Rubber & Tire Industry

In rubber and tyre manufacturing processes, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrogen sulphide, and similar odour-active compounds released during production create serious problems for chimney emissions and workplace air quality. These compounds also provide a substrate for biofilm and bacterial growth in process cooling waters.

Ozone provides an effective solution across all of these problems: 70–95% reduction in chimney odour is achieved, while ozone integrated into process cooling waters suppresses bacterial load and can extend fluid service life by 3–5 times. This approach reduces chemical use, protects worker health, and reduces wastewater load.

Packaging Industry: Raw materials used in packaging production — plastic film, paper, and cardboard — face microbial contamination and mould risk during storage and processing. Microbiological load control on food-contact packaging surfaces is mandatory; chemical disinfectants carry residue and migration risks. Low-dose ambient disinfection with ozone gas reduces bacterial and mould load on food-contact packaging surfaces by 99.9% without leaving any chemical residue. This is a decisive advantage for compliance with EU Packaging Legislation (EC 10/2011) and FDA food contact material requirements.

Plastics Manufacturing: In plastics manufacturing facilities, monomer vapours, plasticiser, and additive emissions deteriorate workplace air quality; these compounds also carry the risk of exceeding VOC emission regulatory limits. Ozone oxidises these compounds in the chimney exhaust line, reducing emission load; in process cooling waters, it provides biofilm control, reducing equipment maintenance costs.
