Recent incidents such as E. Coli and Salmonella outbreaks in the US and Canada have led to massive losses in the affected industries. Biotek's ozonated water does not only eliminate all viruses, bacteria and other microorganisms, but also eliminates odors (eg. seafood display) and decomposes pesticides and chemicals without affecting the taste of food.

Ozone has been protecting public health in drinking water and wastewater treatment for more than 100 years and has proven to be a safe and effective antimicrobial, sanitizer and disinfectant in numerous commercial and industrial applications. In 2001, the FDA approved the use of ozone treatment on food products because of the advancements in ozone generator technology and growing concerns over the safety of chemical disinfectants. Biotek has developed ozone technology to specifically meet the needs of today's Food Service.


The following issues led to the development of our state of the art Ozonated Water Systems:

  • Each day, millions of people become ill from foodborne diseases
  • Each year, thousands of people die from a preventable foodborne disease
  • Demand for effective disinfection in the Food Service
  • Ineffectiveness and drawbacks of chemical disinfectants
  • Need for an environmentally friendly disinfection solution toprofessionals
  • Demand for cost effective complete disinfection system
  • Chemical disinfectants leave harmful residues and by-products
  • Removal of pesticides and chemicals is critical in food processing
  • Microorganisms can build up a tolerance to chlorine based Disinfectants

With Biotek's Ozone Disinfection Systems your business can:

  • Ensure HACCP compliant operations
  • Limit liabilities and safety hazards
  • Ensure that the health of employees is not harmed by chemical disinfectants
  • Improve customer satisfaction by removing chemicals
  • Extend the shelf life and preserve the fresh appearance, color, and aroma of food
  • Turn tap water into a strong disinfectant that kills viruses and bacteria on contact
  • Save time and money by replacing chemicals that require regular purchase
  • Maintain an odorless, clean, and healthy working environment
