The Use of Ozone as a Disinfectant in Fish Hatcheries and Fish Farms
An ideal method of disinfecting water is by ozonation in a contact tank
prior to use. Ozone is a very powerful bactericide and viricide and, unlike other agents, it leaves no undesirable residues. The latest available
advanced ozone technology, which will enhance efficiency and be environmentally beneficial, now lies within the reach of all
operators. (PDF - 14kb) |

Ozone Better Than Chlorine In
Catfish Processing |
|
Ozone, the unstable form of oxygen created by lightning bolts during
a thunderstorm, also has the capacity to be harnessed in making
catfish processing plants cleaner and in doubling the shelf life of
catfish. |

Ozone in BOD Treatment and as Flocculating Agent
This study was conducted at a Fortune 500 poultry processing plant. The
results of this study showed a reduction in total phosphates by 14%. Additionally, ozone was able to flocculate the suspended solids allowing
them to be removed by a carbon filter. (PDF - 2kb) |

Ozonation of Swine Manure Wastes
The results of this study demonstrate clearly that at the pH values studied, ozonation is effective for the
elimination of the malodors associated with stored swine slurry and for killing potentially pathogenic bacteria,
without increasing the concentrations of major pollutants of current concern, and
without oxidizing ammonia, which is a major plant nutrient. (PDF -
