Ozonated water systems are available in
handwashing sinks, mobile portable ozonated water generators, and in-line skid
systems. Some of the portable ozonated water units have been used to clean
walls, tanks, filling lines, floors, and the actual solution or powder
processing line. Some companies have found cost savings by using this
technology in place of other sporicidal cleaners due to the reduced cost, no
residues, and no corrosiveness. Additionally, the only ongoing cost for the ozonated
water system is replacement of a few items as part of the yearly maintenance,
and the use of purified water to operate the system.
This is an extract from a new article by
Jeanne Moldenhaurer for Controlled Environments. In the article Jeanne calls on
a new paradigm for cleaning and disinfection, pointing out that cleaning and
disinfection technologies have advanced ahead of the practices adopted by the
pharmaceutical sector and that to safeguard predicts and environments account
needs to be taken of what is currently available.
