What Is, Why and Where to Use,
Ozone? |
|
What is Ozone?
Ozone (03)
is activated oxygen, nature's way of cleaning the air we
breathe. It occurs naturally in the environment. Oxygen (02)
generated by plant life is converted by ultraviolet radiation to ozone by
binding a third oxygen atom to the normal two to form 03.
Lightning also forms ozone during storms. The fresh sweet smell in the air
after a thunderstorm is the smell of ozone.
Ozone can be
created on demand with an ozone generator, which converts the oxygen
produced by our plant life, using the high-frequency corona
discharge principle, applied in all of Eco-Tec's Equipment,
to produce ozone just as lightning does during a thunderstorm. This
principle is the most powerful man-made discovery to create
activated oxygen or ozone, the Natural,
purifying, cleansing
medium.
Why man-made?
Man needs natural products as raw materials now to improve safety
and good health during manufacture and use of products on which he is
dependant for long-term survival. Ozone fits these criteria. Ozone is
generated on site and on demand to neutralise (oxidise) all substances
harmful to humans like micro-organisms, viruses, bacteria, fungi and kills
impurities and odours in the air and water. Ozone destruction
is a
non-selective process, which means that a given target cannot develop
immunity or resistance to Ozone, which is the case
with most antibiotics and medicines. When Ozone is used to clear the air
of bacteria or water of germs, no 'unhealthy for humans'
residues are left behind which is the case
with chemicals.
How
does it work?
Ozone lysis (disintegration of the cell wall) microbial cells. Ozone
attacks unsaturated carbon=carbon double bonds in organic compounds. The
cell membranes of many bacteria and algae are made up of lipids that
contain a variety of unsaturated acids. Ozone controls odours and
neutralises volatile organic compounds by breaking the chemical bonds
between odour producing compounds, through oxidation.
There is no
masking and disguising of the problem odour, chemical or virus/bacteria,
it is destroyed completely by biological breakdown of its structure.
Why ozone?
Being a gas, ozone reaches where conventional cleaners/disinfectants
cannot. Ozone destroys pollutants 3200 times faster than
traditional oxidants like chlorine with no harmful by-products,
since it reverts back to oxygen and carbon dioxide, both natural products.
Applications:
Ozone is an internationally used oxidant for the neutralisation of
bacteria, viruses, odours, bad tastes and odours in water, pollen and
tobacco smoke, moulds, mildew, mite faeces and chemicals in the air we
breathe or water we drink.

Ozone Properties
Molecular Formula: O³
Molecular Weight: 48
Colour: Light blue /colourless
Solubility in Water (@ 0°C): 0.64
Density: 2.144 g/l
Electrochemical Potential: 2.07 Volts
The Smell of Ozone
Ozone at low concentrations (0.01 - 0.04 PPM) leaves a fresh
and pleasant smell to a room.
Higher concentrations exhibit an “electrical” odour. This is typically
smelled after a strong lighting
or rainstorm.
Half Life
As soon as ozone is formed, it starts to decay to oxygen. The
half life is 2½ to 7 minutes
in most applications, depending on the ambient conditions. In cool, sterile
environments the
half life can extend to 60 minutes. Higher temperatures lead to shorter half
life.
Ozone Solubility
The solubility of ozone depends on the water temperature
and the ozone concentration in the gas phase:

Oxidation Reduction Potential:
CLICK HERE for more.
ORP is a term used frequently in the water treatment & food
processing industry. ORP stands for Oxidation-Reduction Potential. So what
is that? The best definition I can give is that “ORP is a measure of the
cleanliness of the water & its ability to break down contaminants”. It has a
range of -2,000 to + 2,000 and units are in “mV” (millivolts). Since ozone
is an oxidizer, we are only concerned with positive ORP levels (above 0 mV).
Ozone owes its excellent bactericidal, viricide, and sporicidal activities
to its powerful oxidizing properties. Ozone has an oxidation reduction
potential of +2.07 volts as compared to HOCL (the active form of Chlorine in
aqueous solution) which is +1.49 volts. It is reported to be 3000 times as
germicidal as chlorine. It retains this strong oxidizing capability in
aqueous solution, a property crucial for water disinfection and
sterilization, as well as in high humidity air applications.
