Although Ozone has long been recognized as one of the world's most
powerful and effective disinfectants, the requirement for ozone
to be generated at the point-of-use has limited its application.
Biotek's ozone generation system enable
ozone to be used more effective in a range of applications because
of the following features:
- Compact size
- Low Noise
- Tap water is the only required input
- Generates High concentration ozonated water
With Biotek's point-of-use products ozone can now be
used in a much larger range of applications with greater cost effectiveness.

Conventional ways of disinfection:
- Ultraviolet Radiation
uses short wave UV wavelengths known as "germicidal UV".
These wavelengths are effective for breaking molecular bonds inside
microbial DNA, preventing any ability for the microbe to reproduce.
Caution must be exercised as different bacteria are sensitive
to varying bands of radiation treatments, therefore some treatment
bands may not kill all bacteria present. UV treatments use direct
line of sight for treatment, therefore if dust and particles are
present in the water, disinfection by UV is less effective. UV
treatment leaves no residual disinfection properties, such as
chlorine or ozone.
- Chemical,
using toxic chemicals capable of killing bacteria in order to
achieve disinfection. This method however also releases byproducts
from residual levels of the chemical. In order to prevent microbial
resistance by mutation, it is necessary to vary chemical treatments.
It is recommended that the environment be regularly checked to
indicate if residual chemical levels have become dangerously high.
Finally, for many applications in the food industry the residual
taste left by chemical treatment has greatly increased the demand
for a cleaner method of disinfection.
- Heat disinfection
methods, such as dry heat and water boiling, may be used to achieve
disinfection. Energy consumption is a key disadvantage of this
method of disinfection. Furthermore the hazards of very hot temperatures
in the work place increase liability risks for businesses.
Ozone disinfection:
Ozone is nature's three-molecule
solution for safer, more effective sanitation. Ozone has been used
for disinfection since 1905.
- The compound only lasts for an estimated 30 minutes
at ground level before reverting back to a stable form as oxygen
(02). Today ozone is used? throughout many industries (by companies
such as Coca-Cola and Intel) for its powerful disinfection and
sanitation properties and for oxidation of pesticides, viruses,
fungal spores, bacteria, microorganisms, and harmful chemicals.
The compound is considered to be significantly safer than chemical
treatment since the only byproduct is Oxygen.
- Ozone is a very powerful oxidant and hence a very
potent disinfectant. It is over 3000 times more powerful than
chlorine in its disinfectant property and over 50 times more powerful
in its oxidative property.
- It kills Viruses, Bacteria and other Toxins; decomposes
detergents and pesticides residues on fruits and vegetables and
removes all color, odor and taste from water.
- While undergoing reaction, ozone reverts to oxygen,
which makes it one of the most environment friendly disinfection
methods available.
- Ozone is very safe, in over 100 years of use, there
has been never been a fatal accident.
