Ozone is the earth's #1 germ killing agent

一, what is ozone?

Ozone (O3) is a gas composed of 3 oxygen atoms combined in a ring. Ozone itself is a blue coloured gas, which has a distinct odour, and is about one and a half times heavier than air. When it is under pressure, it is an unstable gas that decomposes readily into molecular oxygen.

They wipe out unwanted odours and render the air clean and fresh before reverting back to oxygen. Ozone is created naturally during a thunderstorm, but it cannot be stored – for deoderising and anti-bacterial applications it must be generated on site.

Ozone is a very powerful oxidation agent. It is easily soluble in water and its ability to eliminate the microorganisms that form pollutants is very good. Once the problem is solved, the ozone dissolves - our method forces the ozone to react with the pollutants and break them down, after which any residual ozone returns to oxygen.

二, Ozone benefits

1. Over 50% more efficient at breaking through bacteria membranes compared to chlorine

2. Eliminates a wide range of bacteria over 3000 times faster than chlorine

3. Potent disinfectant at low concentrations

4. Decomposes into oxygen gas leaving no by-products

5. FDA-approved for direct contact with food

6. Extends shelf life of most food products

7. Efficient odor, taste and color remover

8. Easily and economically produced at point of use

9. Easily detectable at low concentrations by humans, thereby safe to manage

10.Regulatory framework in place for human exposure in most countries

三, Materials compatible with ozone

1. Ceramics

2. Glass

3. 304L and 316L stainless steel

4. PTFE and ETFE Teflon

5. ECTFE halar

6. Kalrez/Chemrez

7. Gor Tex

8. Hypalon

四,What is ozone half-life

Under standard conditions (21°C, 1 bar) the half-life of ozone gas is 20 minutes. Dissolved ozone half-life is 20 minutes at pH 6, 15 minutes at pH 7 and 5 minutes at pH 8. The main factor which reduces ozone half-life is higher temperature pressure and velocity.
