Washdown Sanitation Systems
Ringmain ozonated water systems delivering 2-10ppm for washdown, rinse, and CIP
Ozone Technologies designs and installs permanent washdown sanitation systems that deliver ozonated water at 2-10ppm directly to every washdown point in your facility via a ringmain distribution network. Our systems replace traditional chemical sanitisers for daily washdown, surface rinse, and CIP (Clean-in-Place) operations — providing continuous on-demand access to powerful, chemical-free sanitation water at the turn of a tap.
How the Ringmain System Works
Our washdown systems generate ozonated water at a central skid and distribute it through a dedicated ringmain loop that runs throughout your facility. Ozonated water is maintained at a consistent 2-10ppm concentration and circulates continuously, ensuring every outlet delivers sanitisation-grade water on demand. The ringmain design eliminates dead legs and stagnant water, maintaining ozone concentration right to the point of use. Hose stations, spray nozzles, and CIP connections are positioned at strategic points for maximum coverage of your production areas.
Washdown & Surface Rinse
Replace chemical washdown with ozonated water for daily floor, wall, drain, and equipment surface sanitation. At 2-10ppm, ozonated water kills 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and moulds on contact — then reverts to pure water, leaving no chemical residues, no rinse requirement, and no hazardous chemical storage. Staff simply connect a hose to the ringmain outlet and wash down as normal. The result is faster turnaround between shifts, reduced chemical costs, and a safer working environment with no chemical handling risks.
CIP (Clean-in-Place)
Our ozonated water integrates directly into your existing CIP circuits. Ozonated water replaces or supplements chemical sanitisers in the final rinse stage, eliminating the need for extended chemical contact times and multi-stage rinse cycles. This reduces CIP cycle times, water consumption, and chemical costs while delivering superior microbial kill rates. The system is compatible with all standard CIP equipment and can be retrofitted to existing production lines without major modifications.
System Design & Specifications
Each ringmain system is custom-designed to match your facility layout, water demand, and required ozone concentration. The central ozone generation skid includes PSA oxygen supply, ozone generator, contact vessel, and dissolved ozone monitoring. The ringmain is constructed from ozone-compatible materials (316 stainless steel or PVDF piping) with automated recirculation to maintain concentration. Real-time dissolved ozone monitors at key points verify sanitisation levels, with full SCADA integration and data logging for compliance records.
Industries & Applications
Our washdown ringmain systems are installed across meat processing plants, dairy factories, seafood processing, beverage production, fruit and vegetable packhouses, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and any facility requiring consistent, chemical-free sanitation. The systems are designed to meet MPI (Ministry for Primary Industries), FSANZ, and international food safety standards including HACCP and BRC requirements.