ORP sensors work by measuring the dissolved oxygen. More contaminants in the
water result in less dissolved oxygen because the organics are consuming the
oxygen and therefore, the lower the ORP level. The higher the ORP level, the
more ability the water has to destroy foreign contaminants such as microbes,
or carbon based contaminants.
The chart below identifies ORP levels for various
applications:
ORP Level (mV) Application
0-150 No practical use
150-250 Aquaculture
250-350 Cooling Towers
400-475 Swimming pools
450-600 Spa Baths
600 Water Disinfection *
800 Water Sterilization **
* Disinfection is destruction of specific pathogenic microorganisms
** Sterilization is the destruction of all microbial life
How does an ORP Meter work?
CLICK HERE for more.
An ORP meter measures very small voltages generated with a
probe placed in ozonated water. The electrode is made of platinum or gold,
which reversibly looses its electrons to the oxidizer. A voltage is
generated which is compared to a silver (reference) electrode in a silver
salt solution, similar to a pH probe. The more oxidizer available, the
greater the voltage difference between the solutions.
Ozone compared to other gaseous
disinfectants:
CLICK HERE for more.
Gaseous disinfectants in common use are sulphur dioxide,
formaldehyde, and in certain applications, hydrocyanic acid. It has been
clearly demonstrated that ozone in equivalent concentrations exerts a much
stronger bactericidal effect than any of the foregoing disinfectants. To
obtain the same bactericidal effect concentration of 160 times the amount is
required for sulphur dioxide, 37 times the amount for formaldehyde, and 1.7
times the amount for hydrocyanic acid gas.
Some specific compounds oxidized by Ozone:
Ammonia
Phenolics
Detergents
Kill bacteria on food or on contact surfaces
Fulvic Acid
Tannic Acids (plant-originated acids)
Sulfides
Cyanides
Spores of Molds (very effective)
Amoebae (very effective)
2.4D
Arsenic
DDT
Dioxins
Cigarette smoke: A puff of
cigarette smoke contains 4 billion particles and more than 1500 compounds,
ranging from light, reactive gases (deadly carbon monoxide is one),
suspended chemical particulates and tars. Ozone destroys most of these
products and even “burns” the lighter tars in the air and converts them to
harmless carbon.
Haloforms: Strongly reduced by ozone. Large amounts of Aldehydes and
Keytones are produced as a byproduct. With a reaction time of 10 to1440
minutes, the concentration of Aldehydes will be 8.5 times larger at a dosage
of 1mg/l and 30.6 times larger at a dosage of 5 mg/l.
Perchlorate Biphenyls: With simultaneous
ultraviolet irradiation it is even possible to subject PCBs, the successors
of DDT, to oxidative decomposition.
Phenol
Trihalomethanes: toxic product of a chlorine,
algae reaction
Trichlorophenol: 1.0 mg/l reduces 500 microgram
Trichlorophenol and 5.0 mg/l reduces 2500 microgram
Effects on Bacteria and Viruses:
Bacteria are microscopically small, single-cell
creatures having a primitive structure. They take up foodstuffs and release
metabolic products, and multiply by division. The bacteria body is sealed by
a relatively solid-cell membrane. Their vital processes are controlled by a
complex enzymatic system. Ozone interferes with the metabolism of
bacterium-cells, most likely through inhibiting and blocking the operation
of the enzymatic control system. A sufficient amount of ozone breaks through
the cell membrane, and this leads to the destruction of the bacteria.
Viruses are small, independent particles, built of crystals and
macromolecules, Unlike bacteria, they multiply only within the host cell.
They transform protein of the host cell into proteins of their own. Ozone
destroys viruses by diffusing through the protein coat into the nucleic acid
core, resulting in damage of the viral RNA. At higher concentrations, ozone
destroys the capsid, or exterior protein shell by oxidation so DNA
(deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid) structures of the
microorganism are affected. In fact, DNA and RNA breakdown products could be
identified in this case.
Ozone can be used to detoxify cyanide wastes (for example
from gold and silver mining) by oxidizing cyanide to cyanate and eventually
to carbon dioxide.
Effects on Bacterial Aerosols:
Aerosols were produced by spraying bacterial suspensions at
20 lb/sq. in pressure and concentrations of bacteria were in the range of
50-500 viable organisms per liter of air. The killing effect of ozone was
determined by comparing the curves for decay with, and without, ozone. Ozone
concentrations ranged from 2.0 PPM (parts per million) down to 0.023 PPM.
