OZONE
GENERATORS
Ozone
is produced by passing dry Air through two concentric
electrodes, having a dielectric in-between them. A high
voltage is applied between both the electrodes to produce
a Corona discharge.
As the feed gas (Dry Air) is passed through the high
voltage electric field, a portion of Oxygen of the air
is converted to Ozone. The Ozone gas produced by Dry
air is used for disinfecting the air.

iron removal chemicals and biocides.
- Minimising
the effect of sick building syndrome caused by circulation
of trapped air inside air tight hotel buildings.
USAGE OF OZONE IN FOOD PROCESING
PLANTS
When brought in contact with any Food item, it destroys
all bacteria, viruses and cysts in a very short duration.
This avoids any kind of decay caused by bacteria and
will give a long shelf life. Ozone is very unstable
while reacting and decomposes back to oxygen. This property
of Ozone provides major contribution towards a cleaner
environment. The food industry uses minute amount s
of ozone to treat odors in diaries, fish processing
plants and slaughterhouses.
USAGE OF OZONE IN PHOTOGRAPHIC/
FILM STUDIOS
Ozone is used to oxidize wastes from the photographic
industry, and the oxidation of harmful compounds like
heavy metals, ethanol and acetic acid.
USAGE OF OZONE IN BEAUTY PARLOUR/AEROBICS
In Beauty Parlor/Aerobics Ozone is mainly used for air
purification. There are two aspects of air purification.
- Filtering
the air or reducing the dust content.
- Disinfection
of air from bacteria and viruses.
- Removal
of odor from the air.
USAGE OF OZONE IN COLD STORAGE
/ COOLING TOWERS
In cold storages Ozone is used for
1) cooling tower water treatment by:
- Improving
the color, odor, and taste and disinfecting the water.
This makes the water safe for humans also. Thus it
eliminates the use of harmful and costly Biocides
thus eliminating recurring expenditure in water treatment
chemicals.
- Removal
of soluble Iron and Manganese by de-complexion of
organically bound heavy metals.(Mn,Fe etc.). Thus
it eliminates the use of Iron Removal plant and also
the usage of Water treatment chemicals for iron removal
is minimized which eliminates recurring expenditure.
- Conversion
of toxic to nontoxic substances such as hydrogen sulfide
and cyanide into non toxic chemicals. This improves
the quality of blow down water which makes it acceptable
by fulfilling the norms set by the government for
waste water.
- Organoleptic
properties get better.
- Removal
of suspended solids.
2) air purification by:
Ozone concentrations of 1 to 3 parts per million are
used to inhibit the growth of molds and bacteria in
stored foods like egg, meat, vegetables and fruits.
This increases the shelf life of foods thus helping
to yield more profits.
USAGE OF OZONE IN WASTE WATER
/EFFLUENT TREATMENT
- For
reduction of Biological Oxygen Demand and Chemical
Oxygen Demand in waste water for eg. In effluent treatment
in textile industries etc.
- To
clean communal waste water for reuse as process water,
for irrigation or even for drinking purposes.
Ozone can break down industrial wastes like phenol and
cyanide so that they become biodegradable. It is often
utilized to oxidize mining wastes, wastes from the photographic
industry, and the oxidation of harmful compounds like
heavy metals, ethanol and acetic acid.
Ozone is also used to disinfect municipal wastewater,
and to clean up lakes and streams that have become polluted
by sewage and other pollutants. Unlike chlorine, ozone
can clean up a lake or stream without killing the resident
animal life nor leaving potentially harmful chemical
residues in the ecosystem.
USAGE OF OZONE IN SWIMMING
POOL WATER TREATMENT
- Improving
the color, odor, and taste and disinfecting the water.
This makes the water safe for humans also. Thus it
eliminates the use of harmful and costly chlorine
based chemicals thus eliminating recurring expenditure
in water treatment chemicals.
- Removal
of soluble Iron and Manganese by de-complexion of
organically bound heavy metals ( Mn, Fe etc.). Thus
it eliminates the use of Iron Removal plant and also
the usage of Water treatment chemicals for iron removal
is minimized which eliminates recurring expenditure.
- Conversion
of toxic to nontoxic substances such as hydrogen sulfide
and cyanide into non toxic chemicals. This improves
the quality of blow down water which makes it acceptable
by fulfilling the norms set by the government for
waste water.
- Organoleptic
properties get better.
- Removal
of suspended solids.
History
Ozone has also been used to purify the water in public
swimming pools since 1950.During the Olympic Games
held in Los Angeles during the summer of 1984, the
European teams insisted that the water in the swimming
pools be treated with ozone (as opposed to chlorine)
or they would not participate in the events.
