Ozone Technology
Remediation Equipment and Services (RES) is an authorized Distributor for Ozone Equipment by “Ozone Solutions” of Hull, IA. We are also an experienced user of this technology. Ozone can be applied in many different applications such as:
- Water & Waste Treatment
- Ground Water Remediation
- Food Disinfectant
- Vapor Control
- Soil Remediation
RES OZONE IN-SITU REMEDIATION
RES can design, install, and provide O & M services. We can build to spec and have rental units available.
What is ozone?
Ozone, (O3), sometimes called “activated oxygen”, contains three atoms of oxygen rather than the two atoms we normally breathe. Ozone is the second most powerful sterilant in the world and can be used to destroy bacteria, viruses and odors. Interestingly ozone occurs quite readily in nature, most often as a result of lightning strikes that occur during thunderstorms. In fact the “fresh, clean, spring rain” smell that we notice after a storm most often results from nature’s creation of ozone. However, we are probably most familiar with ozone from reading about the “ozone layer” that circles the planet above the earth’s atmosphere. Here ozone is created by the sun’s ultra-violet rays. This serves to protect us from the ultra-violet radiation.
EXAMPLES OF ACUTAL SITE REMEDIATION
Full scale ozone injection system treating bedrock aquifier
Use periodic injections to treat “hot” spots, convert existing MW’s to temporary injection wells. Reductions over 4 months of 1 week injections.
Full scale system treating multiple aquifiers shallow-unsaturated and deep bedrock
Full scale ozone injection system injecting into multiple zones
RES ROSE TECHNOLOGY
Our Web-based Remote Remediation Monitoring System utilizing our proprietary Remediation Operation System Equipment (ROSE) technology, we are able to see how a system responds to subtle changes in site conditions and make changes to the system remotely. ROSE technology is applied to the remediation system to optimize system operation, therefore, decreasing overall remediation costs.
ROSE Technology operates using a standard high speed transmission line. A cable or standard phone line could also be used. All ROSE technology components can be adapted into most existing remediation systems by incorporating control system upgrades or by reprogramming the existing systems. ROSE Technology allows for the tabulation of daily and accumulated totals of run time hours and/or poundage of oxidants injected/extracted per zone.

The upcoming 2012 conference of the Integrated Petroleum Environmental Consortium (the 19th Annual), to be held Oct 30 – Nov 1, will feature two sessions regarding the success of ozone in soil remediation applications regarding petroleum hydrocarbons.
