What type of waste will the NG-1000 Ozonator handle?
The OZONATOR NG-1000 is designed for the sterilization of bio-hazardous waste. However, due to the advanced design of the technology, it is also a cost-effective way to treat multiple waste streams at a facility. The OZONATOR NG-1000 is NOT designed for the treatment of hazardous waste, 100% liquid waste or metals that cannot be shredded.
Will the NG-1000 handle anatomical waste?
Yes, the OZONATOR NG-1000 is capable of handling anatomical waste due to the effectiveness of the shredding process that renders all waste unrecognizable.
What certifications has Ozonator achieved?
The OZONATOR NG-1000 technology recently underwent an extensive review and analysis by the Canadian Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program. The program is delivered by ETV Canada under a license agreement from Environment Canada. The Canadian ETV Program is designed to support Canada’s environment industry by providing credible and independent verification of technology performance claims.
Their independent review verified that the OZONATOR NG-1000 achieved a 6 log10 reduction in spores. Additionally, the OZONATOR NG-1000 is the only technology for the sterilization of solid bio-hazardous waste that has achieved ETV validation.
The OZONATOR NG-1000 has also received regulatory approvals in several states and other geographical regions.
How does the NG-1000 compare with other technologies?
Simply put – it`s cleaner, safer, faster, more cost-effective and well, just all-around better!
Is ozone safe?
Yes, when created, controlled and monitored properly, ozone is safe and natural way to treat bio-hazardous waste.
What is the processing capacity of the NG-1000 equipment?
The OZONATOR NG-1000 can treat 400 pounds or 1.75 cubic yards of waste in every 15 minute cycle.
What are the training requirements for the Ozonator?
While an operator can truly be trained to operate an OZONATOR NG-1000 in less than 10 minutes, proper and adequate training for both operators and administrators is available through Ozonator Industries Ltd and their authorized training partners in a multi-day training session.
What is the warranty?
The base warranty is one year or 1000 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Extended warranty options are available at time of purchase.
How do we obtain spare or replacement parts?
Ozonator Industries and its global network of Distributors and Representatives are committed to ensuring that your facility has immediate access to replacement parts.
How do I obtain service for my OZONATOR NG-1000?
Service is available through your regional Distributor and long-term service contracts are available at the time of purchase.
Are Operating and Maintenance Manuals available?
Yes, the OZONATOR NG-1000 ships with a complete set of operation and safety manuals. Additionally, operator and supervisor training is available.
Where can we visit a system in operation?
At this time, operation units are available for tours at the Union Hospital in Terre Haute, Indiana USA or at the manufacturing facility in Regina, Saskatchewan Canada.
What are the procedures for on-going efficacy testing?
Procedures for efficacy testing on a daily, weekly or even per load are defined and fully explained in the manuals that ship with the unit. For an explanation of these procedures, contact your regional Distributor or Representative.
Are lease options available?
Yes, leasing and other financing options are available.
Do you offer units using different voltages and frequencies for other countries?
Yes, modifications can be made to suit any regions requirements.
What the terms and conditions of sale?
The standard terms of a sale are 50% deposit at time of order and payment in full before the unit leaves the manufacturing facility.
Does Ozonator offer smaller units?
At this time Ozonator Industries has just the one OZONATOR unit on the market, the NG-1000. However, patents have been filed and the designs are in the works for a unit using the same science, but with a smaller processing capacity.
Does Ozonator provide spare parts with purchase?
Spare parts can be ordered at time of purchase, or at a later date through our regional distributors.
Can the NG-1000 be opened to remove items such as titanium metal?
Yes, should it be required, an operator with the proper training and the adequate security access to the more advanced features of the NG-1000, can safely over-ride some of the functions of the NG-1000 in order to deal with operational anomalies.
What is the maximum percentage of moisture of the medical waste?
The OZONATOR NG-1000 has been ETV verified for loads with up to 20% moisture content. However, simple procedures exist for the operator to follow should they suspect that a load of waste to be processed contains more than 20% moisture. Additionally, in over two years of field testing with traditional bio-hazardous waste, the OZONATOR NG-1000 has never encountered a problem with high moisture contents.
What other waste can be processed in the NG-1000 equipment?
The OZONATOR NG-1000 is capable of handling multiple waste streams in a cost-effective manner. In addition to bio-hazardous waste, it can be used to treat general waste, kitchen waste, confidential documents, etc.
What is the percentage of volume reduction can we expect?
Field testing has proven that the approximate reduction in the volume of waste processed through the OZONATOR NG-1000 can be as high as 90%.
How is the processed waste disposed? Where?
Once waste has been run through the OZONATOR NG-1000, it can be disposed of in any regular municipal landfill.
How long will the shredder last?
The life of the teeth on the shredder will depend on how many hours per day the unit is operating as well as the material that is being processed by the unit. While we cannot generally predict a time frame until a shredder re-build will be required, it is reasonable to expect the shredder teeth to have to be replaced between 18 and 36 months of continuous usage.
What regular maintenance is required for the NG-1000 equipment?
The OZONATOR NG-1000 requires on average about 10 minutes of general maintenance per day.
Can the NG-1000 operate on a continuous basis?
Yes, when using the OZONATOR NG-1000 , waste is processed using a continuous batch process. The unit only requires about fifteen minutes of time for the initial start-up and no time is required between the end of one cycle and the beginning of another.
What is the maximum volume and weight of load?
The maximum weight for any single load is 440 pounds by weight or 27 cubic feet by volume.
What are the average number cycles that we can expect per hour?
It is realistic to expect four cycles of waste to be processed each hour.
