Spartan Environmental Technologies supplies ozone generators and ozone generator systems for a wide variety of
applications including Food and Beverage processing.  If you are looking for disinfection solutions for bottled water, clean
in place applications, bottle washing, fruit and vegetable washing or other food and beverage application call us at

Ozone has found a wide range of uses in the food and beverage industry.  It is an
FDA approved food additive.  A few of
the applications are listed below including links to more detailed discussions:

Bottle Water Treatment - Ozone water treatment is key process in the preparation of safe and good tasting bottled
water.  
This link will take you to a discussion of ozone and ozone generator use in bottled water production.

Post Harvest Disinfection of Fruits and Vegetables -  Ozone is becoming an important alternative to chlorine for
disinfection of wash water for fruits and vegetables.  
This link will take you to a more detailed discussion on ozone wash
water treatment for fruits and vegetable.  

A more general article on ozone use in post harvest disinfection written by the USDA can be found in by following the link:
Ozone in Food Safety.  

Ozone has 1.5 times the oxidizing potential of chlorine and 3,000 times the potential of hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Contact
times for antimicrobial action are typically 4-5 times less than chlorine. Ozone rapidly attacks bacterial cell walls and is
more effective against the thick-walled spores of plant pathogens and animal parasites than chlorine, at practical and safe
concentrations.

In comparison to the potential negative effects of residues and organic reaction products formed with chlorine
applications, ozone does not form deleterious chlorinated hydrocarbons, trihalomethanes (such as chloroform) and other
chlorinated disinfection by-products.

Ozone has been evaluated for post harvest disease control and other storage uses for many years.  Some commercial
use has occurred with commodities such as apples, cherries, carrots, garlic, kiwi, onions, and peach, plum, potatoes, and
table grapes.

The most reproducible benefits to storage are in the substantial reduction of spore production on the surface of infected
produce and the exclusion of secondary spread from infected produce to adjacent product.  The mushroom industry also
uses ozone to control spores in the growing room air.

In general, ozone treatments in post harvest storage have greatest economic benefit when stored produce will be sorted
prior to shipment or re-packed following distribution and short-term storage to remove decayed product. For sizing
considerations, the impact of wood surfaces, urethane insulation, fiberboard, and other corrugated materials in the
storage facility will create an additional demand on ozone application that may reduce the effective delivered dose.
The benefits of ozone treatment to cold storage rooms or facilities may be direct and indirect. Ozone destruction of
ethylene in air filtration systems has been linked to extended storage life of diverse ethylene sensitive commodities.

Spartan Ozone Generators for Food and Beverage Applications  

While Most of Spartan's ozone generators can be adapted for food and beverage applications, several of the systems
have been specifically designed with these applications in mind.

STERILINE/OZOLINE

These compacted packaged systems produce ozonated water under pressure for use in a wide variety of applications.  All
wetted parts are stainless steel, viton or teflon.  Only power, water and compressed air are required for their operations.  
All components are inside the stainless steel enclosure.  Follow the link
STERILINE/OZOLINE for more information.

MOBILOZONE

These portable self contained ozonation systems are made of stainless steel and mounted on rollers for easy transport.  
MOBILOZONE produces pressurized ozonated water for applications such as washing down vessels and other surfaces
used in food processing plants.  They only require power and water.  Follow the link
MOBILOZONE for more information.
