Pacific Ozone Featured on World Business
Review.
A recent segment of World Business Review, hosted by
Alexander Haig, focused on the benefits of using ozone
as an alternative to water and air purification. Pacific
Ozone presented the technology they provide to the
market, addressing this very important issue.
Brian Johnson, Pacific Ozone president, noted, "Pacific
Ozone Technology is a complete ozone partner to users
who need ozone as an integral part of their industrial
process. We don't just sell ozone generators-we supply
ozone know-how and expertise that help our customers
succeed with their ozone application. In addition, we
work closely with customers who have unique
applications and needs, ensuring they get a solution that
works properly and efficiently. We offer thoughtful service
and support not only to our established worldwide

customer base, but also to others who have an
application requiring an ozone solution."
The paid video gives a very positive impression of the
ozone industry. The video can still be viewed on the World
Business Review website, www.wbrtv.com. The ozone
video can be found in Show #1609, last segment.
Applications for ozone in food processing
abound
As reported in the July 2005 edition of Water
Technology magazine, industry experts say the
potential use of ozone in food-processing industries is
likely to grow over time as food processors become
more familiar with the technology and its capabilities.
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has
identified the following as some of the emerging
applications:
1. Eggs. Sanitize whole shell eggs to eliminate potentially
pathogenic bacteria.
2. Fruits and vegetables. Treat pre-process wash water for
fruits and vegetables.
3. Poultry. Sanitize poultry chiller water to reduce
potential pathogenic bacteria, and recondition
overflow water for recycling and reuse (within US
Department of Agriculture guidelines).
4. Wineries. Sanitize cold water, replacing traditional hot
water and harsh chemical sanitation methods.
5. Grain. Using ozone as a substitute for chlorinated
water to control bacteria and mold in grain
processing.
6. Fish. Treatment of water in aquaculture tanks greatly
reduces foaming even without purifying the water.
7. Seafood. Using ozone for seafood processing
applications, including shellfish depuration, fish
pumps, fillet-line spray bars and surimi mixing tanks.

Note: The IOA is offering a CD which gives
applications case studies on many of the above uses
of ozone. For more details see pg. 17.
