Ozonated water is one such technology that’s helping us fight against the virus until a vaccine is safe and easily accessible. There have been studies that provide proof for effective prevention approaches to fighting Covid-19. One of the major strategies to prevent coronavirus from spreading is to regularly disinfect our homes, workplaces, and public places. Ozonated water is a disinfection method that is far superior to chemical agents and equally effective against the Covid-19 virus.

Common Methods for Indoor Disinfection

Studies show that the new coronavirus infects people through respiratory droplets. An infected person’s cough can send infectious respiratory droplets flying as far as six feet. Therefore, it is vital to have a reliable and efficient air disinfection method to disinfect these high-risk areas.

The most common air disinfection method uses ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Yet, UV light has limited penetration capacity as UV radiation can only disinfect air close to the lamps. Another well-known air cleaning method is to employ a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. It is effective in reducing airborne bacteria in the air, though not effective in removing viruses, as it can only trap bacteria with a size bigger than 0.3 microns, thus, these disinfection methods are not ideal for the disinfection of Covid-19 contaminated areas. 

Chemical disinfectants have been known to be used for disinfection. Nevertheless, these chemicals are usually difficult to decompose, leaving harmful residues that are dangerous to human health.

On the other hand, ozone disinfection has been commonly used in hospitals to disinfect equipment and significantly reduce or eliminate the spread of bacteria. Ozone is a well-known powerful disinfectant for its ability to kill microorganisms effectively. It has penetration capacity and powerful oxidizing powers that make its disinfection efficiency superior to UV radiation and HEPA filters. And as ozone reverts back to oxygen, it leaves no chemical residues after the reaction. But can ozone disinfection also kill the coronavirus that causes Covid-19?

Can Ozone Disinfection Kill Covid-19?

There are reliable reports showing that ozone sanitation can kill Covid-19. But even before the pandemic of 2020, ozone sanitation was employed to sanitize environments infected with SARS-CoV-1 during the SARS epidemic of 2003. Since SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes the Covid-19 is also a member of the Coronavirus family-like SARS-CoV-1, it is not surprising that ozone sanitization is effective at eliminating Covid-19 and has the potential to bring widespread relief to those who deploy it at home and in workspaces.  

In fact, a recent study published last month from Fujita Health University, Japan, announced that they found low concentrations of ozone of 0.05-0.1 ppm, which is harmless to humans, can neutralize Covid-19 cells, potentially providing an effective way for hospitals to disinfect examination rooms and waiting areas during the pandemic. Researchers used an ozone generator in a closed room with Covid-19 samples. After 10 hours of releasing ozonated mist into the room, the virus’s potential for infection dropped by more than 90 percent. 

How Does Ozone Sanitization Kill Covid-19?

Ozone (O3) is a reactive element consisting of three atoms of oxygen. It is reactive because it will readily degrade back to its stable state, diatomic oxygen (O2) with the formation of free oxygen atoms or free radicals. The free oxygen atoms or radicals are highly reactive and will oxidize almost anything (including viruses, bacteria, organic and inorganic compounds) in contact, making ozone an enormously powerful disinfectant and oxidizer. 

Ozone can be produced by an electrolytic ozone generator. Once ozone is produced, it reacts with a pollutant and breaks it down into less complex molecules via a process called oxidation. The new coronavirus is considered an “enveloped virus”, which is usually more responsive to physicochemical challenges. Ozone destroys this type of virus by diffusing over the outer shell into the core, thereby destroying the viral RNA. Ozone by higher concentration can also destroy the outer shell by oxidation. 

How Can We Produce Ozone?

Ozone cannot be stored because of the short half-life and must be produced on-site and on-demand. Therefore, an ozone generator is the most critical component of a successful ozone system.

The electrolytic method is the safest way to produce ozone with higher purity. In this process, water is introduced to the anode side of the electrolysis cell, electrolytically decomposed, and converted to ozone. Through this method, in addition to gaining ozone in higher concentrations, the amount of gas aeration is also small, achieving the advantages of safety and low cost of post-processing.

The Biolux Space Sanitizer System Plus (SSS+) uses advanced electrolysis technology to convert water into high concentration ozone mist. Ozone is safely mixed and misted into the environment for air and surface sanitation.

The SSS+ can provide a safe low-concentration ozone of 0.05 to 0.1 ppm, which complies with the OSHA occupational safety regulations of the United States and can be used as a humidifier. This system is ideal for families with babies, toddlers, and the elderly especially in the current pandemic as they’re the most vulnerable group when facing the Covid-19 virus.

