BioZone™ OZONE TECHNOLOGY
BioZone™ NanoWater Ozone Systems
Ozone is produced from electrical discharge, commonly referred to as a spark. Great deals of ozone are produced from lightening during a thunderstorm. This is one of the reasons you smell the “fresh” smell after a thunderstorm. Any electrical discharge, or spark will create ozone. The spark will split the oxygen molecule (O2) found in ambient air into elemental oxygen (O). These Oxygen atoms will quickly bind to another oxygen molecule (O2) to form ozone (O3).
NanoWater delivers oxidation, purification and disinfection equipment for the water and wastewater treatment industry by providing advanced solutions in aeration and mixing, biological processes, cloth media filtration, membranes, disinfection and process control.
BioZone™ NanoWater Ozone Generator
NanoWater utilizes two principal technologies used to generate ozone:
- UV
- corona discharge for commercial and industrial applications.
UV ozone generators utilize UV light at 185-nanometer wavelength that shine on feed gas (air or concentrated oxygen) flowing through a suitable tube chamber. In the stratosphere, high-energy UV radiation from the sun splits diatomic oxygen that results in ozone formation. Ozone generators based on UV radiation typically produce relatively small amounts of ozone at a very low concentration.

Ozone for Water & Air Purification
When used correctly, ozone is very effective for many applications, especially at high concentrations. It must be made on-site and used immediately. Ozone generators produce ozone first by compressing ambient air, then separating it and concentrating the oxygen. The oxygen runs through a high-voltage device, called a corona, essentially “lightning in a bottle.” The generator then “injects” the gaseous ozone into the water using negative pressure or a vacuum.
● Disinfection – Reduces bacteria and the inactivation of viruses and cysts.
● Oxidation of Inorganics – Precipitates iron, manganese, sulfides, nitrites, and organically bound heavy metals.
● Oxidation of Organics – Organics causing color, taste, and odor problems, reducing some detergents, phenols, VOCs, turbidity control, and micro flocculation of soluble organics
Ozone For Bottled Water
In the bottled water market, maintaining an optimum level of ozone at the filler is critical. If the ozone level is too high, plastic bottles may develop an aftertaste. If the level is too low, bacteria spores hidden in the water, inside the plastic walls or closure device could recover and easily contaminate the entire product.
The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) recommends that ozone be applied in the 1.0 to 2.0 milligram per liter (mg/L) range for a period of four to 10 minutes contact time to safely ensure disinfection. Application at this level helps maintain a 0.1 to 0.4 ppm residual ozone level at the time of bottling. This provides an additional safety factor because the bottles can be disinfected and sanitized while filling it with product.

Disinfection & Food Safety By BioOzone™
Food Processing with Ozone
- Ozone is the triatomic form of oxygen and is the most effective disinfection method. Ozone is 3000 times faster than 200 times more effective than chlorine as an oxidizing agent.
Because ozone is a safe, extremely powerful disinfectant and oxidizer, it is used to control the growth of unwanted organisms in food and food processing equipment. Ozone does not work by poisoning microorganisms like other chemicals used in food washing. Instead, it destroys these microorganisms by oxidation. As a result, a microorganism can’t form any oxidation resistance. - Bacteria reduction during processing will also extend shelf life
- Aqueous ozone is directly applied to the produce or meat
- Ozone can be used as an antimicrobial intervention in most all produce and meat applications.
- Water savings may provide system pay-back
- Less Chemicals= better flavor
- Ozone levels from 1.0-5.0 ppm re commonly used
- Rule of thumb – 2.0 ppm Ozone @30 psi
Fruit and Vegetable Storage.
- Ozone can be employed in cold storage of produce to guard against mold and bacteria at a very low concentration. It can not only destroy mold and bacteria in the air and on the surface of produce but also deodorize .
- Ozone is the strongest oxidant available for fruits and vegetables.
- Ozone kills bacteria and microbes 3000 times faster than chlorine.
- Washing of fruits and vegetables with ozone water reduces the initial total microbial load by 99.9%.
- Ozone increases the shelf life of food 2 times.
- Apple, pear, etc. When 2-11 ppm atmospheric ozone is applied to the fruits, these foods can be stored for 5 months.
Ozonated water treatments increased the shelf life of vegetables and fruits. Carrot, Cabbage, Lettuce, Apple, Orange, Grape, Chinese gooseberry, Japanese persimmon, Japanese radish, Cucumber, Spinach, Bean sprout, Parsley, Melon, Burdock, and Potato have been treated with 0.5–5.0mg/L ozonated water for a long time.
Disinfection & Food Safety By BioOzone™
Ozone in Cold Storage
Utilization of the properties makes ozone eminently suitable for increasing the storage life of perishable foods in refrigerated premises. Its application eliminates the risk of leaving the unpleasant odor or other traces of antiseptics used for preservation on food stuffs.
Practical operations for preservation start with the sterilization of air in such a way that air entering the storage room contains a sufficient amount of ozone to destroy microorganisms. At the same time, however, ozone decomposition to a significant extent is to be expected due to the high moisture content required, the walls of the storage room, the packaging materials, the absorption effect of the stored goods, and also to the oxidation reactions taking place.
During storage, ozone exerts a threefold effect by destroying the micro-organisms, oxidizing the odors and affecting the processes of metabolism.
Ozone’s primary action on molds is to suppress their growth and this effect can set in rapidly, particularly in the initial stage on a mold free surface. Afterwards this process leads to the destruction of cultures already formed. Ozone attacks immediately the easily accessible cells on the surface since ozone exerts a surface effect in the first place and has an only slight depth of penetration.
Ozonation applied for the storage of refrigerated meat destroys surface microorganisms, particularly the family of Pseudomonas responsible for spoilage.
NanoWater has a leading technology which is particularly suited for the food industry due to its ability to disinfect microorganisms without adding chemical by-products to the food being treated, food processing water, or atmosphere in which food is stored.