USAGE OF OZONE IN FISH PROCESSING
INDUSTRY
Ozone is used in Aquaculture, Prawn and Shrimp farming.
The food industry uses Ozone to treat odors in fish
processing plants.
When brought in contact with air,water or any food items,
Ozone destroys all bacteria, viruses and cysts in a
very short duration. This prevents any kind of decay
caused by bacteria and will give a long shelf life.
Ozone is very unstable while reacting and decomposes
back to oxygen. This property of Ozone provides major
contribution towards a cleaner environment.
USAGE OF OZONE IN DAIRY INDUSTRY
The Diary industry uses Ozone to treat odors in processing
plants.
When brought in contact with air,water or any food items,
Ozone destroys all bacteria, viruses and cysts in a
very short duration. This prevents any kind of decay
caused by bacteria and will give a long shelf life.
Ozone is very unstable while reacting and decomposes
back to oxygen. This property of Ozone provides major
contribution towards a cleaner environment.
OZONE THERAPY IN HUMAN BEINGS
Ozone mixes in air to yield valuable oxygen.
In human beings increased oxygen consumption can
benefit.
DIGESTION - when the liver does not receive enough
oxygen, gastric juices are too diluted because it takes
calcium, water and oxygen to produce gastric juices.
When the digestion is poor, food is not assimilated
properly which encourages overeating because nourishment
is needed. Overweight people are always oxygen starved.
They need more oxygen to burn fuel (food) to produce
heat and to assist the body to eliminate wastes.
AGING - When there is a lack of oxygen the body
is unable to assimilate vitamin C properly. There is
a collagen breakdown, a lack of oxygen is why body organs
grow old, permitting arteries and veins to harden. It
is the primary cause of strokes and degeneration in
the brain.
EMOTIONAL and MENTAL UPSETS - People lacking
oxygen suffers mental and emotional upsets. They hold
grudges and feel anxiety. Memory declines and germ life
multiplies. Sociability requires oxygen, for when you
are oxygenated you are vivacious.
DIABETES - when there is too much sugar in the
blood the brain cannot get enough oxygen. Diabetes related
deaths are often caused by lack of oxygen. High blood
sugar starves the brain of oxygen.
"All mammalian tissues depend for their survival
and health on an adequate oxygen uptake and therefore
ozone would benefit every person through optimizing
tissue oxygeneration .
The therapeutic use of ozone has an excellent safety
record and no toxic effects have been observed from
clinical use. The benefits are predictable and without
side effects."
… Saul Pressman & Fritz Schellander, " The
Story of Ozone "

USAGE OF OZONE IN ODOR TREATMENT
Ozone is used to reduce odors in rendering plants, paper
mills, compost operations, underground railways, tunnels
and mines. The food industry uses minute amounts of
Ozone to treat odors in diaries, fish processing plants
and slaughterhouses.
USAGE OF OZONE IN SEWAGE TREATMENT
In the United States, over 100 Ozone Generators are
used by both Municipalities and Private Companies to
remove noxious odors from treating sewage. Sewage contains
high amounts of foul-smelling chemicals like sulphides,
amines and olefins. Ozone gas does not mask their odors;
it oxidizes these compounds and renders them odor free.
USAGE OF OZONE IN MUNICIPAL WATER
TREATMENT
Municipalities around the world uses Ozone to clean
communal waste water for reuse as process water for
irrigation or even for drinking purposes.
More than a hundred different viruses that are excreted
in human feces can be found incontaminated drinking
water. Viruses like those associated with hepatitis
infect thousands of people a year, and survive for a
long time in potable water. As a potent viruside, ozone
is seen as an effective alternative to chlorine, which
(in addition to leaving undesirable tastes and odor)
may yield chloroform and other compounds that are potentially
carcinogenic.
According to the Encyclopedia of Chemical technology
"Chlorination as it is practiced in potable water
treatment plants cannot adequately remove viruses to
an acceptable level. The complete control of viruses
by Ozone at low dosages is well documented.
As a potent oxidizer, Ozone kills bacteria by rupturing
the cell wall. Among the harmful
Microorganisms that Ozone can oxidize are Escherichia
Coli, Streptococcus fecalis, Mycobacterium tuberculosum,
Bacillus megatherium(spores), and Endamoeba hystolytica.
The Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology reports that:
"Ozone displays an all-or-nothing effect in terms
of destroying bacteria. This effect can be attributed
to the high oxidation potential of Ozone. Ozone is such
a strong germicide that only a few micrograms per liter
are required to measure germicidal action."
