One of the important future applications is the replacement of Auto-Claves, an apparatus to sterilize surgical instruments, being developed for the first time in the world. In the conventional method, surgical instruments were boiled and pressurized in Autoclaves. In addition to being a laborious process, it also consumed a lot of energy. This can be easily replaced by ozone-based disinfectors with high concentration of ozone circulating in a stream of water and dipping the instruments to become sterilized almost instantaneously and using less energy.
Other important niches for Ozone are: the cooling waters, (Keeping the cooling water sparkling without any chemical build-up and hence, no need of blow-down and zero-pollution,) fish ponds, (for the same reason) sewage water treatment plants and also to remove the stench, and generally a host of applications where the liquid fire of high concentration Ozone, will oxidise unwanted molecules which otherwise resist all other treatments, such as the pesticides, DDT, Deldrin, Arsenic, Aldrin, and other toxic or poisonous substances. |
