Ozone Oxidation & Disinfection

Oxidation and disinfection without chemicals — clean, environmentally friendly, and with a low carbon footprint.

Overview

A disinfectant generated on site, from air

Ozone is generated on demand from oxygen in air or from an oxygen concentrator, which means there is no chemical to store, handle or transport. It is a powerful oxidant that destroys bacterial cell walls outright rather than merely inactivating the organism, and it reverts to oxygen after use, leaving no persistent residual in the treated water.

Beyond disinfection, ozone oxidises the compounds responsible for colour and odour, and contributes to reductions in BOD, ammonia and total nitrogen — which often makes it the deciding factor where a discharge consent is tight.

  • Achieves oxidation and disinfection without chemicals
  • 50% more powerful and 3,000× faster than chlorine disinfection
  • Ozone kills bacterial cells, rather than inactivating them
  • Removes odour and colour from water
  • Reduces BOD, ammonia and total nitrogen
  • FDA approved, clean and environmentally friendly with a low carbon footprint
