An Introduction To Ozone

What is Ozone?

Ozone is a strong oxidizing agent and its use maintains the desired Redox level in closed aquatic environments. We produce ozone by passing a very high electrical charge through a tunnel called a corona. Dried air is pumped through the corona and a reaction takes place converting the oxygen to ozone. When we pump water through the reaction chamber (a sealed unit designed to allow the correct exposure/flow rate for maximum effect) and inject the ozone, continuous oxidization takes place. Apart from the benefits of improved Redox potential through the destruction of nitrates, ammonia’s, phenols and organics. The ozone will kill all parasites, burn off all water borne bacteria and viruses and even control blanket weed!!

Why use an ozone generator?

Ozone is the ONLY single method we have of destroying free-swimming parasites, bacterium and viruses. It also literally burns up organics and phenols. Due to the relatively short life span of ozone it quickly reverts to oxygen enriching the water quality.

Obviously, improved water quality combined with the high oxygen content and the lack of bacteria to cause primary and secondary infections gives a huge boost to the livestock’s own immune system enabling speedy recover from knocks, parasite infestation, bacterial infections. Another major benefit is the prevention of cross infection in centralised systems.

Systems using ozone generators do not require regular dosing of medications such as malachite green, formaline, acriflavine or antibiotics. If they were to be administered the ozone generated would burn them out.

Why do we need a ORP Controller/Meter and Probe?

The ORP uses a probe, which is normally situated in the system reservoir to continually monitor and provide an accurate and constant Redox reading. The Controller turns the Ozone generator on and off as required to maintain the pre­set parameters.

What ORP reading are we seeking?

The aim should be a reading in the area of 300 to 380mV for best results. Studies show that a Redox potential of 350mV reduces the concentration of coliform bacteria from 300 ppm to 3ppm

Technology Data

Features

High efficiency of sterilization:
The sterilization of ozone is 1.5-5 times than ultraviolet light does, 300-3000 times faster than chlorine; it can make the products to meet the standard of sanitary disinfection.
Wide usage:
Ozone has the function of killing germs, virus, parasites and microbe. In addition, it has the function of brightening, keeping fresh, removing odors, colors and resolve poisonous harmful chemicals. It is especially curative for tail rot, erythema, scale disease and mold, etc. It is also effective to treat and prevent other symptoms and diseases.
Economy and convenience:
It adopts air and oxygen as raw materials; it requires no medicine and additive.
Non second time pollution:
Ozone can adjust the PH value of the breeding pond and improve the water quality so that it is more suitable for cultivating aquatic. It has no product and remainder after reaction.
