Ozone Sanitizer Is The Most Effective

By Sally Delacruz


Since 1900, people have been using ozone for treating water including disinfection of water supplies, spas, cooling towers, sewage treatment plants and swimming pools. Due to advancement in technology, it is now been used for sanitization. Ozone sanitizer is being used in various manufacturing industries. It is being used in food stuff industries for sanitizing irrigation waters, raw materials, storage facilities, packaging materials and water meant for recycling.

Before 1997 ozone was only used like a purifier mainly in drinking water. However as technology is developing new discovery is being made. One of the latest discovery is the gas can be an effective safe sanitizer. In 1997 May there was a conference by scientists. The agenda of the meeting was to compile results of various studies and determine how safe the gas was for certain processes. The outcome of the meeting was an agreement that it can even be used in food processing. Since then a big number of wine industries are now using the product. Current trends indicate that more companies are now using the gas for barrel cleaning, cleaning water systems, tank cleaning and sanitation and general surface cleaning.

Companies and food industries are quickly accepting the component and even using. Some of these processes include meat processing facilities, fresh cut processing and food storing facilities. In these industries, ozone structures are fixed permanently while others fit them temporary. They are placed in such a manner that they can be easily monitored.

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.

Scientists are still researching and come up with new discoveries every day. Recently a study was carried out in a laboratory in California at the University of Polytechnic State. The aim of the study was to evaluate effectiveness of the gas in sanitizing the environment. The location of the tests was vegetable and fruit pilot plant in Nutrition and Food Science Department. DEL Industries model surface sanitizer was used as the ozone system.

There were various observations that were made from the experiment. It was deducted that spraying is the best form in which the gas can be applied. The experiment showed that the most effective means of environmental sanitization is spraying.

The greatest advantage of the gas is it has ability to oxidize all microbes in solution. Once a surface s pray-washed, the microorganisms that are lifted from the surface are killed as they try to find their way into the drain. It should be noted when the spray is used continuously or on daily bases the microorganisms will be terminated significantly in all locations that are exposed to the spray.

The gas has been rated as the best chemical for sanitization. It has many distinct advantages from other chemical. Most importantly it is does not necessitate any special storage, handling and mixing procedures. A few view the fact that the gas does not have residue as a disadvantage. However there chemicals other leave behind residue after use.
