What is Ozone?
Ozone (O3) is an unstable gas formed by combining three atoms of oxygen. Ozone is produced when oxygen module (O2) are split into two oxygen atom combines with remaining oxygen molecule forming Ozone; three atoms of oxygen together combine to form Ozone.
In nature, Ozone can be naturally produced from oxygen by the action of ultraviolet rays from the sun appering in ozonosphere and by lighting during thunderstorm.
Nowadays, Ozone is commercially produced by copying the phenomenon in high voltage system called "Corona Discharge" where oxygen molecules around conductor of high voltage system are broken to be oxygen atoms by high electrical field density. Consequently, Ozones are created by the combination of oxygen molecules and atoms.
Ozone Applications

Benefits of Ozone
- Water saving by reduction of blow-down water
- Electricity saving by operating chiller with clean condenser
- Mitigating bacteria, viruses and mold causing biofilm and Legionnaire's disease
- Biological control mitigating scale, slime and sludge
- Corrosion reduction from biofilm
- Environment conservation by avoiding chemical usage
- Low maintenance cost from cleaning of condenser, basin and fitting
- Production loss reduction during maintenance
