The Power of Ozone

Ozone is a remarkably effective, broad-based, antiviral and antibacterial agent when applied at high levels. Because it is a reactive gas, ozone reaches everywhere air currents travel, and can effectively treat all surfaces, including the nooks and crannies that standard cleaning practices miss. Additionally, ozone is very safe when treatments are closely monitored and professionally conducted in unoccupied spaces. Ozone leaves no chemical residue behind because it converts back into clean, breathable oxygen after the treatment. Ozone treatments are 100% safe, and ozone is currently being used to treat the food we eat and the water we drink. Considered one of nature's most powerful oxidizing agents, ozone destroys bacteria through a process known as cell lysis.

So why not just purchase your own ozone generator online and do your own treatments?

Truth be told, it takes a lot of ozone; much more than non-commercial ozone generators can create. The ozone level must be pushed to a level of 25ppm (minimum) to be an effective antiviral and antibacterial agent (this is known as ozone shock; similar to chlorine shocking a swimming pool). Such machines are commercial-grade and cost-prohibitive for personal use. Also, ozone needs to be monitored to ensure it meets 25 ppm. Professional ozone meters with data-logging capabilities are also extremely expensive. Lastly, it takes training and knowledge. Such powerful ozone generators in the wrong hands can do more harm than good! Stat Sanitizing is ozone certified by the National Ozone Association, as well as BOI Environmental.

It is a major task to push ozone levels over 25ppm at all reaches of a building. Ozone does not spread evenly (a little knowledge that is rarely, if ever, shared on websites selling ozone generators to the public). The inconsistencies in the field are many, and using a consumer-grade ozone generator is not going to work for most situations. You may reach a good measurement within a few feet of your ozone generator, but it will significantly drop the further you get. Also, there’s a fair number of ozone generators on the market that tend to overstate the amount of ozone the machine generates.

Stat Sanitizing uses commercial ozone generators of the highest quality. We have ozone generators capable of creating 200,000 mg/hr (most non-professional ozone generators average anywhere from 10,000 to 40,000 mg/hr). We use numerous commercial-grade axial air movers to ensure even and effective ozone spread. We constantly utilize ozone gas meters to record the actual ppm treatment, and the entire treatment is data-logged for verification. We safely and effectively reach the appropriate ozone levels to do the job right, and we provide you with scientific proof that these levels were achieved.
