The Ozmotics Insider

As a past customer of Ozone Solutions for water treatment products we wanted to make you aware of a recent improvement to the Dissolved Ozone Vacuvial test kit (K-7404) and Digital Dissolved Ozone Meter(I-2019), produced by CHEMetrics.  We believe that both of the updates will provide a great solution to your ozone monitoring needs.

The Dissolved Ozone Test Kit,K-7404, formerly known as the K-7402,  can now read high levels of ozone, up to 3 PPM.  This kit uses colorimetic tubes for easy ozone readings. This is a great all inclusive kit.

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

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.  Read more...

We recently updated our OSW-3 Ozone Injection System.  This is a small ozone injection system using an ozone generator with integrated air dryer.  This is a small and compact ozone injection system for use with water flows up to 10 GPM.  Following are the highlights of updates:

• Improved contact tank allows for water pressures up to 50 PSI
• New CM5 Grundfos Pump
• Smaller footprint
• Integrated water trap
• Provisions for all the same optional automation as our popular Waterzone series

The importance of maintaining a sterile and clean environment in the wine industry is immense. Cross contamination between batches of wine is a major concern and so is the management of the active yeast.

The yeast is a major ingredient in the fermentation process and without it the fermentation process would not occur. However, the Brettanomyces (a non-spore forming genus of yeast in the family Saccharomycetaceae) can contaminate the finished wine product and give it an undesired off-flavor.

While the Brettanomyces is a desired ingredient to some wines and according to some wine makers that rely on Brettanomyces to give their distinctive character (i.e. Château Musar), most wine producers see the Brettanomyces as a wine spoiler (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brettanomyces)  Read more...
