Q1. WHAT IS OZONE?
A: Ozone is one of the most powerful oxidants available, destroying bacteria,
     viruses, mold, formaldehyde and mildew in air, water and diverse
     applications almost instantly and more efficiently than anyother technology.
     Ozone’s molecular structure is three oxygen atoms(O3).

Q2. How is the ozone produced?
A: Ozone can be produced artificially by an ozone generator according to the
     same principles that occur in nature; by UV light (ozone layer) or by corona
     discharge (lightning). In both methods the bonds between oxygen mole
     cules are broken forming oxygen radicals (O), which connect with other
     oxygen molecules (O2) to create ozone (O3). The corona discharge method
     is preferred for ozone production due to its prolonged efficiency and lower
     production costs.
          An ozone generator uses either ambient air or pure oxygen to create
     ozone. The benefit of using pure oxygen is that higher concentrations of
     ozone can be achieved more quickly. Applications requiring high ozone
     concentrations will therefore favour the use of an oxygen concentrator,
     which separates pure oxygen from the air.

Q3. How does ozone work?
A: Ozone destroys pathogens and odors by an oxidation process: one of
     the three oxygen atoms reacts and splits from the ozone molecule to
     oxidize matter with inherent oxidation demand. In so doing, the ozone
     molecule is transformed into oxygen. Any excess ozone is stable for a
     short time before decomposing back into oxygen.
          The most common ozone applications include air and water purification
     as well as applications where ozone can fully or partially replace
     disinfectants. As opposed to most chemicals, ozone is safe to use.

Q4. Why is ozone a green technology?
A: Ozone is a green technology with many environmental benefits. It reduces
     our dependence on traditionally used, harmful chemicals such as chlorine
     and eliminates their hazardous disinfectant by-products(DBPs). The only
     by-product created by ozone applications is oxygen which is reabsorbed
     into the atmosphere. Ozone’s ability to disinfect in cold water also saves
     energy.
