water. The UV in the lamp would convert the oxygen in the
air bubbles into ozone. To achieve optimum efficiency, each tube would be
placed at the focus of an elliptical reflector. Dopants are available for such
lamps to increase the output in the desired UV wavelengths. This seems so
obvious, I imagine something like this is already available.
