Food Beverage Ozonation
Ozone can provide a better product
For more than 30 years the bottled water industry has been using ozone to effectively treat its water. The treatment ensures a quality product that customers will pay a premium for. The industry knows that ozone treated water creates a product that tastes good and is aesthetically pleasing. Ozone (O3) is a naturally occurring compound in the form of a gas that is a powerful oxidizer and strong disinfectant.
Key features of the Mazzei Technology
- Ozone Concentration – Concentration and solubility are directly proportional, so higher ozone concentrations promote transfer of more ozone into solution
- Gas-to-Liquid Ratio – A lower gas-to-liquid ratio (Vg/Vl) allows for greater ozone mass transfer efficiency
- Water Pressure – Higher pressure yields increase ozone solubility
- Water Temperature – Higher temperature reduces solubility but increases the chemical reaction rate
- Mixing – Intense, forceful mixing results in the rapid renewal of the gas-liquid interface and in increasing the mass transfer rate and reaction rate
Successful ozone contacting is best achieved by:
- Raising the ozone concentration while lowering the gas-to-liquid ratio
- Operating under the highest water pressure available
- Including the most aggressive mixing components
- Using an integrated system with intelligent design — the Mazzei System where the components work together to optimize performance
