NoZone Ozone Destruction system This dual-filtration system from Corotec, which makes corona treatment technologies, eliminates excess ozone from lines, such as corona treatment stations and X-ray and E-beam sterilization lines, used in food packaging and medical device manufacturing. Also known as an ozone filter or ozone decomposer, the system eliminates the risk of ozone leaks — even at poor duct connections — by pulling ozone-laden air through a specially designed canister before it ever reaches the blower. The system’s catalytic reaction process destroys ozone molecules without degrading the catalyst. Optional monitoring tools include a manometer and ozone sensors.
What’s new? The availability of systems in a wide range of sizes, from 100 cubic feet per minute (cfm) to 7,500 cfm.
Benefits Thorough ozone removal to protect human health and equipment, as well as longer blower life. Unlike positive-pressure units that require high-pressure blowers and employ low-quality filters, the NoZone Ozone Destruction system uses a single off-the-shelf blower at the outlet side and a premium, long-life catalyst that makes change-outs almost entirely unnecessary. These design advantages lower operating costs, while allowing the system to reduce exhaust ozone to below 0.1 part per million (ppm).
