New Ozone Research is Posted

Our Ozone Research page received four new papers today! These four papers are all complete research papers that were written specifically for, or by, Ozone Solutions. See ozone research.

These papers are a great addition to our research page. The first paper is a paper on Ozone and ground beef. This paper was presented at the recent International Ozone Association Conference in, Bellevue, WA.  This paper covers the potential use of using ozone gas to reduce E.coli in ground beef.

The second paper is titled Antimicrobial Effects of Ozonated Water Against Generic E.coli on Swine Intestines. This paper covers the use of ozone on pork carcasses.  This paper was written by a local pork processor to determine if ozone would be good solution for their operation.  Today they are using ozone throughout their plant.

The third paper is my personal favorite.  That may be due to my personal involvement, however it is more likely due to the great results is showed.  This paper shows the relationship of ozone concentration, and contact time against E.coli bacteria.  In this paper we discovered that only 2.0 ppm of ozone for one second of contact time is very effective at achieving a great reduction in E.coli bacteria.

The final paper titled Antimicrobial Efficacies of 2.3 ppm Aqueous Ozone Against E.coli and General Aerobic Bacteria shows the effect of 2.3 ppm aqueous ozone.  This is a simple paper that shows the great effect of a typical ozone residual in water.

You can check out these papers along with other research and information on our food processing page.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact our ozone application engineers today.