Tests were performed on three organisms; Streptococcus salivarius,
Streptococcus 'C' and Staphylococcus albus. The role of humidity in the
action of ozone, particularly when the gas is at low concentration, was
apparent. At humidities less than 45%, ozone, even in high concentrations,
exerts no appreciable disinfecting action on bacteria. For humidities above
50%, however, ozone reduced the bacteria count. In fact, ozone as low as
(0.025 PPM showed definite bactericidal action at 60 to 80% humidity.
Bacteria that have settled on surface
Bacteria on surfaces constitute a potential infection danger
as a source of infection through redispersal in the air or contact with skin
or clothes. Tests were made to determine whether ozone has any disinfecting
action on deposited bacteria. Bacteria were sprayed on various surfaces:
agar in Petri dishes; Whatman filter paper; sterile glass Petri dishes and
wool cloth. These were placed in known conditions of humidity (range
60-85%), temperature and ozone concentration. After being exposed, the
bacteria were counted and compared with surfaces having bacteria not exposed
to ozone. Ozone in a concentration of 0.02 PPM in a moderately humid
atmosphere exercises a very definite killing effect against bacteria on
surfaces, but below this level it has little effect.
The kill depends on (a) the "depth" and type of surface; so moist agar,
Whatman #1 filter paper and wool cloth are more favorable to survival than
glass or #50 Whatman paper; (b) resistance to ozone of different types of
bacteria: Staphylococcus albus resistance is greater than Streptococcus
Salivarius, which in turn is greater than B.prodigiosus.
More Facts on Ozone as Virucide:
Ozone, in concentrations up to 0.04 PPM in humid atmospheres
exerts a disinfecting action on certain bacteria; streptococcus salivarius,
Streptococcus 'C', Staphylococcus albus and B. prodigiosus. Tests on E. coli
with up to 1 to 2 PPM in relatively dry air failed to destroy any organisms.
This confirms ozone is a poor disinfectant at low humiditys. However, at
humiditys above 60% tests confirmed pathogens can be destroyed by minute
amounts of ozone. Increasing the moisture content of the environment
favourably influences germicidal effect. This is brought about by swelling
of microbes making them more susceptible to destruction.
The effect of ozone below a certain critical concentration
value is small or zero. Above this level all pathogens are eventually
destroyed. This effect is called all-or-none response and the critical level
the "threshold value”.
There is a two-step process of inactivation or viruses. Period one lasts
less than 10 seconds, during which time a kill rate of about 99% is
achieved. Period two runs for several minutes to complete destruction. This
phenomenon is independent of changes in ozone concentration between 0.07 and
2.5 mg/l.
Ozone Applications
Odour Control:
CLICK HERE for more.
Ozone is unmatched as a deodorizer. Ozone has a strong
characteristic odor even at very low concentrations. Its effect on the
olfactory membrane makes it difficult or impossible to detect other odors
when ozone is present. In low concentrations (0.01-0.02 PPM), ozone acts is
a masking agent on most odors. Tests have demonstrated that room odors were
undetectable even when ozone concentrations were less than 0.01 PPM.
Some very delicate odors are destroyed even at these low concentrations.
However, to totally eliminate "heavy" odors higher concentrations of ozone
are required to react with gases in the air and odors trapped in materials.
Time to deodorize is determined by the quantity of the substance producing
odor and the quantity of ozone available to react with it.
Ozone at a concentration of 0.1 PPM will destroy micro-organisms and
eliminate most odors within 48 hours.
Odoriferous substances are susceptible to oxidation, but the addition or
oxygen to a substance (oxidation) dues not always render it safe. For
example, oxidation of allyl alcohol yields aldehyde acrolein, a very deadly
gas. Safety considerations apply only to definite industrial odors and do
not include animal wastes or putrefactive gases of animal or vegetable
tissue. Putrefaction produces highly odorous substances such as amino,
aromatic and fatty acids, indole, skatole, cresol. said also the
alkaloid-like ptomaines, such as tetramethylene-diamine and
pentamethylene-diamene, etc. The effect of ozone on these substances is that
of combustion; i.e., the find products of the hydrocarbons being CO2 and
water and those containing nitrogen, nitrogen pentoxide.
Where putrefaction occurs - the air from sewers, etc. - while highly
odoriferous, contains but traces of these substances. The odors are easily
and completely destroyed by ozone. Ozone has been used in San Francisco to
deodorize a sewage pumping station when the pump screens had to be cleaned.
