How ozone is used in the Milling Industry

Ozone use in Milling Applications

The use of ozone in milling application has grown substantially since 1997 when ozone was first allowed in food processing applications. There are many areas of use for ozone in the milling industries and as research continues new uses will surely follow.

Overview of ozone use in milling applications

New Laboratory Ozone Generator

Ozone Solutions has recently added a new ozone generator to our product line. The NANO Ozone Generator is manufactured by Absolute Ozone and is perfectly suited for lab applications where high concentrations of ozone are required.

Lab ozone generator

The NANO Ozone Generator can produce ozone concentrations greater than 9% by weight from oxygen at flow rates of less than 1 LPM.  When lab tests are performed on a small scale it is imperative to have ozone generated at the concentrations possible.  Ozone solubility is dependent upon ozone concentration, this makes high concentrations of ozone extremely beneficial in any application.

New Ozone Monitor Video – GAXT-G-DL Ozone Monitor

A fairly new ozone monitor to our website is the Honeywell GAXT-D-DL Ozone Monitor, or better known as “The GAXT”.  We have found this to be a great handheld Ozone Monitor for daily safety use and spot checking of ozone levels.  Watch video below:

New Ozone Application List

There are many practical uses for ozone in the world today. While no one ozone company can be experts at every ozone application we can try to provide useful information on many applications, and possibly point visitors in a direction to find the information they are looking for.

Ozone Solutions continues to add new information about ozone application to our website. Recently we added pages on Iron & Manganese Removal with ozone, Ozone Water Treatment, and E.coli O157:H7 Reduction with Ozone. We also added a new list of applications with links to external sites with more information on these applications. See HERE.

How is ozone used for water treatment?

Ozone is dissolved into water to create aqueous ozone for many applications. This page is a general overview of the methods and devices to dissolve ozone into water, along with a few helpful tips for the novice ozone user.

Aqueous ozone applications:

  • Bottled Water
  • Drinking water disinfection
  • Drinking water taste and odor removal
  • Wastewater
    • Disinfection
    • Improved sludge control
    • Odor control
    • Color removal
  • Surface sanitation
  • Food processing direct contact
  • Clean In Place (CIP)
  • Wet scrubbers
  • Groundwater remediation
  • Landry
  • Cooling tower
  • Aquaculture/Aquariums
  • Horticulture

Updated Ozone Properties Data

A popular page on the Ozone Solutions webpage is the ozone properties page.  Recently the Ozone Solubility chart on this page was expanded.  The chart below shows what we now have on our website.  This data replaces the old chart with only 9 data points that were a little more difficult to understand due to the units used.

This new chart shows the huge difference in ozone solubility based on water temperature and ozone concentration.  This data is very helpful when designing a new ozone water treatment system, or troubleshooting existing ozone systems.  This data shows that if your water temperature increases the resulting dissolved ozone level may change dramatically.  Or, if ozone is generated at only a slightly lower concentration dissolved ozone levels will be dramatically lower.

New ozone detector video – S-100 Aeroqual Ozone Detector

One more ozone detector video has been added to the Ozone Solutions YouTube Page.  Watch video below.  This video is all about the S-100 Ozone detector manufactured by Aeroqual.

How does Ozone Reduce E.coli O157:H7

E.coli o157:H7 reduction with ozone

Bacteria is not the most common topic for discussion around workplace water coolers. However, in recent years, a specific strain of bacteria has garnered a fair amount of press and discussion. The bacterium strain E.coli O157:H7 has become so popular in the media that most people have a healthy fear of this bacteria.

Lettuce recall over listeria contamination

Large recall of lettuce from a California farm was issued recently.  This recall covers 19 states and Canada.  This is the latest recall over listeria contamination of fruits and vegetables.  Also recently a recall of cantaloupe has cased deaths in the united states.

Read more about this latest lettuce recal here.

The use of ozone for bacteria reduction on fruits and vegetables is gaining popularity due to the ease of application and the non selective nature of ozone when used as an anti-microbial intervention.  While it is difficult to know if ozone would have had a role in these applications, it is worth considering the implementation of ozone in food processing application before the recall steps are necessary.

Ozone Monitor Selections

Ozone Solutions sells a wide variety of ozone monitors.  How do you choose what ozone monitor is right for you?  Watching our videos will help.
