Ozone International Cold Storage: A science-based solution to reduce decay, control ripening, and increase shelf life
Ideal commodities:

Concerns about food-safety, control of decay and ripening, and extending shelf life without depending on harmful chemicals have driven increased demand for safe, proven food storage alternatives such as ozone. The patented, science-based solution from Ozone International generates ozone from oxygen in the air on-site and delivers defined, low-dose, specific concentrations of gaseous ozone into the atmosphere, for use as a powerful but safe disinfectant in controlled atmosphere (CA) and regular atmosphere (RA) storage rooms.

Ozone International Cold Storage kills airborne and surface microorganisms, shuts down the sporulation process, and consumes ethylene produced by ripening. After oxidizing microorganisms, ozone immediately reverts to pure oxygen, leaving no residue and maintaining taste, texture and smell characteristics in the product’s natural state. Growers, packers, and processors are able to extend product life and marketability, as well as decrease decay losses of fresh produce naturally. Ozone can be used alone or as a complementary measure with various post-harvest preservation techniques.

Distributed Ozone Solution With Integrated Control, Monitoring, And Support

Ozone International Cold Storage includes everything you need to have an effective and safe food storage solution without hidden or unexpected costs. Ozone International Cold Storage provides distributed ozone generation and control with a patented ozone generator, ozone monitors, and a local programmable logic controller (PLC). The integrated PLC and ozone monitors provide closed-loop control that ensures optimum safety and efficacy. Centralized monitoring is achieved through an integrated wireless network to a local monitoring station. Ozone International’s Intellipur informatics service provides powerful reporting, alarming, and remote troubleshooting anywhere you are, worldwide, via the Internet.

Simple Installation

Installation of the Ozone International Cold Storage solution is simple and will get you up and running quickly. Generators are wall mounted and plug into a standard 120V outlet. Integrated wireless networking eliminates wires between generators and your local monitoring station. Generators are air cooled, eliminating plumbing and maintenance issues that come with water-cooled solutions. An air-preparation subsystem is included in the generator, so no extra plumbing necessary to connect to an external compressor or house air.

Compare the Value
PROPERTY VARIOUS FUNGICIDES OZONE INTERNATIONAL COLD STORAGE
Mold Control Resistant mold strains could build-up. All types of mold; mold is oxidized and cannot become resistant to ozone
Ethylene Control NO Converts ethylene to water and carbon dioxide (process is outside the fruit).
Residue on Fruit YES NO
Dosage / Application  Typically a drench application Ozone is applied continuously thus controlling mold and ethylene constantly
Regulatory Compliance Discharge must be hauled away No EPA record keeping required. Requires fire code compliance

Intellipur: Monitoring, Supervisory Control, and Informatics

Ozone International becomes a true partner in operational process control and monitoring by providing the Cold Storage Monitor subscription service called "Intellipur". Ozone International Cold Storage Monitor provides a next-generation service that includes strict operational control, web-based data historian, diagnostic monitoring, reporting, and automated alarming.

Centralized Facility Overview
Easily monitor your entire facility—including multiple buildings and rooms—from a single screen, anywhere in the world via the Internet. Easily scan which rooms are operating as expected or in alarm state. Scan ozone levels and operational status for your entire facility.


Room Status Monitor and Reporting

See detailed status for each room, including exact ozone levels, operational, and communications network status. View 24-hour ozone trend in the room as well as current control mode and operational control recipe. Detailed room reports can easily be created for any historical period. Active alarms are indicated as well as detailed logs of alarms, events, and audit records.


Operational Status Alarming

Operational alarms are sent via e-mail and are reflected in the Cold Storage Monitor to immediately indicate any unexpected operational conditions so they can quickly be remedied ensuring valuable produce is kept fresh at all times. All active alarms are indicated on the Overview, Status, and Logs pages and are monitored by the Ozone International Command Center enabling both you and Ozone International  to quickly take action.
