Solución eficiente para la eliminación de olores
USE OF OZONE IN DEODORIZATION TOWERS (SCRUBBER)
Ozone is a gas used in gas scrubbers and deodorization towers, primarily to eliminate odors and reduce volatile organic compounds. Ozone has a high oxidation potential, and when injected into the scrubber tower, it mixes with the gases, reacting with all types of chemical compounds, reducing, oxidizing, and transforming them into degraded compounds. In most cases, this results in a significant reduction in odor and VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
Its installation is very simple, and ozone is neither stored nor transported—it is generated on-site from the air we breathe and applied instantly. Its operation is automatic and does not require manual labor. All these advantages make ozone a great ally for getting the most out of your gas scrubber or deodorization tower.
Ozone is used in washing and deodorization towers to eliminate odors, volatile organic compounds, and hydrogen sulfide.

Advantages of Using Ozone in Deodorization Towers

Total reduction of chemicals
Depending on the type of compounds to be removed in the air stream entering the scrubber, ozone can eliminate the need for any chemical used in the removal of organic compounds.

Effective odor elimination
Ozone removes compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, mercaptans, volatile organic compounds, etc. These are the main culprits of odor problems in deodorization towers.

Powerful and fast oxidant
The high oxidizing capacity of ozone helps with the rapid oxidation of organic compounds. In just a few seconds, it is capable of eliminating these compounds.

Improved scrubber efficiency
The deodorization system becomes a more efficient system where labor is reduced since there is no need to handle or replenish chemicals. Additionally, water purges are reduced.

Reduced gas emissions
By eliminating the chemicals required for deodorization, a large amount of gaseous emissions is reduced.

Simultaneous air and water disinfection
The scrubber ozonation technique allows ozone gas to be applied both to the exhaust air and to the shower water.
