I've put together a list of what I've been able to find so far for potential (i.e. not necessarily actual) competitors for OZON. This does not include outfits just offering home ozone air purifiers or home colonic kits and things like that. In some cases I've linked to home pages, in others I could only find things like news releases.
Applied Ozone Systems foothill.net They claim: "APPLIED OZONE SYSTEMS specializes in the consulting, design, development, sale,installation and service of Ozone and Ultraviolet Air and Water Purification Systems for Homes, Industry and Perishable Food Applications." After reading some of the psuedo-scientific nonsense on the "Ozone and Detoxification" page, I have a hard time taking them seriously.
AZCO Industries azco.bc.ca A canadian company. I could see them partnering with someone, as Cyclopss has done with Schlyer, and hawking systems to the food industry.
Bioxide Corp. ipocentral.com "Bioxide develops sterilization devices and products incorporating its Deligen II technology, which combines ultraviolet light and ozone to sterilize products, water, and air." They're going public, you can read their filing at EDGAR.
Envirocleanse envirocleanse.com Their page seems to be disconnected, but the search engine shows the page started: "ozone laundry systems for commercial laundries, hospitals, hotel laundry, nursing homes. Lower water, sewer, chemical costs while becoming environmentally friendly."
Envirozone Identified in the 10K as a competitor in the ozone laundry business. I haven't found anything about them on the web except that there is a company by that name in Hilton Head Island, SC.
Guestcare, Inc. etven.com Looks like big competition for ozonated laundry.
Longmark Ozone Industries trupure.com "Longmark Ozone Industries, Inc., is in its eleventh year as a manufacturer of ozone systems, ozone generators and equipment for non-chemical water treatment. "
Lynntech Corp. w3.arl.mil A competitor in the ozone medical sterilyzer arena. With the army backing them, looks like they have a major customer in the bag.
Maxwell Technologies maxwell.com Uses intense light instead of ozone for decontamination. An interesting alternative, but I doubt its practicality.
Ozone Services o3zone.com Not sure how seriously to take them.
Praxair-Trailigaz Ozone praxair.com Praxair and Trailigaz are big players. If they decide to get into food washing, look out.
Pyramid Environmental Technologies ozonated.com Unsure whether to take them seriously or not.
REM Co. remlaundry.com Another competitor in the ozone laundry arena.
Tri-O-Clean Systems, Inc. skrecc.com premier1.net Seems like a serious competitor in the ozone laundry business, and we know from the ABC News piece they are already into produce washing.
Anybody have any others to add?
