Combining O3T’s unique patent pending Ultra Fine Bubble technology
with the application of Ozone to create the ultimate hydration system for horticulture.
The Challenge
Water is critical when growing fruit and vegetables, however the addition of water can introduce a range of bacteria to your produce, elevating your total viable count.
Although most consumers rinse their salad, it will rarely undergo any cooking process, meaning any bacteria present will be ingested. A high bacterial count will also potentially reduce your product shelf life and could lead to product complaints. All can lead to increased costs for the food producer.
To counteract this, chemicals are often added to the irrigation supply reduce the bacterial load, but these can be harmful to humans and their use is increasingly being being restricted through legislations.
Our Solution - O3X
O3X combines O3T’s Ultra Fine Bubble technology with ozone to create a revolutionary system. This distinct combination has many applications and benefits for food producers, including a reduction of the microbial count within the water supply, the control of biofilms and even an increase in the oxygen supply to plant roots.
So how does it work? The addition of ozone will cause lysis of microbial cell walls, giving you a safe, eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to chemical disinfectants. O3X is effective with bacteria, viruses and moulds.
The benefits of O3X are considerable. Our system delivers dissolved ozone within water using a precise automatic and programmable pH control system, which is very stable, safe and easy to dispense. Furthermore, once the ozone hits the surface of the produce it disseminates leaving no further trace or residual chemicals. By replacing your chemical disinfectants with O3X you also remove the need to manage the supply chain and storage of those chemicals too.
