What Is, Why and Where to Use, Ozone

 What is Ozone?
Ozone (03) is activated oxygen, nature's way of cleaning the air we breathe. It occurs naturally in the environment. Oxygen (02) generated by plant life is converted by ultraviolet radiation to ozone by binding a third oxygen atom to the normal two to form 03. Lightning also forms ozone during storms. The fresh sweet smell in the air after a thunderstorm is the smell of ozone. 

Ozone can be created on demand with an ozone generator, which converts the oxygen produced by our plant life, using the high-frequency corona discharge principle, applied in all of Eco-Tec's Equipment, to produce ozone just as lightning does during a thunderstorm. This principle is the most powerful man-made discovery to create activated oxygen or ozone, the Natural, purifying, cleansing medium. 

Why man-made?
Man needs natural products as raw materials now to improve safety and good health during manufacture and use of products on which he is dependant for long-term survival. Ozone fits these criteria. Ozone is generated on site and on demand to neutralise (oxidise) all substances harmful to humans like micro-organisms, viruses, bacteria, fungi and kills impurities and odours in the air and water. Ozone destruction is a non-selective process, which means that a given target cannot develop immunity or resistance to Ozone, which is the case with most antibiotics and medicines. When Ozone is used to clear the air of bacteria or water of germs, no 'unhealthy for humans' residues are left behind which is the case with chemicals.

 How does it work?
Ozone lysis (disintegration of the cell wall) microbial cells. Ozone attacks unsaturated carbon=carbon double bonds in organic compounds. The cell membranes of many bacteria and algae are made up of lipids that contain a variety of unsaturated acids. Ozone controls odours and neutralises volatile organic compounds by breaking the chemical bonds between odour producing compounds, through oxidation.

There is no masking and disguising of the problem odour, chemical or virus/bacteria, it is destroyed completely by biological breakdown of its structure.

Why ozone?
Being a gas, ozone reaches where conventional cleaners/disinfectants cannot. Ozone destroys pollutants 3200 times faster than traditional oxidants like chlorine with no harmful by-products, since it reverts back to oxygen and carbon dioxide, both natural products.

 Applications:
Ozone is an internationally used oxidant for the neutralisation of bacteria, viruses, odours, bad tastes and odours in water, pollen and tobacco smoke, moulds, mildew, mite faeces and chemicals in the air we breathe or water we drink.

Some areas include-: 

¨      Indoor air quality in bars, restaurants, casinos, meeting rooms, hotel rooms, airports, public places, high rise buildings, supermarkets, homes, etc.

¨      Water treatment applications include fresh water supplies, wastewater, bottled water, laundry and car wash water, pools, aquariums, etc.  

¨      Hydroponics and tunnel farming, preserving and disinfection of fruits and vegetables in storage and pack houses, healthier environment for pigs, chickens and other animals raised in confined areas.  

¨      Flood & Fire restoration. Ozone is rapidly becoming the treatment method of choice for odour removal in fire restoration and flood recovery.  

¨      Chemical destruction/precipitation. Solvent odours from newly painted/Lacquered furniture, floors, interiors; vinyl floors and synthetic covers, other fabrics, insecticide fumes; dry cleaning fumes; arc welding fumes; delaying the ripening of fruits/vegetables and blooming of flowers (removal of ethylene), chemical pollutants in raw, process and waste-water, insecticide/pesticide residues, "black liquor " minerals, etc.

OZONE / SALIENT POINTS

1.    Naturally occurring gas. Part of Earth's Natural balance.

2.    Natural disinfectant, deodorizer, sanitizer and sterilizer.

3.    Kills all bacteria, viruses, mildew and fungi.

4.    Leaves no residue - start with nothing but air and end with nothing but purified air/water and job done, naturally.

5.    It's a penetrating gas, gets in where other disinfecting agents find inaccessible, surfaces, nooks and crannies, tools, implements, kitchen utensils, clothing, drapes, furnishing, bodies, etc.

6.    3000 X quicker than chlorine and 1.5 X stronger/more reactive and it's free!!!

7.    No buying, transporting and storing of dangerous chemicals (or cut down use of them.)

8.    Effective on cold tolerant viruses, etc. wet or dry conditions.

9.    Hygienic food preparation processing in the kitchen, fridge and storage areas, displays/catering areas.

10.   Food sterilization reduces spoilage, flavor mixing/cross-contamination    eliminated, prolongs shelf-life.

11.      Removes odours and cross-infection amongst staff and family (home/office/medical), smoke and liquor smells, toilets, bathrooms, kitchen, pets, babies, aged, accidents/spills, caravan, boats and more...

12.   Cleans washrooms, bathrooms, showers, cupboards, preventing mildew/fungi while it sterilizes and deodorizes. Leaves mattresses, towels, clothing, smelling fresh and sanitary.

13. Continuous generation therefore permanently at work, unlike chemicals which get coated and break down and leave toxic residue.

14. Ozone friendly/Green. Repair Nature naturally - she needs our help!

15.  Power consumption is negligible.

16.  Locally produced and serviced in South Africa.

17.  12v, 24v, 110v, 220v and solar panel.
