Ozone (Oł, a gas composed of three oxygen atoms) is naturally
generated when atmospheric Oxygen (O) rises to the stratosphere,
and is exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays, forming a layer of
protection commonly known as the 'Ozone Layer'. Our advanced
Ozone generating equipment mimics this natural process, converting
the Oxygen (O) present in atmospheric air into Ozone (O).
Ozone is a highly effective natural steriliser that can inactivate
practically any organic contaminant on contact. As it is a
highly reactive gas, Ozone continually reverts back to its most
stable form by releasing one of its atoms to turn back into Oxygen
(from O to O). As the additional Oxygen atom breaks free, it
will oxidise any organic matter it touches, killing organic
contaminants at a cellular level. Essentially, Ozone disrupts
the cellular structure by rupturing
the cell wall - a process referred to as 'cell lysing'. By intelligently controlling atmospheric Ozone concentration, we
are able to safely decontaminate any given area, as the additional
Oxygen atom in Ozone oxidises and inactivates a broad spectrum of
pathogens.
Our sanitisation process is highly effective for treating the air
and surfaces in any area through
the eradication of:
Bacteria
Viruses
Odours
Allergens
Mould
- Fungus
Infestations
Once the equipment is set up the operator leaves the area and starts
the sanitisation process remotely. The Ozone diffuses into the area
and engulfs all exposed surfaces and penetrates hidden areas and
fabric items.
The Ozone rich atmosphere is sustained for a short period of time,
typically one hour, during which time all bacteria and other
unwanted elements are destroyed.
When the sanitisation process is complete, Ozone rapidly reverts
back into Oxygen. This is further accelerated by an Ozone
deactivation programme, so the process can be completed very
quickly.
Advantages of using Ozone
Imagine the possibilities created by safely harnessing the
sanitising power of ozone in gaseous form. As a gas, ozone is at its
most effective. Ozone gas can fill areas very quickly, will
penetrate into places that are traditionally difficult to reach
(including fabrics and upholstery) and will inactivate contaminants
on contact.
Consider the labour force, time and range of chemicals required to
disinfect the entirety of a large room and its contents.
By using ozone instead, all of the walls, the doors and doorframes,
the windows, the floor, the ceiling, the contents, soft furnishings
and even the air can be treated automatically, with no additional
chemicals and in a very short timescale.
With traditional sanitising methods there is a risk of
re-contamination as contaminates can potentially be spread around
the area on cleaning cloths and implements. This risk is completely
negated by using Ozone Sanitisation. As Ozone is a gas
composed entirely of Oxygen, it leaves no chemical residue
whatsoever.
At the end of the sanitisation process, the only by-product
remaining is fresh clean air. When compared to traditional chemical
sanitising agents, Ozone would therefore seem the natural choice for
any organisation looking to reduce the environmental footprint, time
and labour requirement of their current sanitisation processes.