A rat died in a wall of an office building and the odor penetrated several
offices. The application of ozone completely destroyed the odor.
Single atoms of oxygen from the decomposition of ozone immediately oxidize
odors. The lower the temperature and the larger the odor molecules, the
weaker the oxidizing effect. Humidity lists no effect on this process, but
does accelerate destruction of bacteria, viruses and fungi that may
contribute to odor.
Sterilizing:
Ozone at ambient temperatures is the only substance which
can be used as a total sterilizing agent and a substitute for high
temperature. Pyrogens, byproducts of microbial growth that are toxic to
humans, are not eliminated after normal autoclaving or dry heat
sterilization. Pyrogens adhere firmly to surfaces of containers and are
removed only after heating at very high temperatures for extended periods of
time. Because pyrogenic material is a lipopolysaccharide, the unsaturated
double bonds are easily oxidized by ozone. Therefore, ozone has a distinct
advantage over other depyrogenation methods.
Use in Air Conditioning:
CLICK HERE for more.
Moulds in ducts, filters and other parts of ventilating equipment, in
basements and other damp places produce objectionable odors. In low
concentrations ozone masks odors, giving a freshness to the air normally
absent in recirculated air. Also with time and the right humidity
conditions, ozone destroys bacteria and mold. Where possible, ozone should
be introduced in sufficient quantity to mix with all the air when the
building is unoccupied. With recirculation, this will build up a
concentration sufficient not only to deodorize the air but thoroughly
disinfect and sterilize the entire building and HVAC equipment. This will
result in the reduction of molds, bacteria and decomposing organic material
in the duct work and parts of the equipment that are inaccessible. This work
should be completed and the ozone reduced to acceptable levels before the
building is occupied again.
Effect of ozone on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus - W.J.
Kowalski. Penn State University: Controlled levels of ozone are used in
Europe in air conditioning systems to deodorize and freshen air in theatres,
shopping malls, offices, etc. Demand for make-up air is reduced as the
recycle system furnishes air of sufficient purity. Body odours, cigarette
smoke mid various unpleasant smells are removed. These gases are mostly
hydrocarbons, together with hydrogen sulfide and are rapidly destroyed by
ozone.
Our body automatically controls respiration. When air contains even minute
and practically imperceptible quantities of disagreeable odors we
involuntarily shorten out breathing. Even though rate of respiration may
increase under such conditions, the total volume of oxygen taken into our
lungs is reduced. This results in a mild form of autointoxication as wastes
increase in the blood, and we feel lethargic and tired. In 1919, the first
ozone machine was installed in the air duct of the O'Fallon School (St.
Louis). The effects were so positive that ozonators were installed in
thirteen old schools and three new ones. Teachers and administrators noted
an improvement in the health of the children and a reduction in the number
of colds.
The St. Louis Hygiene Department kept a record or all absences on account of
illness, the nature of the disease and time lost. Two tests were conducted,
one in the morning without ozone and one in the afternoon with ozone.
Physicians from the Hygiene Department exposed agar dishes and delivered
them to the City Bacteriologist for incubation and count. The afternoon test
with ozone averaged half the bacteria count of the morning test when no
ozone was used. Another test was conducted with 65% recirculated air.
Recirculated air with ozone gave 36% less bacteria than 100% fresh air
without ozone. Odours were entirely absent in the recirculated air test.

"Exposure to ozone reduces influenza disease severity and
alters distribution of influenza viral antigens in murine lungs."
This study was undertaken to assess the effects of exposure to ozone on the
course of influenza virus infection. Mice were exposed to ozone or filtered
air, or both, with aerosolized infection by influenza virus. It was found
that animals exposed to ozone during infection showed a reduced severity of
disease measured by decreased mortality and delayed time of death.
Ammonia, and to some degree hydrogen sulfide, affect pig performance
directly (by altering metabolic reactions) and indirectly (by influencing
pig health). Atmospheric ammonia was particularly damaging to young pigs
infected with Ascaris suum. Ozone reduces harmful ammonia and hydrogen
sulfide. Ozone converts ammonia (NH3) to harmless nitrogen and water vapor.
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is broken down into water and sulphur dioxide, also a
powerful disinfectant

It has been documented that many a body part has been spared amputation
through the application of ozone in this method.
