At Oxidation Technologies, we specialize in servicing any ozone equipment in any condition <\/a>\u2014 even when they\u2019ve been sitting idle for months or years. Recently, we had the opportunity to help a meat processing plant in Sioux Center get their ozone system back up and running after it had been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This particular ozone system was built by Ozone Solutions, Inc.\u00a0 and installed at a pork processing plant <\/a>for use in a carcass chiller.\u00a0 This system was installed with the intention to dissolve ozone in chilled water sprayed on carcasses in the cooler.\u00a0 This provides an antimicrobial intervention for the carcasses through the ozone water sprayed on the carcasses while cooling carcasses faster due to chilled and eliminating any potential shrink.\u00a0 The overall application was good, however the ozone system was never able to operate due to start-up issues that could not be overcome by the equipment manufacturer or the plant personnel.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we first arrived on site, our goal was simple: evaluate the existing system, get it as close to startup-ready as possible, and give the customer a clear path forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Initial Visit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During our first few hours on site, we started the system, checked each component, and identified several key issues that needed to be corrected before handing over operation to the customer. The good news? The installation, water plumbing, and points of ozone use all looked very good \u2014 the foundation for a reliable system was already there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what we found and planned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
