Ozone is known for its oxidising capabilities. As ozone consists of three oxygen atoms, it is richer in oxygen than O2, which we breathe in every day. When ozone (O3) comes into contact with normal air (O2), a chemical process occurs. This process is best described as oxidation – similar to rusting. In practice, it means that the oxygen atoms in ozone attach to odour molecules, whereupon oxidation takes place. The outcome is purer air, free of ethylene, thereby improving the quality of your product.
Ozone (O3) is a natural blue gas and an activated form of oxygen. In contrast to O2, ozone consists of three oxygen atoms. In addition to being dispersed through the air, ozone is applied through the water and as an odour control mechanism.
When the ozone generator adds ozone to the air, it attaches itself to O2.The oxidation that occurs as a result has a destructive effect on other molecules in the air. The end result of ozone treatment via the air is purified air and improved quality.
