About Aclarus

Aclarus ~ Clean & Clear

What Is Ozone:

Fastest, Strongest, Safest Method Of Water Treatment. Made From Oxygen, Breaks Down To Oxygen.

Aclarus Ozone Offer 3-in-1 PLUS Systems:

Disinfection - (Bacterial, Virus, Cysts, Organics, Algae)

Oxidation - (Iron, Manganese, Lead, Sulphur)

Aesthetic - (Tannin/Colour, Taste, Smell)

Emerging Contaminants Concern - Safely Treats Compounding Micropollutants(E.G. Pesticide, Hormones, Drugs And More).

Typical Use In Breweries

Primary Treatment – Incoming Water For Brewing

Sanitation & CIP – Chemical Free, Cold Water Sanitation

Wastewater & Water Reuse – Treat Water To Discharge Guideline Or Reuse

Ozone Treatment Process

Generating Ozone is Only Part of The

Solution - Mixing and Control Are Critical to Maximize Efficiency

and Treatment.

• Ozone Is Created Onsite Using A Generator Using Ambient Air/Oxygen Generator

• Ozone Is Then Drawn Into The System Through And Injector And Thoroughly Mixed

• Using Integrated Controls, The Required Ozone Dose Is Applied Offering Consistent Quality.

• Ozone For Incoming Water Is Filtered And Ozone Removed, Bottled Quality

• Ozone Remains At A Set Dose For Cleaning And CIP Using Only Cold Water, No Final Rinse.

• Wastewater Will Treat And Break Down To Oxygen For Safe Discharge Or Reuse

How Does Ozone Treat

Treatment Process

• Ruptures Bacteria, Viruses & Cysts Killing Them Quickly

• Oxidizes Iron, Manganese & Lead And Takes Them From A Dissolved State To Larger Particles That The Filters Can Catch.

• Treats The Aesthetics Of Water Such As Colour, Odour And Taste

• Breaks Down Harsh Contaminants Like Many Pesticides, Drug Medicines And Chemicals That Are Becoming An Emerging Concern

7

Safety Considerations

Ozone is as safe or safer than chemicals and other treatments when designed and

used properly.

• Safety With Ozone Is As Important As Any Chemical

• Preventing Safety Issues Starts With System Design

• Ambient Ozone Monitors To Ensure Safe Levels In Rooms

• Degas & Ozone Destruct To Remove Any Excess Ozone

• Material In Contact With Ozone Should Be Compliant

• Stainless, PVC, PEX, Viton, EPDM Are Ok

• Copper, Rubber, Iron, Not Ok

• Consult With Ozone Designer To Ensure Safety Features And Facility Compatibility.

Ozone Importance to the Industry

• Ozone Is An Important Multi-tool For Breweries Of Any Size To Save Water, Time And Costs.

• Treat Brewing Water, CIP Sanitation And Wastewater

• Ozone Is The Strongest But Most “Gentle” Disinfectant, With No Chemicals Or Residual

• Purify Incoming Water, Neutral Taste & pH, Bottled Quality On-Demand

• Uses Cold Water Saving Energy Costs And Requires No Final Rinse Saving Time.

• Disinfects & Removes Residual Flavor/Odour

• Used For Brewery Wastewater To Meet Regulations

Incoming Treatment

“one of the strongest commercially available oxidants, with a disinfecting strength 3,000 times that of

chlorine” (Onken 2013)

• Well, Surface Or Municipal Water Source for Consistent Brewing Water

• Ozone Will Treat To Premium Quality On-demand

• No Salt, Chemicals Required; Septic and Discharge Safe

• No Impact On pH Levels, No Residual - Breaks Down To Oxygen

• Suitable For Other Uses In The Facility And Can Reduce Costs For Soap,

Acid And Cleaners.

• Lowest Cost For Incoming Water Treatment Available

• Can Combine Incoming With A Separate CIP Line In Some Cases.

• All Natural, Classified Organic, Low Capex & Opex

CIP Sanitation

“ active against bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa…leaves no chemical residual and degrades to…oxygen” (Arranz et al 2007).

• Save Time, Water, Power And Reduce Chemical Costs

• Pre-approved By Health Canada For Cleaning For Multiple Purposes In Breweries.

• Surfaces (Equipment, Walls, Floors, Tables) As Well As Kegs, Bottles, Fermentation Tanks; Applied As A Final Rinse Sanitation To Treat Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi, & More.

• Cold Water Only, No Final Rinse Saving Time, Water And Power Costs, Quick ROI

Traditional Sanitation Process Vs Ozone

CIP Sanitation

“ active against bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa…leaves no chemical residual and degrades to…oxygen” (Arranz et al 2007).

• Ozone CIP Also Benefits Run-off Water To Reduce Contaminants, Keep Drain Lines Clear.

• Only Producing Oxygenated Water, It Is For Safe Discharge Without Concerns For Septic Or Municipal Systems.

• Ozone Offers An Ideal Reuse Option For Final Rinse In A Closed Loop Lessening Water Used And Wasted.

• Ozone Is Also A More Effective Pre-rinse And Can Be Used From Fresh Water Or Reused.

• Systems Are Easily Retrofitted Into Existing Facilities And Are Modular, To Allow Expansion When Required

Wastewater

“achieved up to 88% removal of COD, a maximum 68% removal of BOD5 and up to 75% removal of suspended solids”

Terry 2010

• Solution For Wastewater From Breweries To Help Both Costs And Regulatory Demands.

• Ozone Offers i) Improved Wastewater Discharge For Septic Or Municipal Or ii) For Safe Reuse For Non-potable.

• Cost Savings, Safety, Best Practice, Environmental Marketing Opportunities

Process – Critical Assessment Step

• Need To Assess The Wastewater Needs For Each Brewery, Design To Fit Through Testing And/Or Pilot. • Determine The Level Of Treatment And Ozone Required (E.G. Disinfection, BOD, COD, TSS Etc…). • Other Equipment May Be Added In Some Cases, Ozone Optimizes Them• No COD As Ozone Breaks Down To Oxygen, Works On BOD/COD, Metals, Bacteria, Colour And More.• With Ozone CIP reduced “at Least By 50% The Organic Load In The Cleaning Waste Waters Produced” (Canut).

• This Is Due To Ozone Not Contributing To COD And Its Ability To Treat Many Contaminants Prior To Discharge.

Cost Savings

• Common Misconception That Ozonation Is An Unaffordable.

• Modern Ozone Systems Are Found In A Wide Range Of Applications Including Industrial And

Municipal Facilities With To Low Operating Costs And Reliable Treatment.

• Research Shows The Savings For Breweries Of All Sizes

• Savings i) Water ii) Chemical iii) Energy.

• Can Reduce Amount Of Water Used/Discharged (50%)

• Reduce Or Eliminate Regulatory Overage Fees

Average Operating Costs of Aclarus Ozone System is 5-10cents/1000Litres treated.
