Ozone (O₃) is used to treat the odorous air. Ozone is a natural product created by lightning and by sunlight (in the presence of volatile hydrocarbons and nitric oxides). Ozone can be thought of as nature’s reaction to foul air and is its method of removing the pollutants from the foul air.

Ozone is a powerful oxidant, second only to fluoride in oxidation potential among naturally occurring products. It reacts with odors by giving up an oxygen atom in a chemical reaction. Hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, and amines are oxidized to sulfur, methyl sulfonix acid, and amine oxides, respectively, plus carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen. All of these compounds/products are saturated and are not odoriferous.

Since ozone cannot be stored (it reverts to oxygen (O₂) in a few minutes), it is generated on-site by the BiO₃ Air Treatment System. The system is customized to deliver an appropriate amount of ozone to normalize the odorous air at peak conditions.

Global Pollution Control, Inc. primarily sells customized odor-free applications on a service fee basis rather than ozone generators. It makes some of the ozone generators it uses in its application and leases or buys others. Hence, BIO₃ does not have a product line of standard ozone generators.

That said, BIO₃ from time to time will build and sell customized ozone generators for a unique application.
