Laboratory Ozone Systems for Research and Process Qualification

Product Description

Of the largest uses of ozone is in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, synthetic lubricants, and many other commercially useful organic compounds, where it is used to sever carbon-carbon bonds. It can also be used for bleaching substances and for killing microorganisms in air and water sources. Many municipal drinking water systems kill bacteria with ozone instead of the more common chlorine. Ozone has a very high oxidation potential. Ozone does not form organochlorine compounds, nor does it remain in the water after treatment. The Safe Drinking Water Act mandates that these systems introduce an amount of chlorine to maintain a minimum of 0.2 ppm residual free chlorine in the pipes, based on results of regular testing. Where electrical power is abundant, ozone is a cost-effective method of treating water, since it is produced on demand and does not require transportation and storage of hazardous chemicals. Once it has decayed, it leaves no taste or odor in drinking water.

Due to it's many commercial uses ozone is often researched by Universities, Technikons, Mining Companies, Chemical Companies, Pharmaceutical producers. This is the reason for the development of our laboratory type ozone system.

Industrial Uses of Ozone

1. Disinfect laundry in hospitals, food factories, care homes etc
2. Disinfect water in place of chlorine
3. Deodorize air and objects, such as after a fire. This process is extensively used in fabric restoration
4. Kill bacteria on food or on contact surfaces
5. Sanitize swimming pools and spas
6. Kill insects in stored grain
7. Scrub yeast and mold spores from the air in food processing plants
8. Wash fresh fruits and vegetables to kill yeast, mold and bacteria
9. Chemically attack contaminants in water (iron, arsenic, hydrogen sulfide, nitrites, and complex organics lumped together as "colour")
10. Provide an aid to flocculation (agglomeration of molecules, which aids in filtration, where the iron and arsenic are removed)
11. Manufacture chemical compounds via chemical synthesis
12. Clean and bleach fabrics (the former use is utilized in fabric restoration; the latter use is patented)
13. Assist in processing plastics to allow adhesion of inks
14. Age rubber samples to determine the useful life of a batch of rubber
15. Eradicate water borne parasites such as Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium in surface water treatment plants.
