Air Purification
Ozone is sometimes called "activated oxygen". It contains three atoms of oxygen O3 rather than the two atoms we normally breath. When the ozone encounters another compound, one oxygen atom will break away, attach itself to the compound, and oxidize it. The life cycle of ozone's: generation, oxidation, return to oxygen. Ozone actually breaks down odor causing compounds, thereby eliminating the odor and changing the ozone back to oxygen (O2). Ozone kills bacteria by rupturing the cell wall of the offending organism. This action kills the bacteria leaving only harmless waste. While ozone is very powerful, it has a very short life cycle. When it is faced with odors the extra atom of oxygen destroys them completely by oxidation. In so doing, that extra atom of oxygen is destroyed and there is nothing left...no odor....no extra atom, only oxygen. Ozone can be used at very low levels for air purification, and at very high levels to perform High Ozone Shock Treatments that kill viri, bacteria, mold, and other germs. Our machines are much more than simple "air cleaners", they are also very powerful professional tools for bacterial sanitization.
