Application of ozone in infection control and PreventionA successful infection control program can not only help reduce mortality and incidence rate of medical institutions, but also be very cost-effective for medical institutions. Given that one third of hospital infections are preventable, prevent

How does ozonation work?Ozone is injected into water to disinfect water and is used as a disinfectant in various applications and industries. In the process of ozonation, ozone directly attacks the surface of microorganisms and destroys their cell walls, because it is a highly active oxidant. When o

Comparison of ozone disinfectantsOzone is a very effective disinfectant. The CT values (concentration * time) of various disinfectants were compared in Table 1.Although chlorine is very suitable for inactivation of bacteria and fungi, it cannot be used to inactivate protozoa.Table 2 shows the disi

Understand ozone water cleaning technologyOn-site generation technology is a relatively new commercial clean industry. It's a way to produce cleaning and sterilizing solutions on-site and on-demand, rather than taking the traditional route of ordering from distributors or buying products in stores.

What is ozone water cleaning?Different manufacturers have introduced ozone water cleaning systems. However, many people are not very clear about what ozone water cleaning is about. Here are some of the most common questions about ozone water.What is it?Ozone water is a powerful oxidant that has prov

Ozone water disinfectionAlthough chlorine and ultraviolet are the standard means of disinfecting water, ozone is also effective in killing bacteria. So far, ozone is only used as an oxidant in water treatment of large factories. Now, however, Deposon is developing a small ozone generator for smaller

A major tomato processing plant in Ohio has adopted an ozone disinfection system to improve the overall efficiency and cleanliness of the plant. This plant replaces the traditional biological fungicide, which can only slow down the growth of bacteria, and needs to be cleaned regularly. Ozone based sanitary treatment can effectively prevent microorganisms, keep the factory clean for a longer time, and significantly reduce the downtime required for sanitary treatment.

Ozone disinfection is more labor-saving, water-saving and time-saving than traditional methods. Because ozone is more stable and effective at lower temperatures, ozone water can be used at lower temperatures and effectively replace hot water and chemical treatment. Typical ambient water temperature is the ideal condition for ozone disinfection. The net effect is significant energy savings and a smaller carbon footprint. For example, the ozone pilot study discussed earlier estimated that nearly $80000 of energy was saved each year.

As a kind of sanitary and disinfectant, ozone has many economic and environmental benefits. The production and application cost is low, safe and reliable. It has good ability to degrade total organic carbon, microorganism and endotoxin. Ozone is also environmentally friendly, eliminating the risk of residual chemicals. Ozone can replace chlorine, hot water and steam. This, in turn, reduces the consumption of chemicals and water and eliminates the energy required to produce hot water and steam.

Ozone has advantages in water disinfectionThe use of ozone for water disinfection is more advantageous than more traditional methods such as chlorine disinfection or ultraviolet disinfection. First of all, ozone is more effective than any other disinfection treatment in inactivating fungi and bact