Major Autohemotherapy:
This procedure is performed only by trained professionals,
usually only in a clinic setting. Approximately 200cc of the patients blood
is withdrawn into an evacuated bottle. The bottle is then hung upside down,
and ozone gas (the same volume as the blood withdrawn) is infused into the
bottle, usually at a concentration of 40ug/ml. The blood is then given back
to the patient, much like a transfusion.
Major Autohemotherapy is the preferred method of many practitioners, and it
is used in well over 150 diseases. In Germany, even the ambulances are
equipped with ozone generators; if ozone is administered within 24 hours of
a stroke, 95% of patients suffer no permanent paralysis.

This appears to be the only way to stabilize ozone without adding artificial
stabilizers, chemicals, or preservatives. Ozone is bubbled at very high
concentrations, under a controlled environment for days until it slowly
begins to solidify. This solid form of olive oil forms a Vaseline or salve
like substance and will keep for many months on the shelf. If kept
refrigerated, it maintains its full effectiveness almost indefinitely.
Some individuals even choose to ingest ozonated olive oil in order to obtain
the system wide effects of using ozone medically.
Use in Product and Fresh Produce Storage:
CLICK HERE for more.
Ozone has been used in food preservation since 1909. Storage
places, warehouses & refrigerated lockers can be disinfected. High humidity
in the environment favorably influences germicidal effect. Ozone
decomposition is accelerated due to high moisture content, the walls of the
storage room, the packaging materials, the absorption effect of the stored
goods, and also the oxidation reactions taking place. The ozone generator
must have sufficient capacity to maintain ozone at the required level. A
strong air movement is required to assure optimum distribution of ozone. The
storage space need not be air tight as long as the capacity of the ozone
generator is sufficient to replenish the ozone lost through air exchange.
The prerequisite in the control of microorganisms is the maintenance of
clean environment. The microbial population of the product and the storage
environment determine the storage life of the product. When a food product
is exposed to contamination during preparation, handling or storage, large
numbers of microorganisms are introduced into the product. In food,
micro-organism find a favorable habitat for growth and each new generation
of bacteria means a doubling of the population. The result is a breakdown of
the food product evidenced by objectionable physical appearance, taste and
odor.
There is no compound that can be applied to a dirty surface to destroy all
microorganisms. To demonstrate, a good sanitizer was applied liberally to a
ditty wail in a food handling plant. This wall had a bacterial population of
28,000,000 organisms on a two-inch square. Five minutes after treatment the
wall still had a bacteria count of 11,000,000. Although the contamination
had been reduced, the wall was still heavily contaminated A food product
entering this storage room had a relatively low surface bacteria count, but
in 48 hours the product had a count of 150,000 in a two-inch square. Air
examination showed an extremely high bacteria count. Even though
multiplication of bacteria might be slowed by low temperature, the product
was acquiring high count that would reduce its shelf-life after it left the
storage room. If kept for a longer period in storage, its storage life would
be considerably shorter than if stored in a room relatively free of
contamination.
Fish Storage:
Freshly caught fish can be stored longer if washed in water containing
ozone. If it is packed in ice made from water containing ozone. ozonated
water frozen and used as packing as shaved ice has a significant increase in
storage life. Freshness greatly extended.
Control of surface Microflora:
In a refrigerated atmosphere with ozone, the growth of the
surface microflora (pseudomonas families, spores, Salmonellae and
staphylococci) is eliminated or retarded.
Forequarters of beef with relatively equal bacteria counts were tested, one
in the ozone-treated refrigerator at a concentration of approximately 0.1
PPM of ozone and 60-deg F, and the other under similar conditions except for
the lack of ozone. At the end of the test period, the ozone-treated beef had
about the same count as at the start, but the untreated beef showed an
increase of 600 percent.
Ozone used in beef storage is most efficient if the meat surface has around
60% moisture content.
Beef stored in a cooler under an ozone concentration of 0.04 PPM at 2-deg C,
experiences 0.9 to 1.0 percent less shrinkage in three days and 17 percent
less in 7 days. Trim loss is reduced by 2.6 to 5.5 percent. This is less
shrinkage and trim loss than meat stored under identical conditions but
without ozone usage.
The storage life of beef a refrigerated state can be increased by 30 to 40
percent if the beef is kept in an atmosphere of 7.7 to 15 PPM. and the
microbial saturation of its surface is not greater than 1000 bacteria per
square cm.
