To all ozoners. Granted the food processing issues have been in the news and that is what has gotten the media attention . That is wonderful. I would like to draw your attention to post 1089 ,in re the application of the ozon laundry system ,and the benefits for conversion. There are many posts on the research thread and here that point out all the benefits,40% costs saving in power, no chlorine toxic waste and handling toxic material,longer linen life,100% sterilization of bacteria. There are 13 of these systems IN USE. The major hotel here in Atlanta was on tv several weeks ago raving about the new ozon system they had installed with the Pres of Ga. Power. This has more immediate potential for revenues than food pro. Mind you I want it all but I dont want you all to get restless if it takes months to plan these installations for the food processor. THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH THE LAUNDRY SYSTEM!!! The Co has meetings in Nashville with Columbia HCA to discuss the results and application of the tests run in Indiana. I know the results were in the words of one of my sources spectacular!! This system can start to save them 1000s of dollars a day.CCA is also talking to them. Correctiion Corp of America they privately run 65 penal insts.This is instant revenue!!!!! So we have a double edged sword here. Ozone is a major paradigm change ( love that word) for these industries but so was the tank when it replaced the horse. The differences will become obvious as the competitors start to change the rest will follow. "Build the field,they will come!!!" Crown Plaza in Atlanta is the hotel refered to.I think the momentum is going to start in this field and I think it will have a greated impact than the other ,however I WANT THEM BOTH! Food for thought Jim

To ALL: USA TODAY Getting Ad of the bugs with rays, gas and heat

Scientists and entrepreneurs are proposing a variety of ways to separate bacteria and other bad bugs from food and beverages. These include:

ú Steam pasteurization. Already in use in some meat processing operations, in which whole beef carcasses are suspended and passed through a steam cabinet where they're blasted for a few seconds with steam. This kills nearly all microbes on the surface.

~ Flash pasteurization. A process adopted after an out-break of E. cold poisoning last year traced to fresh apple cider, is a rapid, brief heating of juice that kills bacteria without significantly altering flavor or nutrients.

Also in development are vaccines to protect poultry from salmonella and a strategy called "competitive exclusion" in which poultry or cattle are exposed to benign bacteria that crowd out more dangerous microbes.

But one of the new proposals for sanitizing food is the use of a gas most often associated with environmental hazards: ozone. Produced by lightning in the atmosphere, where it protects humans from ultraviolet rays, or in car engines, where it gets mixed with hydrocarbons to cause smog, ozone can also sanitize water, food and medical supplies.

Long used in the United States to disinfect bottled water and municipal water systems, ozone was not approved for use on food here until last summer, when the Food and Drug Administration officially declared it safe.

Advocates say ozone is faster and more effective at kill-ing disease causing microbes than chlorine, and a lot safer.

Ozone is commercially produced by passing air through an electric arc, creating a gas that is then dispersed in wa-ter. Food scientists say when it is properly used-evenly dispersed through water at high enough concentration-it destroys bacteria, viruses, molds and fungus.

Currently, food processors use chlorine washes or sprays on food, especially poultry and produce, but there have been concerns about health and environmental hazards from chlorinated hydrocarbon byproducB and chlorine gas. Ozone's only byproduct is oxygen, says Bill Stoddard, president of Cyclopss Corp., a Utah company that makes ozone-generation equipment.

"Ozone's real place is in the processing of fresh fruits and vegetables and fresh mead," Stoddard says. It can "replace a number of dangerous chemical processes with a chemical that does a superior job with no environmental impact."
