what is aqueous ozone

Protective Environmental Systems, LLC. (PES) has added both Tri-atomic aqueous ozone  and Tri-Atomic air ozone systems to our SHIELD that will help protect all brands. 

PES has partnered with CleanCore and TetraClean (Now merged into one company) to introduce a 100% biodegradable cleaning and disinfection system with patented technology that is made right here in the United States. 

These systems offer a safe biodegradable aqueous solution.  These systems generate a safe and consistent level of aqueous ozone that is needed to meet the demand for high level cleaning and disinfection.  Starting with a biofilm free surface is the best way to remove bacteria and viruses! These systems offer deep cleaning in any facility at a fraction of the price of caustic chemicals.  

At the same time, keeps your family, employees, customers, pets and livestock safer!

These oxygen powered systems are patented all-purpose cleaning and sanitation systems. Our systems provide, safe, economical, easy to handle and environmentally friendly solutions for maintaining pathogenic control in both water and on contact services. The all-purpose cleaning and sanitizing system has unlimited use for sanitizing for both commercial and residential. 

These systems control microorganisms in the water by adding oxidation that meets (WHO) World Health Organization standards for (ORP) Oxidation Reduction Potential. Our aqueous systems range from 1 gallon per minute (GPM) to 10 gallons per minute. We can develop a system that meets all needs at home and in the business environment!

These systems are on-site production for the removal of containments in the water, while supplying  a continuous supply of all-purpose cleaner and sanitizer. This is generated without having to purchase any additional chemicals or additives.   

The all-purpose cleaner and sanitation system can be used in restaurants, grocery stores, office buildings, schools, day care facilities, sport training facilities, warehousing, transportation and for production facilities. The all-purpose cleaner and sanitizer solution will clean and sanitize food processing areas, food utensils, food equipment, ice machines and prep work stations. 

The solution is approved by FDA, USDA, OSHA, EPA, and NSF Sustainability Certified.  The uses for this product are as endless as your to-do list which include packaging areas, floors, walls, washrooms, high touch surfaces, ice machines and can even kill bacteria inside floor drains. The solution is also approved by the USDA as a direct food additive for washing fruit and vegetables. 

The FDA followed by other regulatory bodies such as FDA, USDA, EPA, FIFRA, NSF and OSHA granted the use of aqueous ozone as "Generally Recognized as Safe" for the sanitization and disinfection of foods. This Solution cleans and controls microorganisms that are common to hard surfaces. 

Eliminate between 50%-90% of your costs for cleaning chemicals, laundry expense and sanitizing! 

We are not asking to increase capital expenditures, but rather re-allocate current spending to decrease chemical expenditures and increase profits while growing the  green foot print in any facility!

There is keen interest in the potential for ozone-treated water (Ozonation) to supplement or wholly substitute for current antimicrobials added to post-harvest wash and cooling water. 

Gaseous ozone and ozone-fogging applications are triggering cautious interest for surface sanitization in pre-coolers and cold storage.

The attraction to drop other chemistries, predominantly various chlorine-based formulations, in favor of ozone is clear:

• ·  Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent
• ·  Ozone is FDA-listed as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS)
• ·  Ozone is allowed as an “ingredient” under the USDA National Organic Program
• ·  Ozone lethality to viruses and parasites in contaminated water far exceeds chlorination
• ·  Ozone treatment enhances water reuse systems by micro-flocculation of suspended particulates
• ·  Ozone has been shown to degrade pesticide residues in reuse water and on fruit surfaces
• ·  Ozone creates negligible disinfection by-products
• ·  Ozone breaks down to atmospheric oxygen

Post-harvest water Ozonation, in particular, in the fresh produce sector has increased over the past 10 years, including with tree fruit and vine crops. Ozone generation and delivery-device suppliers (ozone generators) cite recognized safe and effective use in water treatment since the early 1800’s, with levels as low as 1 ppm.

As an antimicrobial oxidizer, consider the following equation: Ozone > Peroxyacetic Acid > Hydrogen Peroxide > Hypochlorous Acid > Chlorine Dioxide. Each of these chemistries has some advantages and other mechanisms of antimicrobial action, such as being both an oxidizer and metabolic poison to microbes.
