INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

Advanced Ozone Systems for Food Safety and Freshness

GOVAPEX™ manufactures advanced ozone technology designed for the food and beverage industry. Our eco-friendly, chemical-free systems provide sustainable solutions that improve food safety, extend shelf life, and meet the high standards of industrial-scale food processing.

Eco-Friendly

Ozone technology represents a clean, eco-friendly alternative to chemical treatments. Since ozone is generated on-site from oxygen and reverts back to oxygen after use, it produces no harmful residuals or pollutants. A GOVAPEX™ Oxidative System aligns with the increasing demand for sustainable, chemical-free industrial processes that protect both the environment and human health.

Water Disinfection

Ozone is one of the most potent disinfectants in the world. This makes it an ideal solution for water treatment, as it kills bacteria and viruses without leaving behind harmful byproducts like trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs), which are common with older, traditional methods such as chlorine. The GOVAPEX™ Oxidative System offers a safe and reliable approach to ensure water supplies remain uncontaminated and suitable for consumption or industrial use.

Pathogen Control

Ozone’s strong oxidative properties rapidly kill a variety of harmful pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, Vibrio, and E.coli. This makes ozone technology highly effective in seafood and food processing environments, where pathogen control and regulatory compliance are crucial. GOVAPEX™ Oxidative Systems provide a non-toxic solution, making it an attractive alternative to outdated chemical treatments.

Flake Ice Purification

Using ozone in flake icing systems improves the safety and quality of seafood products by effectively killing harmful microorganisms that can cause foodborne illnesses and spoilage. As ozonated flake ice melts, ozone is gradually released, ensuring a continuous stream of fresh sanitizer is in contact with seafood throughout the packing and transportation process. This melting enhances disinfection by allowing ozone to react quickly with pathogens. The GOVAPEX™ Oxidative System is the advanced technological solution that inhibits quality loss and extends seafood shelf life during processing and storage.

BOD/COD Reduction

Ozone technology is effective in reducing both biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in industrial wastewater. By oxidizing organic pollutants, ozone helps in lowering the BOD/COD levels, improving the overall water quality, and making it easier for downstream biological treatment processes. This results in more efficient and cost-effective wastewater management.

TOC Reduction

Total organic carbon (TOC) levels can indicate the presence of harmful organic compounds in water. Ozone helps reduce TOC by breaking down complex organic molecules into simpler, less harmful compounds. This process enhances water quality and ensures that treated water meets stringent regulatory standards for industrial and environmental applications.

Iron/Manganese Removal

Ozone is particularly effective in oxidizing dissolved iron and manganese in water. When treated with ozone, these metals precipitate out of the water, allowing for easy filtration and removal. This process prevents staining, improves water taste and color, and protects downstream equipment from corrosion and scaling.

Clean-in-Place (CIP)

Ozone is an excellent choice for Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems, where it provides a safe, chemical-free sanitization method. Ozone breaks down organic contaminants and kills microorganisms on contact, leaving no residue. This is particularly beneficial in industries such as food and beverage, where maintaining sterile equipment without chemical residues is essential.

Chemical-Free Treatment

Ozone offers an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical treatments. Unlike chlorine or other harsh chemicals, ozone breaks down into oxygen, leaving no harmful by-products. GOVAPEX’s ozone systems provide a sustainable solution for a wide range of industries seeking to minimize their environmental footprint while achieving high levels of treatment efficacy.

Odor Control

Ozone’s powerful oxidative capabilities and safe decomposition into oxygen after use make it an ideal solution for sustainable odor management. Introducing ozone into storage areas and production facilities can significantly reduce foul smells and enhance the overall environment. By breaking down odorous compounds at the molecular level, a GOVAPEX™ Oxidative System eliminates offensive odors rather than merely masking them.
