Behind the Interview: Biozone Talks Borehole Water Treatment with Plumber Africa
This week, Biozone Manufacturing sat down with IMD Media at our Randburg head office for an in-depth interview to be featured in Plumber Africa. The publication has covered one of our customer water treatment installations, and this follow-up conversation dug deeper into the technical side of borehole water treatment from contamination risks to maintenance best […]
How Eight Biozone Outlaws Rode Into a Potjie Competition and Took First Place
More than a potjie. A story of teamwork, creativity, and the power of bringing people together. On a chilly winter morning, before the fires were lit and before the first cast iron pot touched the coals, there was already something special happening. The Biozone Outlaws had arrived. Eight teammates. One shared goal. Countless hours of […]
The Real Cost of Non-Compliance (And How to Get Ahead of It)
When operators consider non-compliance costs, they often focus on fines. Still, the real impact extends to downtime, lost contracts, and reputational damage that can affect future business. The Costs That Don’t Make the Headlines Operational downtime: A discharge incident or a failed inspection can trigger a stop-operations directive. At the same time, remediation occurs, and […]
Does ozone effectively remove pesticide residues from fruit and vegetables?
Pesticide Degradation by Ozonation High pH and low temperatures improve the degradation of pesticides by ozone. Pesticides affected by low ozone doses: Dimethoate Chlortoluron Diuron Isoproturon Metoxuron Vinclozolin Increasing the ozone dose enhances the degradation of most pesticides. Poorly degradable pesticides such as atrazine, propazine, simazine, and others react slowly with ozone, relying mainly on […]
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: […]
