Our ozonated water systems utilise Ozone based advanced oxidation processes (AOP) to deliver the fastest and most effective biocidal kill available on all contact surfaces, without the need for harsh chemicals.
Ozonated water can be used to wash down food contact surfaces and equipment and by applying the highly potent biocide instantly kills microorganisms. Ozonated water is highly effective against all common microorganisms found in the food factory environment (Listeria, Pseudomonas, E.coli, Salmonella, Coliforms, Yeast and Moulds). Despite its highly effective killing potential against microorganisms, ozonated water creates no risk to humans and is not classed by the HSE as a substance hazardous to health. It leaves no taint or chemical residue.
Passing BS EN 1276: 2009 (Bactericidal Test), BS EN 1650: 1997 (Fungicidal Test) and TES-S-004 (Sensory/Taste Test)
• Superior bacterial kill
• Effective against biofilm
• Reduced operating costs & time
• Safe to use – easy operation
• Removes odours, taste and colourings
• No storage or handling required
• Reduced effluent and chemical disposal
SOS Open Plant Disinfection and CIP systems use ozonated water for permanent or semi-permanent installations with a range of machines to suit various flow requirements from on-demand, too moderate, to high flow and even continuous flow (recirculated) systems. The challenge that SOS systems overcome is to generate sufficient ozonated water to meet the high flow rates demanded by today’s fast moving, high intensity food and beverage processing applications. SOS Ozone Open Plant Cleaning and CIP systems economically generate ozone for disinfecting beverage, dairy, and related food contact equipment.
The superiority of the automated ozone CIP systems is demonstrated in four main areas;
1. Faster disinfection due to high oxidation power of ozone v’s peracetic acid; hydrogen peroxide; hypochlorite
2. Shorter cycle times, no harmful chemicals or need to rinse
3. Reduced operating costs – no final rinse, less water, energy and time
4. Repeatable and reliable non-chemical treatments, no MRLs & improved effluent
SOS offer compact off the shelf and bespoke ozonated water systems. The applications include open plant disinfection systems, CIP systems, ring mains, tray wash disinfection and high to low care tunnel disinfection. Ozonated water can also be used as a replacement for chlorine for produce washing. (EC Statutory MRLs set under EC Regulation 396/2005EC for chlorate; default set at 0.01mg/kg, in combination with any of the food and feed commodities listed).
• Destroys bacteria on food and protects at all stages from farm to fork.
• Ozone is effective on all orientations and destroys pathogens in areas where traditional disinfectants are unable to reach.
• Ozone is effective in dry (Gas phase) and wet (Aqueous phase) environments.
• Ozone is not subject to Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs).
• Ozone reduces the need for harsh chemicals, the handling and storage of chemicals and removes the consumable cost of chemicals.
• Ozone can help reduce product fails and recalls, which mitigates the risk of damage to the company brand and reputation.
