Can Fresh Produce Be Sanitised Without Chemicals?
Modern food processing facilities, cold-chain operators, fresh produce exporters and retailers are increasingly adopting ozone-based sanitation systems as part of their food safety and hygiene strategies. Ozone provides a powerful oxidation and disinfection process that can assist in reducing microbial contamination on fresh produce, processing equipment and wash water without relying on traditional chemical sanitisers.

Can Ozone Remove Nitrates from Drinking Water?
Nitrates are among the most common contaminants found in groundwater, borehole water, and agricultural water sources. Elevated nitrate concentrations can occur naturally, but they are often associated with agricultural runoff, fertiliser use, livestock activities, and wastewater contamination. High nitrate levels in drinking water are a growing concern because long-term exposure has been linked to health […]
Which SA industries benefit most from ozone treatment systems?
Food and beverage manufacturing Food and beverage plants face a constant battle with pathogen load on surfaces, equipment, and process water. Ozone disinfection eliminates the need for chlorine-based sanitisers in many wash and rinse applications, reducing both chemical residue risk and the chemical oxygen demand (COD) load going to drain. Multiple peer-reviewed studies support this: […]
