Ozone Water

Ozone in water a powerful biocidal, chemical-free liquid offering a disinfecting solution across a multitude of applications in the food and beverage, agriculture, aquaculture, and waste water industries

Advanced Ozone Water Solutions

With years of expertise in ozone technology, Sozones delivers custom water-treatment systems that harness ozone’s oxidative power across all applications. From clean-in-place (CIP) loops and bottle-rinse stations to open-plant sanitising and full-scale wastewater treatment (including filamentous sludge control, micropollutant removal and textile effluent decolourisation), our specialists can design and install robust, energy-efficient solutions that guarantee effective, residue-free results.

Clean-In-Place (CIP)

Ozone-infused water circulates through pipes, valves and tanks to effectively break down and eliminate biofilm and pathogens. This advanced cleaning method works without the need for any heat or strong acidic chemicals.

Bottle Rinsing

Injecting ozone into rinse water eliminates microbes on bottles, reducing spoilage organisms like yeast and moulds and lowering product recall risks. Precise dosing (1–3 mg/L) can deliver 99.9% pathogen reduction.

Open Plant Sanitising

Ozonated water as a chemical free final or interim sanitiser for equipment, conveyor belts, floors and drains, effectively killing bacteria like Listeria and reducing biofilm formation without the risk of product taint.

Wastewater Treatment (WWTP)

Ozone gas is generated in-situ by the ozone generator, it is then dissolved into the waste water to kill microorganisms and remove inorganic and organic pollutants, resulting in clearer water.

Agriculture

Ozone-treated irrigation water controls pathogens on crops, reducing reliance on pesticides and boosting safety. By sanitising water lines and eliminating bacteria, ozone supports higher yields.

Aquaculture

Ozone is a powerful cleaning agent in aquariums and fish farms, it breaks down inorganic and organic materials lowering levels of BOD, COD, suspended solids, sediment, turbidity, colour, taste and odour.

Cooling Towers

Ozone injection prevents biofilm formation, legionella growth and scale buildup in cooling towers. Ozone reduces or completely eliminates the need for chemical treatments, it lowers water usage, and improves air quality.

Water Storage Tanks

Ozone-treated water prevents biofilm formation and microbial growth inside storage tanks, thereby maintaining water quality, system integrity and plant efficiency.

Tailored System Design

Our ozone solutions are tailored to your facility’s layout and process needs, ensuring optimal contact time and efficient ozone distribution to provide optimal results.

Understanding Ozone Water Treatment

From food & beverage plants to wastewater treatment facilities, cooling towers, aquaculture farms and agricultural irrigation, our ozone water applications deliver powerful, chemical-free disinfection and purification. Whether you need clean-in-place sanitisation for processing lines, bottle-rinsing without residues, open-plant washdowns, or effluent polishing to remove filamentous sludge, micropollutants and textile dyes, our bespoke systems harness ozone’s oxidative strength to deliver unparalleled results.

Ozone in Water: The Ultimate Purifier?

Key Insights on Ozone’s Role in Water Purification

Ozone (O₃) is a highly reactive oxidant that dissolves into water to eliminate pathogens, break down pollutants and leave no harmful residues or byproducts. Its rapid reactivity and ability to revert to oxygen make it an environmentally friendly choice for a wide range of water-treatment applications.

Ozone attacks bacterial cell walls and membranes, causing rapid oxidation of lipids and proteins. This disrupts cellular function and leads to complete inactivation within seconds, often achieving log‐reduction values of 4–6 at low ozone doses.

As detailed above, Ozone effectively oxidises organic contaminants, micropollutants and taste-and-odour compounds that resist conventional treatments. Its strong oxidative power also breaks down complex molecules, such as pesticides and dyes, into more biodegradable fragments.

Certainly. After treatment, ozone naturally decomposes into oxygen within minutes, leaving no chemical byproducts in the water. Unlike chlorine, it produces no trihalomethanes or chloramines, making treated water safe for direct use or consumption.

Ozone is typically injected via venturi injectors or static mixers to ensure efficient mass transfer. Dosing rates (e.g., 1–5 mg/L) are calculated based on water quality parameters, such as turbidity, temperature and pH, to maintain effective disinfection without overdosing.
