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.

Global food scientists are now recommending the use of ozone which is being viewed and recognised as a promising food processing agent.

Ozone is increasingly accepted as an environment-friendly technology. The multi-functionality of ozone makes it a promising food processing agent. Excess ozone decomposes rapidly to produce oxygen and this leaves no residue in foods from its decomposition, according to Brijesh Tiwari, researcher, food and consumer technology, Manchester Metropolitan University and School of Food Science and Environmental Health, Dublin Institute of Technology.  Read more...

Ozone Solutions continues to improve on our line of ozone scrubbers for ozone removal.  Recently we announced the addition of the ODS-1H to our ozone destruct for water treatment line.  Today we are announcing an addition to our dry gas ozone scrubber line.

The ODS-1is a completely stainless steel ozone scrubber for use with dry gas streams.

The ODS-1 will filter ozone from dry gas streams up to 30 SCFH with 99.9% efficiency.  Due to the stainless steel construction ozone gas concentrations up to 10% by weight can safely be filtered with the ODS-1 ozone scrubber.  In the event the destruct media (carulate 200) requires replacement, the ODS-1 offers an easy method for carulite replacement.  Read more...

New research from UMass Amherst

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.

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...

Ozone use in Aquaculture

Ozone is increasingly used in aquaculture due to its numerous advantages over traditional water treatment methods. Supplementing or replacing an existing system, ozone implementation has the potential to boost the competitive advantage of your aquaculture application.

Ozone Advantages

• Reduced Water Usage
• Faster Growth Rates
• Reduction of Waterborne Diseases
• Higher Standard of Environmental Control
• Supplements other Treatment Processes

To take full advantage of ozone, you have to understand the basics. Click here to learn more.

Why Ozone Use is Growing in Aquaculture

• It effectively removes organics, pesticides, discoloration, and nitrates.
