Our mission is to help the world improve its environment at lower cost and higher efficiency. We operate in those markets where it is possible to develop projects, or volumes of products, that satisfy the needs of hundreds of thousands of people. Among our initial targets, we have focused our attention on exclusive technologies applied to various products.

Evergreen Ozone is the result of many years of experience of a qualified, integrated team with specific engineering competencies. Our technologies not only guarantee excellent results, but place particular attention on respecting the environment.

The company produces and sells machinery, plants and systems for the treatment of air, water, surfaces, and food products through the use of traditional or innovative methods.

Evergreen’s solutions improve the management of microbiological risk. They simplify and guarantee conformity with all laws and regulations covering Hygiene Requirements & Certification: EMAS, ISO 14000, and Italian Law 155/97.

As is well known, ozone (the allotropic state of oxygen) is an unstable gas composed of trivalent oxygen (O2) which forms naturally in the atmosphere due to the irradiation of ultraviolet solar rays or due to electrical discharge produced during thunderstorms.

In the mountains, larger concentrations are perceptible to people through the sensation of freshness and cleanliness (healthy air). Ozone (O3) is thus a natural gas that does not leave any trace or chemical residue. Its elevated oxidizing power and its natural tendency to return to oxygen (O2) make it a product with high usage potential in many applications for the treatment of air and water, and in the food processing industry.

Ozone

Since 1982, ozone has been internationally recognized as a “safe gas” for use in the food industry by the FDA (see “GRAS”, US Food and Drug Administration). In fact, low concentrations and brief contact times are sufficient to destroy, or render inactive, bacteria, moulds, yeasts, parasites and viruses.

One of the challenges of the third millennium is represented by “microbiological safety”, and there are many risks in our daily lives which we normally underrate or are unaware of. Evergreen Ozone is determined to single out and reduce, or possibly eliminate, these risks.

Evergreen Ozone studies or customizes solutions for each of its client’s needs. Our main applications are the following:

• Air treatment;• Water treatment;• Treatment of food products.

Safety and wellbeing

Air treatment

The use of ozone in the air is a natural, effective and safe means to improve microbiological safety in interiors and on surfaces. It is ideal for eliminating bacteria, fungi, moulds, and viruses. Ozone attacks the various organic composites, oxidizing them. It can also be used to deodorize the air, in both public and private interiors. Countless numbers of bacteria and viruses are conveyed in the air via dust particles. They give rise to bad odors and diverse forms of allergies. With Evergreen Ozone systems, it is possible to inactivate them and obtain a sensation of freshness and well-being when indoors.

Our systems are ideal for obtaining these results at home, in the offi ce, at work, in health structures, in hotels, in shopping centers, in production and processing factory environments (for example controlled environment) and in crowded public spaces.

Management and microbiological control are very effectively carried out using: air treatment systems, filtration systems and air distribution canals for crowded spaces. These environments pose high risks of air contamination due to bacteria and viruses (for example Legionnaires’ disease).

The social cost and general malaise generated by the lack of maintenance of centralized air treatment systems is the cause of thousands of allergies and respiratory illnesses, etc. every year. Bacteria and viruses are present and they nest without control in air treatment installations at work and in public spaces.

Our systems are easy to install and manage and they are able to eliminate these risks, while increasing the output of the systems, thus reducing maintenance costs.

Evergreen Ozone has technical solutions applicable both to new installations as well as existing ones, which meet the UNI 14654 regulation that requires carrying out obligatory cleaning and maintenance to avoid the diffusion of contaminants in the spaces and in the rooms that receive the air flow.

Water treatment

The use of ozone in water dates back to the early 1900’s and the various applications and experiments which prove the deleterious effect of ozone on bacteria, fungi and viruses have been thoroughly studied and verified. For years, the EPA (the United States’ Environmental Protection Agency), one of the world’s leading authorities on the analysis and protection of the environment, has recognized ozone’s countless advantages, its high efficiency and its zero-impact on the environment.

Ozone is also very effective for disinfecting CIP washing systems, treating process waters and sewage, treating evaporation towers, etc. In water distribution circuits, it has become essential to use appropriate technical solutions in order to prevent and monitor bacteria like “Legionella”, which are very dangerous for human health. Already, large cities like Amsterdam, Moscow, Paris and Turin use ozone for civilian drinking water.

Proper planning and the use of Evergreen Ozone technology in plants guarantee effective protection against microbiological risks. Reducing incrustations and the formation of moulds and algae on evaporation tower exchange batteries, air treatment units, etc., increases the effectiveness of the plants, thus diminishing maintenance costs.

Evergreen Ozone solutions augment the efficiency of sewage disposal purifiers. They are easily inserted before the water is treated by the purifier. This type of treatment requires careful chemical analysis.

Ozone systems offer many advantages for public pool facilities as well as for public and private water parks, making it possible to drastically reduce the amount of chlorine used.

Thus there are important benefits for our health. Among these benefits, we would like to emphasize the elimination of the burning eye sensation, the unpleasant odor of chlorine on our skin and above all, the improvement of the air quality at indoor pools. The UNI 10637 Regulation (pool water quality) identifies ozone as one of the best disinfectants to use.

Also for the environment, there are many important advantages in using ozone in the treatment of water in sports facilities. It reduces the amount of highly chlorinated water that flows into the sewer system, which is one of the principal causes of river and sea pollution.

Treatment of food products

Ozone is one of the newest technologies in food conservation. It allows for the unaltered conservation of the organoleptic characteristics of products and it stops the development of microorganisms which often cause bothersome and dangerous alterations in food.

The latest research carried out and years of experimentation confirm that ozone is one of the best technologies for food conservation. It prolongs the shelf life of products, without using chemical preservatives.

The systems developed by Evergreen Ozone perfectly integrate with the cold chain, substituting the use of inert gasses able to retard the decay process of preserved products.

By inhibiting and retarding bacterial proliferation in food, an increase and an improvement in the preservability of products is guaranteed, both for producers and distributors. Ozone is ideal for seasoning cheeses and cold cuts (reducing the formation of moulds), eliminating the risk of food poisoning from “listeria”. It is indispensable for the conservation of fruit and vegetables.

As opposed to other systems in use, our technologies do not release traces on the products. Their natural tastes and colours are enhanced.

Below are the most important and evident advantages:

- elimination and/or inactivation of bacteria, moulds, viruses, spores;

- elimination of undesired odors;

- disinfection of surfaces and ceiling areas which are hard to reach using other systems;

- absence of chemical residue on the surfaces and in the production and processing areas;

- microbiological improvement of products and lengthening the amount of time products can be preserved for;

- reduction of manual labour and time necessary to carry out the disinfection of work environments;

- reduction of disinfection costs;

- reduction of water consumption;

- reduction of energy costs to produce hot water and/or vapour (O3 is used with cold water);

- reduction of costs for sewage disposal and improvement of purifier functionality;

- greater security for operators carrying out the treatments, as the process can take place in the absence of personnel (substitution and/or diminution of products dangerous for human health);

- easier to meet the legal requirements for hygiene and microbiology;

- minor environmental impact of industries (ISO 14000; EMAS).
