PATENTS

Data to be collected

1. Summary of the development (main points and scientific and technical novelty of the development, unique features and novelty of the suggested investigation. Fields of application). What is the purpose of the final product or technology? What are new possibilities for customers? What problems of customers will be solved?

Ozone is represented as active oxygen. With it help disappears an unpleasant smell and germs. Difficulties for the production of ozone and its high cost causes slowdown for its wide use. On the other hand the need to use ozone, still manifests itself in everyday life.

Ozone fully affect microorganisms and eliminates them produces disinfection. Ozone divides part of organic and non organic molecules and oxidizes them. With the help of this quality smells gone (deodorant quality). When with help of the oxidation of toxic gases begins thinners evaporation of natural metals (Fe, Mn) and  ozone prevents from them. Ozone also connects the cigarette smoke, fine powders and nano-particles and removes from the environment.

With our technology the price of device and energy consumption for ozone production  is very low. Therefore the product is highly cost-effective and competitive.

The purpose of the technology is creating hybrid ozone generator, the beginning and the introduction of low-yield production, production and introduction in the relevant industry, where there is the most demand.

We offer our customers effective solutions to all the problems that are unavailable or unprofitable for them.

For our customers appear efficient ways to produce environmentally friendly products and long-term storage opportunity, revitalizing sectors such as processing manganese production, meeting the challenges of unemployment and lack of competitiveness of products.

2.   Brief comparison with available home and foreign analogs or with those under development with respect to fields of application, technical parameters, environmental parameters, cost, etc.

Today the prices of equipment in the world existing technology for the production of ozone or  disinfection facilities are four times (300%) more highly than our equipment,  also 3-4 times high energy consumption and not rugged, durable, than our devices. Therefore our technology mainly uses the know-how of materials, the product is highly cost effective, durable and competitive.

Ozone is eco-friendly product, gas is presented as having the power of high oxidation, the strongest means for disinfection. Ozone prevents from PH. When comparing with the strength of oxidation with other separators and ozone’s 99.99% quality of high concentration bacteria elimination, it is much efektive in the following cases:

·         25 times more efficiently than HOCl (hypochlorite acid);

·         2 500 times more efficiently than OCl (hypochlorite);

·         5000 times more efficiently than NH2Cl (chloramine);

As a means for disinfection, ozone at least 10 times more efficiently than chlorine and works without residue. Ozone may at any time and in any form, divide into parts all types of organic substances. Floor time decay of ozone is 22 minutes, after it becomes oxygenated and leaves no residue. Ozone is also active oxygen, prevents bacteria, provides disinfection and sterilization.

field of application :

·      To disinfect water ((tanks, springs, pools, aquariums, water supply systems, drinking water, bottled water, polluted water - In these areas, our technology already used in Georgia) , cleaning nitrates and amoniuma, cleaning iron-manganese).

·      Manufacture of food products and long-term storage (meat, fish, Poultry production, processing, storing and freezing cameras, processing of vegetables, fruits and spices, plants, food industry, beekeeping and as a substitute for poison-chemicals - In these areas, our technology already used in Georgia).

·      Chemical processing of carbonate ores of manganese (increase productivity by 20-25%, while the loss of manganese are reduced to 15-20%, characterized by high quality (98.8%), Mn and high profitability, is required for melting special steel). We already negotiate and aimed to implement our technology in Georgia

·      Cooling towers (University, restaurant -  (Our technology already used ),hotels, residences, schools, offices, schools, institutes, cafes-bars, clubs, cinemas, theaters, food store after the fire).

·      Medicine (Sterilization, treatment (zone therapy) In these areas, our technology already used in Georgia).

·      To disinfect clothing (hospitals, hotels, military barracks, residential houses).

3.      What is known about investigations performed in the same field at present (name of the work,     year, authors, institution, etc.)?
