EDMONTON, May 21 /CNW/ - Seair Inc. (SDS:TSX Venture Exchange) is pleased to announce the successful testing and subsequent sale of a system designed to ensure spinach grown and packaged in California is free of potentially harmful bacteria. The system, which was designed and installed by Ozone Science Design, a Seair distributor, applies ozone saturated water directly to the spinach and related processing equipment during packaging. Testing confirmed the system ensures no potentially harmful bacteria, such as E. coli, is present in spinach shipped to customers. In addition, the processing equipment remains cleaner during use and, therefore, less sanitization is required at the end of production runs.
The key to this application is Seair's ability to produce 5 micron micro-bubbles of ozone gas. Ozone is an extremely powerful oxidant, but unless small bubble size is consistently achieved too much ozone is lost in off-gassing to make ozone economically viable in commercial scale operations. Seair's micro-bubbles create a stable supersaturate solution where ozone off-gassing is minimized and oxidation is maximized.
About Seair
Seair is a leading developer of patent-protected diffusion and sterilization technologies, which allow for the efficient diffusion of gases into liquids, thereby facilitating numerous applications in a wide variety of industries, including wastewater treatment, pulp and paper production, food processing, aquaculture, agriculture/horticulture, sterilization, golf course irrigation and pond treatment, animal enhancement and oil and gas. Seair's primary focus is developing and selling equipment that diffuses gases, such as oxygen, ozone or carbon dioxide, into a liquid, resulting in a supersaturated solution. The major difference between Seair's and others' diffusion technologies is Seair's ability to achieve extremely small bubble size, which in turn allows for the mass transfer of gas to fluid. The result is a stable condition, where gases remain in solution for extended periods of time, leading to increased productivity and lower operating costs. Seair provides diffusion-enhanced portable wastewater treatment plants through its subsidiary, Seair Septic.
