www.tersano.com TECHNOLOGY & SOLUTION STABILIZED AQUEOUS OZONE Tap water is saturated with ozone and stabilized for up to 24 hours active life. Ozone eliminates harmful pathogens, contaminants, and organic soils via oxidation process. After use, ozone breaks down into simple water and oxygen. No harmful effluents. ELECTROLYZED WATER Multiple processes exist for using tap water and electricity to create alkaline and/or acidic solutions for cleaning shelf life applications. EW has a short active life or needs charging to remain active. Some pathogen claims can be made around the acid solution. After use, the solution contains hypochlorous acid which flows into the waste stream. IONIZED WATER Typically tap water is run through a cell applying a low electrical charge. An ion exchange membrane creates +/_ charged nano-bubbles for cleaning. Short active life and no pathogen claims are published. SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE It can be manufactured in most locations since it can be obtained through the electrolysis of salt water.
