How does ozone eliminate odor?
Ozone is defined as O3, meaning ozone has three molecules of oxygen. We breath O2, oxygen. An ozone generator machine will convert O2 into O3, giving the air one more molecule of oxygen. These three molecules of oxygen (ozone) combine with the odor and when the ozone (O3) converts (known as half life) back to O2, the odor is oxidized (burnt up, destroyed) with the loss of the third oxygen molecule. Ozone is very powerful in destroying odors and can even be harmful to us in large quantities. Caldecon uses an industrial combination oxygen/ozone generator to produce oxygen which is then fed to an ozone generator which then produces ozone fed into your property. Ozone converts very quickly back to oxygen, about a 30 minute half life. Ozone shock treatments are used in a variety of applications, such as mold remediation, fire and soot deodorization and remediating the “dead man” odor always present at the scene of an “unattended death”. An ozone environment will also not contain any oxygen
