Ozone Sanitizer Is The Most Effective

By Sally Delacruz


People have used ozone for various purposes since 1900. In the past it was only used for water treatment such as disinfection of sewage treatment plants, swimming pools, water systems, cooling towers and spas. However as technology as advanced over the years it is now being used for sanitization. Today ozone sanitizer is used in manufacturing processes and industries. It is used in food industries such as sanitization of raw materials, packaging materials, recycled water and irrigation water.

Before 1997 it was only used as a purifier in packed drinking water in various nations such as U. S. Over the years more discoveries have been made one of them being that gas is a safe sanitizer. In 1997 May a conference was held by experts in USA and the result was an agreement that the gas is safe for use in food processing. Since the conference was held, a big number of wineries have started using the product. Recent research has indicated that a greater number of companies are accepting it is efficient for general surface sanitation, tank cleaning and sanitation, cleaning place systems and barrel cleaning.

Increased trend of acceptance and use has been evident in other industries. Some of these industries include: meat processing facilities, produce storage facilities, fresh cut product processing and like stated above it has found its way in beverage industry and bottled water. In most of these industries ozone systems are fixed in place or permanently mounted. This feature makes ozone monitoring and management of all off-gas relatively easy hence ensuring safety.

Industries are keen to ensure that they use the component in a safe manner. The gas systems are fixed temporary in winery industries. These systems are moved from time to time and have a number of operators in different locations. This kind of arrangement helps ensure safety and management is easy. The system is fitted in a manner that it is easy to operate and monitor making it reliable.

New research is made every day. The most recent was a study done in California in a laboratory at Polytechnic State University. The main agenda of the research was to determine the efficiency the gas when used to sanitize the environment. The tests were located in a vegetable and fruit plant. Model surface sanitizer for DEL industries was used as an ozone system

There were several conclusions that were drawn from the results. It was observed that spray wash is the most effective form of application in eliminating microorganisms. The main conclusion was that the gas is effective in environmental sanitization. However the efficiency of the gas depends on the form in which the gas is sprayed.

The gas has the advantage of oxidizing microbes in solution. When a surface is spray-washed the microbes that are removed from the surface get killed as they escape through the drain. When the spray is used daily or continuously the microbes are eliminated completely in every place that is spray-washed.

Ozone is known as the most effective sanitizer among other chemicals. It has various advantages that make it outstanding among others. To begin with the component does not need any special handling, storage system or specific mixing considerations. Some people view the fact it does not consent residue as a disadvantage. In cases where residue is desired one should go for alternative chemicals that can leave the effect.
