One of the important points for this sector is the preservation of the wine itself, which is made in oak barrels, as well as cement and stainless steel. The cleaning of these storages is one of the largest consumptions of water and energy, within the wine industry. In addition, they generate highly polluting wastewater. For this reason, effective and economical alternatives are sought that allow you to have a more efficient, safer and healthier winery. In this context, the use of ozone appears. Used to wash barrels with hyperozonized water, allowing the high disinfection of them, without chemical residuals of any kind and without altering the organoleptic conditions. In fact, ozone is a great help when it comes to dealing with the contamination of wines with strange smells and flavors.

To all this we must add that ozone, both in the gaseous state and in the form of ozonized water, not only disinfects, but completely sterilizes the surfaces (and facilities in general) eliminating all the problems typical of the appearance of fungi in the cellars. Its disinfectant power of enormous efficiency has as its only residual, oxygen, totally harmless. These advantages of ozone help the wine company meet the quality and safety standards imposed by the EU and other international bodies.

Abson offers the food industry and in particular the wine industry innovative ozone-based cleaning and disinfection systems, efficient and environmentally friendly.
