Description
Pacific Water Technology supplies turnkey equipment package solution for a whole host of applications utilising complete integrated ozone solutions including air-cooled corona discharge ozone technology that reduces water and energy use.
We also manufacture and supply integrated ozone/oxygen packages that incorporate dissolution into aqeueous solutions. The control equipment also includes prcoess monitoring of the dissolved ozone in the water, as well as enviromental monitoring of gaseous ozone in the atmosphere. We supply equipment packages designed for the food industry in various applications. Ozone is at least 10x stronger as a disinfectant as chlorine, Chlorine reacts with meat forming highly toxic and carcinogenic compounds called THMs or tri-halomethanes, psoing a danger to workers in the processing plant , and rasing some concerns about the safety of the food . THMs were also implicated as carcinogens related to kidney, bladder, and colon cancers. Chlorine also results in the production of chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and chloromethane besides THMs. On the other hand, ozone does not leave any trace of Some of the applications are listed below. |

Food IndustryThe use of ozone sanitation in the Food Industry offers many advantages to the beverage and food industries. Ozone is an environmentally friendly disinfectant that leaves no residual or by-products after the disinfecting process. Ozone is also a safe sanitizer with no need for chemical storage, handling, or related safety issues. The use of ozone may eliminate the need of some hot water cycles, reducing the amount of water used, and the energy costs associated with hot water. These costs savings in conjunction with chemical savings have made ozone a cost saving measure in some applications. Ozone has been used extensively in the beverage industry for disinfection of the product, bottles, and fillers. The use of ozone in this industry has been widespread since the FDA gave ozone GRAS approval in November 1892 (21 CFR 184.1563). The use of ozone as a surface sanitizer, and for direct contact with food, has also grown more recently. In 2001, ozone was given a GRAS approval for direct contact with all meat and poultry products (FSIS Directive 7120.1). Some of the examples of ozone applications are listed below;

Aquaculture IndustryOzone is increasingly used in aquaculture due to its numerous advantages over traditional water treatment methods. Supplementing or replacing an existing system, ozone implementation has the potential to boost the competitive advantage of your aquaculture application.

Recirculating Aquaculture Systems(RAS)Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) provide potential advantages over pond or cage-based forms of aquaculture. These include flexibility in site selection, reduced water usage, lower effluent volumes, better environmental control, and higher intensity of production. However, as stock densities and levels of water re-use increase, wastes accumulate rapidly and environmental control becomes more difficult. Sophisticated systems capable of removing both particulate and dissolved organic wastes become necessary. An increasingly popular method of removal is to breakdown these organic wastes using an oxidising agent, such as ozone. Ozone is also widely used to sterilise supply and effluent water for RAS to remove pathogens.

Waste Water DisinfectionThe use of ozone for wastewater disinfection has been growing in popularity due to strict regulations on fecal coliform and other pathogens.Ozone is a green solution to wastewater disinfection. Ozone is produced on site and is all natural, formed from only oxygen. No by-products or waste products are formed in the creation of ozone. Benefits of ozone:

Drinking Water TreatmentThere are a number of applications including :
For bottling applications the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) suggests a residual ozone level of 0.2 to 0.4 ppm. This provides disinfection to both the water and the bottle. |
