STERISAFE MINI

Ozone is one of the most powerful oxidants commercially available. It is this oxidation property of ozone that enables the ozone molecule to have biocidal effect.

Ozone is naturally occurring and is created by UV light from the sun reacting with oxygen in the atmosphere (the ozone layer), during a thunderstorm when lighting reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere.

The Pro3tec uses oxygen (o2) from the atmosphere, applies an electrical charge that splits the oxygen molecule which then recombines to form the unstable molecule ozone (o3).

As Ozone is an unstable molecule it will eventually reverts back to oxygen. As the level of ozone used for disinfection is above the occupational exposure limits an ozone destruct unit integral to the Pro3tec accelerates the ozone conversion back to oxygen. This makes the time taken for the biocidal process to be quicker and safer.

As the level of ozone produced is above the occupational exposure limits people and pets should not be present in the room when the treatment takes place.

The Protec is equipped with a remote safety device that indicates when the treatment has been completed and it is safe to enter the treated area.

When ozone is used in the treatment of a room it will react with materials in the room (disinfection by products). This is particularly evident in areas with high VOC content e.g. cars (new car smell).

The Pro3tec has a high density carbon filter that removes particulates to 2.5 µm which are harmful and created during the disinfection process.

The Pro3tec is equipped with two fans 1/. Ozone generation and 2/. Ozone destruct. This increases the amount of ozone produced as running ozone with the destruct ‘in play’ reduces the amount of ozone produced.

The Pro3tec is easy to handle with a total weight of 15kg. Wheels are also in position to assist the mobility of the generator.

Ozone Industries has access via shared ownership of an Ozone Dossier registered with ECHA the European Chemicals Agency (a copy of our certificate is on the following page). As a biocide all applications will need to be approved by ECHA. Generators not going through the approval process will need to be removed from the market.
