Tamil Nadu-based Agribusiness Incubation Society develops
OzGen18 (Ozone Disinfectant)
OzGen18 (Ozone Disinfectant) is
a third generation dielectric barrier
discharge technology which can
disinfect bacteria, viruses, fungi, and
moulds on the produce and meat by
discharging ozone on the surface. It
will purify water and remove pesticides
and germicides from vegetables and
fruits (produce). OzGen18 can be
used as an excellent air purifier. This
device also eliminates odours, reduces
levels of airborne allergens, and also
removes the wax coating on the fruits.
It is portable and ready to plug in as it
comes from the box. Its effectiveness
depends on the amount of ozone that
is dispersed and allowed to contact the vegetables and fruits (for removing pesticides) and ambient air.