Offices, hotels, and vets require more than just regular hand washing to keep themselves and customers safe. They need a continuous disinfection system that can eliminate COVID-19. One that performs it’s job non-stop but is also harmless to us. Ozone mist does just that.

Ozone Mist: A Covid-19 Terminator

Ozone is proven to be an effective Covid-19 disinfectant in low concentrations. According to researchers at Fujita Health University, ozone in concentrations of 0.05 to 0.1 ppm can neutralize COVID-19 particles while remaining harmless to humans. Based on these results, researchers suggested that low concentration ozone can be applied to hospital settings, such as waiting and examination rooms.

Apart from its powerful disinfectant qualities, ozone is also a strong odor remover. Ozone reacts with odor molecules and, through oxidation, eliminates these odor molecules. As soon as this oxidation happens, the ozone transforms into pure water, leaving the air odor-free and chemical-free.

Benefits of Constant Ozone Disinfection

Continuous ozone mist disinfection can ensure that viral levels in the room are consistently minimized. The determining factor of whether a person falls sick from Covid-19 is the viral loads present in that person. That is the actual amount of Covid-19 virus in a person’s body. By minimizing environmental virus count, we can minimize the chance of contracting Covid-19. With ozone’s odor-removing qualities, misting continuously also ensures fresh air for optimal staff productivity and a better customer experience.

An Ideal System for a Safe and Fresh Environment

The BioSure Space Sanitizer System Plus (SSS+) is a disinfection machine and humidifier that uses patented electrolytic oxidation technology to produce a safe, moisturized ozone mist that keeps rooms well disinfected and odorless.

What Is Electrolytic Ozone?

Electrolytic ozone is a cutting-edge, patented technology that produces ozone from normal water without creating any by-products. This ozone is a strong disinfectant that kills 99.99% of harmful microorganisms, including COVID-19. During this process, toxic inorganic compounds are also eliminated by oxidation. Ozone from this process releases turns back into oxygen, resulting in sanitized water with inactive oxidized pathogens.

Chemical-Free and Safe

The Biosure SSS Plus provides low-concentration ozone that is harmless to humans. It is safe for toddlers as well as the elderly. It works by distributing this low-concentration ozone into the air in mist form, reaching all corners of a room and providing blanket disinfection for space. As an extra precaution, the system will also automatically shut down when people get too close.

In addition to these built-in safety designs, the Biosure SSS Plus runs solely on water and electricity. The ozone produced using this method releases no nitrogen oxides or any other chemical by-products. All of these advantages make the Biosure SSS Plus the safest, simplest, and most environmentally friendly way of sanitizing a room or space.

Ozone Mist is Effective and Efficient

The Biosure SSS Plus can effectively sanitize up to 150 square meters, the size of the average lobby or waiting area. The ozone produced by this system can remove bacteria and viruses at a rate 3000 times faster than chlorine. According to studies, ozone is effective at killing COVID-19 in especially humid environments, another reason the Biosure SSS Plus features a humidification function. While ozone freshens the air up, the machine humidifies the room, helping beef up the ozone mist’s potency. 

A Safe and Comfortable Space for Your Staff and Customers

A cleaner space means better health for employees and customers. Business owners have a responsibility to do their best to keep employees and customers safe during the pandemic. Keeping the workplace disinfected and staff healthy ensures business can run as usual.

Ozone for Offices

Offices are one of the most high-risk environments to catch COVID-19. An average office worker spends eight hours in the office in close contact with dozens of people. Office sick leave chains can easily start without a reliable and thorough sanitizing system to constantly disinfect the office. Implementing ozone mist in office meeting rooms and elevators can help ensure the health and productivity of employees. 

Ozone for Hotels

Ozone mist is a perfect solution for hotel sanitization in central kitchens, guest rooms, lobbies, and other areas where guests and staff congregate. With the Biosure SSS Plus, not only can ozone mist reduce the number of pathogens in your hotel rooms, but it also provides fresh and humidified air for guests. It also has a boost mode that produces a higher concentration of ozone mist. The boost mode allows for a deep cleanse after guests leave.

Ozone for Veterinary Clinics

Veterinary centers can significantly benefit from an odor-removing and humidifying disinfection system in their practices. The Biosure SSS Plus can pump out low concentration ozone mist continuously. The ozone dose is safe for vets, animals, and pet parents. Employing the system in veterinary centers can eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and odors that pets can be prone to spreading.
