Ozone Systems Ozone Sterilization for Bottled Water Ozone technology has proven very useful in the beverage market since the earliest 20 th century. Recent changes in legislature and industry guidelines have increased the need for ozone in the beverage industry in general. The effectiveness and cost benefits of ozone for these uses is proven in many locations throughout the world. Use of ozone CIP allows for lower operating costs.
Ozone reduces overall chemical costs, discharge assessments and plant downtime.
With ozone CIP, each cleaning program is the same as the previous one, translating repeatability into reliability. Ozone is not typically associated with by-products or contamination, and naturally reverts to oxygen, so no taste or odor is associated with its use. Ozone is generated on-site, so no dangerous storage or handling is required. The IBWA suggests a residual ozone content of 0.2 to 0.4 ppm of ozone in bottled water, providing disinfection of both the water and the bottle. Ozone disinfection technology has excelled in beverage applications.
