  • Patent number: 12194164
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of disinfecting a fluid transmission line. The method includes the steps of initiating the flow of water into an aqueous ozone generator, generating an ozonated concentrate liquid by way of an electrochemical generator which comprises an ion exchange material. The electrochemical generator is integrated into the aqueous ozone generator. The electrochemical generator receives the water and generates from the water the ozonated concentrate liquid. The method continues by generating the flow of a microfoaming ozonated liquid by ratiometrically mixing a microfoaming agent with the ozonated concentrate liquid and disinfecting a fluid transmission line by dispensing the microfoaming ozonated liquid through the fluid transmission line. Replaceable cartridges can include the microfoaming agent. The system can data communicate with remote data processing resources, including communicating when it is time to replace the cartridge.

  • Patent number: 12137699
    Abstract: The present invention relates to food preparation disinfection treatment methods that disinfect fruits or vegetables, and food preparation surfaces during the preparation of food items in a restaurant environment. The methods include steps such as creating an ozonated concentrate liquid by way of an aqueous ozone generator, disinfecting fruit or vegetables by immersion in the ozonated concentrate liquid, disinfecting one or more of a food preparation surface by misting the ozonated concentrate liquid onto the food preparation surface, neutralizing the odor of the plant tissue by misting the ozonated concentrate liquid onto the plant tissue at periodic mist intervals, and other steps and features including being able to disinfect and oxygenate lettuce in prepackaged produce packaging.

  • Patent number: 12089592
    Abstract: The present invention relates to post-harvest lettuce treatment methods that use aqueous ozone to disinfect, extend vitality, and reduce the amount of lettuce used in food preparation. The methods include steps such as creating an ozonated concentrate liquid by way of an aqueous ozone generator, removing pesticide residues from lettuce by a rinse in the ozonated concentrate liquid, disinfecting the lettuce by immersion in the ozonated concentrate liquid, oxygenating lettuce plant tissue to reinvigorate the lettuce, neutralizing the odor of the plant tissue by misting the ozonated concentrate liquid onto the plant tissue at a periodic mist interval, and other method steps and features including being able to disinfect and oxygenate lettuce in prepackaged produce packaging.

  • Patent number: 12070051
    Abstract: The present invention relates an aqueous ozone disinfection system. An aqueous ozone generator receives water and an electrochemical medium catalyst that are combined forming a mixture. An electrochemical generator includes an ion exchange material and is integrated into the aqueous ozone generator. The electrochemical generator receives the mixture, and generates from the mixture an ozonated concentrate liquid. An electrochemical medium catalyst governor regulates the ratiometric mixture of amount of the electrochemical medium catalyst in the water, controlling the conductivity of the water, within a desired conductivity range, enhancing the electrochemical production of aqueous ozone by the electrochemical generator. And, a flow governor regulates an aqueous ozone production dwell time of the mixture through the electrochemical generator, controlling an ozone concentration level of the ozonated concentrate liquid within a desired ozone concentration range.

  • Patent number: 12036331
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous ozone floor disinfection system. A floor cleaning machine traverses a floor surface entering a pre-hygienic zone prior to cleaning, cleaning within a midst-hygienic zone for a cleaning period, and moving away from the midst-hygienic zone creating a post-hygienic zone. An aqueous ozone generator receives water and generates an ozonated concentrate liquid. A post-hygienic mixer ratiometrically blends the ozonated concentrate liquid and water to form a post-hygienic ozone disinfection solution having a predetermined post-hygienic ozone treatment concentration. A post-hygienic nozzle spray of the post-hygienic ozone disinfection solution onto the post-hygienic zone portion of the floor surface for at least the post-hygienic treatment time absent agitation or removal by the floor cleaning machine improving disinfection of the floor surface. The service life of the aqueous ozone generator can be tracked and the disinfected floor surface can be GPS geofenced.
