A facility working apparatus includes objects (), a management apparatus (), and an exterior information source () such as a weather company, a power company or the like. Each object () and the management apparatus (), the exterior information source () and the management apparatus () are connected via a network. Each object () includes a facility () such as a heat storage air conditioner, power storage air conditioner or the like, and a controlling apparatus () for working and controlling the facility () and for extracting facility information of the facility () and user determination information. The management apparatus () includes a database () and a data processing section (). The data processing section () in the management apparatus () carries out processing based upon facility information, user determination data, and exterior information, and generates working and controlling information. The information is transferred to corresponding controlling apparatus (). Performance required for the control apparatus for controlling each facility can be suppressed to be low performance, and sufficient working accuracy of each facility can be maintained.

Connection is established from a communication device having a plurality of platforms, such as a push-button-type telephone, a personal computerand a cellular phone, to a base stationthrough a public line networkand the Internet, and an operation guidance is given by means of a voice guidance or a Web page from base station, so that the base stationremote-controls an electric apparatusin accordance with the user's operation on the communication devicesto. The guide program, voice guidance and Web pages in the base stationare made to be updateable in storing operationsin the base station, so that it is possible to easily add a function thereto and also change the functions. It becomes possible to correspond to various platforms, easily add various functions, and also to easily update the operation menu.

An ozone storage apparatus is disclosed for storing ozone efficiently. A process for efficient water treatment is also disclosed. The ozone storage container has a generally U-shape and is filled with an absorbent. The ozone is supplied and discharged from the same opening. The temperature of the absorbent is kept between 0&deg; C. and &minus;30&deg; C. The generated ozone from an ozone generating means is cooled by a cooling device and is supplied to a storage device.

Ozone storage method and ozone storage apparatus

In treatment of water by injection of ozone into the water for removal of harmful matters, odor matters, and color matters therein, either or both of a nonyl phenol and a cresol are added to the water to be treated. The nonyl phenol is added together with a lower alcohol or acetone to the water to be treated. The cresol is added together with a lower alcohol or acetone to the water to be treated. A p-nonyl phenol is added as the nonyl phenol for treatment. As the cresol for addition, a p-cresol is added. As the nonyl phenol for addition, a nonyl phenol is used such that two molecular weights of 220 and 107 are detected when measured by either or both of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. By the above treatment, the decomposition reaction of ozone can be accelerated, and thereby it becomes possible to accelerate the oxidative decomposition reaction of organic matters, the amount of ozone required for the decomposition of harmful matters can be reduced with the decomposition time. The decomposition rate of organic matters can be accelerated by addition of a nonyl phenol or a cresol. Accordingly, when the process for accelerating the reaction of ozone is applied in water treatment, the treatment rate of water can be enhanced. The treatment volume per time of water can be enhanced, whereby the site area for water treatment facilities can be reduced even in the event that the capacity of a reaction tank is reduced.
