Aquaculture and Ozone
Posted by Joel Leusink on July 19, 2011 under Commercial Ozone Usage | Read the First Comment
Ozone is increasingly used in aquaculture due to its numerous advantages over traditional water treatment methods. Supplementing or replacing an existing system, ozone implementation has the potential to boost the competitive advantage of your aquaculture application.
Ozone Advantages
- Reduced Water Usage
- Faster Growth Rates
- Reduction of Waterborne Diseases
- Higher Standard of Environmental Control
- Supplements other Treatment Processes
To take full advantage of ozone, you have to understand the basics. Click here to learn more.
Why Ozone Use is Growing in Aquaculture
- It effectively removes organics, pesticides, discoloration, and nitrates.
- Typically unconsumed ozone reverts back to oxygen, leaving no harmful residuals behind.
- Ozone oxidizes long chain molecules, which are unaffected by biofiltration.
- Ozone involves far lower risk of accidental pollution in comparison to other water treatment methods.
- O3 improves the effectiveness of biological and particulate filtration.

Ozone Helps Produce Last Longer by Extending Shelf Life
Common Applications for Ozone use in Food Storage
- Potato Storage Facilities
- Onion Storage Facilities
- Citrus Fruit Storage
- Vegetable Storage
- Aged Ham Storage
- Cool Meat Storage
- Preservation of Fish and Seafood
- General Cold Storage Facilities
Methods of Ozone Application
- Ozone gas can be distributed throughout a cold storage facility at low levels.
- Ozone-sterilized ice is used to pack fresh fish and seafood to prolong freshness.
- Ozone gas is used in meat coolers to inhibit microbiological growth and extend shelf life.
- Ozone is dissolved into water to wash fruits and vegetables and remove mold and bacteria.
- Low levels of ozone gas can be used in containers to prolong shelf life upon delivery.
- Dissolved ozone is used to wash meat and poultry to remove bacteria and extend refrigerated shelf life
Benefits of Ozone Use in Cold Storage
- Extend shelf-life of the produce within the cold storage facility.
- Air-borne microbiological control
- Low ozone levels (<0.3 PPM) will inhibit microbiological growth in the air.
- High ozone levels can be used for disinfection when room is empty.
- Surface sanitation can be maintained
- By inhibiting microbiological growth pathogens on the surface of produce, containers, and walls will be kept to a minimum.
- Eliminate mold growth from cold storage area.
- Odor control
- Maintain an odor-free cold storage area
- Keep odors from cross contaminating between products
- Ethylene Removal
Extension of Storage Life With Ozone
A few examples
| Food | Extension | Storage Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Fish | 50-80% | ozone sterilized ice |
| Salmon | 50% | ozone sterilized ice |
| Jack Mackerel and Shimaaji (fish) | 1.2 – 1.6 days | Soak in 30% NaCl cont. 0.6 mg/L O3 30-60 min. every 2 days. |
| Beef (frozen) | 30-40% | 0.4oC; 85-90% RH; 10-20 mg/m3 O3, provided original microbial count is below 103/cm2 |
| Poultry | 2.4 days | Soak in ice water while passing in O3 (3.88 mg/L) 20 min. |
| Bananas | substantial | A few ppm O3 @ 12oC, if fruit is not within a few days of its period of rapid ripening. |
| Strawberries, Raspberries, Currents, Grapes | 100% | 2-3 ppm O3, continuously or several hours each day. |
| Apples | several | 1.95 cm3 O3/m3 |
| Potatoes | 6 months | 3 mg/L O3; 6-14oC; 93-97% RH |
| Eggs | 8 months | 0.6 ppm O3; 31oF; 90% RH |
| Cheeses | 63 days | 0.2 – 0.3 ppm O3 |

IN USA Ozone Analyzer H1-S
Posted by Joel Leusink on July 5, 2011 under Ozone Products | Read the First Comment
This analyzer is now sold, for other used ozone analyzers please contact our sales team to learn about our latest arrivals.
We just recently received an H1-S IN USA high concentration ozone analyzer. This is a good used analyzer that will measure ozone concentration in g/m3. We just recently checked this units calibration against a few others in our calibration lab and found it be be very accurate. If you are looking for a good used (low cost) high concentration ozone analyzer, check this unit out.
Common uses for an analyzer like this would be in-line ozone measurement, or measuring the output of your ozone generator.
