Ozone generators require a source of oxygen to make ozone (O3). This is simply three oxygen atoms connected together (O3). The air that we breathe contains about 21% oxygen and is built from two oxygen atoms (O2). You can buy pure oxygen from industrial and medical gas suppliers. It is also possible to make oxygen using a so-called oxygen concentrator. Small versions of ozone sanitizing devices are used for home medical purposes. They also produce a gas that is extremely dry which is 90-95% oxygen.
In order for O3 to be effective, you need to reach shock levels of the gas in the areas being treated. Most homeowner grade O3 generators never reach shock levels, and the homeowner is forced to let the machine run for days on end, to accomplish an effect. This can have unintended negative effective on objects, electronics, and rubber items in the area being treated.
It takes less than a few hours to learn the ropes, and the best way to get experience is to give away free treatments to potential customers that are what are called in the business, "bird dogs". These are people that are in the position to refer future business and future clients to you. Who needs odor removal? Apartment building owners need odor removal. REO Realtors need to get rid of smells in houses. Used car dealerships need to get rid of cigarette and other smells. Gymnasiums need to get rid of sweat smells. Bowling alleys need to get rid of cigarette odors.
With well-engineered, well-designed systems based on a real-world analysis of your OPL operation, O3 laundry can deliver savings and excellent linen outcomes. The O3 system that you need is one that is exactly matched to your OPL. When you have it, you will believe in the O3 promise.
The only problem is that ozonators wear out. Most ozonators (either corona discharge or ultraviolet) last only about 9,000 hours of run time. When they finally fail, typically after about 3 years of operation, their sanitizing power is lost. At that point, the water is only being cleaned by the chemicals put into it, and a game of 'maintain that water' begins.
When dealing with indoor air though things become a little bit more complicated. In indoor environments, air can become stagnant and is not subjected to nature's normal cleansing mechanisms which are primarily UV light or direct sunlight, and O3 which is produced when sunlight in the right frequencies reacts with moisture in the air and releases O3. Indoors this does not happen.
For many years, commercial on-premise laundry (OPL) operators have been hearing promises that ozone laundry systems would provide a dramatic gain in laundry operational efficiencies (especially through energy savings) without a loss in linen outcomes. Unfortunately, there were some poorly conceived systems on the market that over-promised and under-delivered.
O3 is a non-chemical sanitizer. Unfortunately, O3 alone is not an effective enough sanitizer to keep a spa healthy by itself and is used with another sanitizer like chlorine or bromine. O3 will reduce the required amounts of the primary sanitizer being used thereby reducing the negative effects of that chemical. The most significant drawback to O3 is the significant start up costs and the periodic need to replace the bulb. Additionally, O3 can be hazardous when used on an indoor spa and therefore should not be used.
