What is Ozone?

  • Ozone is a highly reactive and unstable form of oxygen.Ozone is made up of three oxygen atoms together, written as O3. It is called activated tri-atomic oxygen. It is a gas and is denser than air. Ozone is the second most powerful sterilizer in the world and its function is to destroy bacteria, viruses and odors. Ozone is nature's way of purifying the air we breathe. Ozone derives from the Greek word ozein, which means to smell. If natural ozone ceased to exist, life on this planet would also cease to exist.

How is Ozone Produced?

  • Ozone is naturally generated when oxygen in the atmosphere is subjected to high-voltage electrical discharge. During lightning strikes, the intense electrical energy breaks oxygen molecules apart, allowing them to recombine and form ozone (O₃). This natural phenomenon is responsible for the fresh, distinctive smell often noticed after a thunderstorm.

Where is Ozone Used?

  • Ozone is used for disinfection, killing bacteria, color removal and it also works as an Oxidizing Agent

Common Organisms killed by Ozone?

  • Bacteria, Fungus, Mold Spores, Protozoa, Fungal Pathogens, Viruses, Yeasts, Cysts & Alage.
