Ozone is used in place of traditional biocides such as Bromine or Chlorine. Ozone leaves no residual chemical in the effluent, and bacteria like legionella cannot develop immunity to ozone. Ozone is proven highly effective as a biocide. A Federal Technology Alert issued in December of 1995 titled Ozone Treatment for Cooling Towers endorses the use of ozone to eliminate infectious bacteria and viruses from cooling tower re-circulating water systems. The document does site a key disadvantage to ozone based treatment systems being the cost of ozone generators capable of providing effective treatment. Other disadvantages sited were the need for technically trained service personnel, and modifications to existing equipment required to adapt the system to ozone delivery.
Many organizations have attempted to employ ozone in water treatment programs but few have succeeded. Though ozone is a highly effective biocide, proper application of the ozone gas has created a challenge for the water treatment community. Flozone Services has proven success where others have failed. The Flozone IMS unit employs one of the smallest, highly efficient, ozone generators in the world. Flozone IMS units are custom designed for each customer, with the QED, ozone generators, mixing columns, and distribution systems designed and sized for the particular application.
Flozone's combination of QED energy plus on site Ozone generation and delivery plus 24/7 monitoring provides you with state of the art chemical free water treatment and HVAC water management.
