Ozone Injection System Installation

This week last week I was in Georgia installing and performing start up on a few Ozone Systems.  These are pictures of an installation of a Waterzone-20 Ozone Injection System for use in a chicken processing plant.  This system was installed above the production line in a clean, dry storage room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This system is used to inject water into ozone for salmonella destruction on chicken.  Chicken breasts are passed on a conveyor under a spray  bar of aqueous ozone.  Water is injected with ozone to maintain a 2 – 3 ppm ozone residual in the water.  This is measured and controlled by the AS-500 Dissolved Ozone Meter installed on the system.  Water is plumbed with stainless steel piping into the Ozone System, then down to the processing area below where the chicken breasts are sprayed with aqueous ozone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ball valves and a sample port have been installed by the customer to by-pass the Ozone System and adequately verify dissolved ozone levels in the water.

The Waterzone-20 Ozone Injection System can be turned ON and OFF remotely by the operators in the processing room below.  Connections are provided in the Waterzone-20 to start and stop the system, and also to verify there are no alarm conditions causing the dissolved ozone level to be low.
