Water Treatment Solutions

Applications

Explore the versatility of ozone as one of the water treatment industry’s most effective tools, suitable for a wide range of applications requiring disinfection or decontamination. For agricultural producers, ozone is a vital tool for various aspects of production, including dugouts, reservoirs, plumbing, irrigation, surface disinfection, and beyond. Purifico services North American producers of all scales, providing innovative solutions for common and unique requirements alike.

Tanks, Reservoirs and Plumbing

Purifico can design systems to keep reservoirs clean and pathogen-free. Reservoirs holding both clean and dirty water can become a source of pathogens that infect crops and cut into profits. We can design systems that keep clean water tanks charged with ozone at all times, with programmable dosing strategies and remote control. Our systems allow the water applied to plants to be clean, pathogen-free and oxygen-rich!

Dirty water tanks

Reservoirs holding wastewater are particularly susceptible to pathogen growth. Our ozone systems can be used to kill these microbes, to break down pollutants such as organic matter or pesticides, and will even help larger particulate to flocculate and fall out of solution. Interrupting the lifecycle of waterborne plant pathogens is essential for producers that are looking to recirculate their nutrients. Purifico provides the best assurance against the growth and spread of pathogens in water.

Even for operations that employe a ‘drain-to-waste’ strategy, it is a good idea to minimize microbial growth in these reservoirs to prevent contaminating equipment or adjacent areas. Plant pathogens can even grow upstream, through plumbing, valves, and membranes, to contaminate other parts of the irrigation system.

Nutrient Water Tanks

Reservoirs containing nutrient-water are susceptible to pathogen growth. This water is fed directly to plants, and it is vital to ensure that it is pathogen-free. Our systems can be used on a continuous basis, or to shock tanks after cleaning or refilling. Implementation of ozone in nutrient tanks will depend on fertilizer makeup, additives, the irrigation strategy, and equipment. Our agronomic team will work to optimize nutrients and ensure that there are no unwanted effects.

Clean Water Tanks

Many producers have a false sense of security when it comes to reservoirs holding fresh water. Microbes that are pathogenic to plants can find a home in these areas, even after RO filtration, and can become a source of infection for crops. Ozone is the most dependable solution to ensure that the starting point of the irrigation system is clean and pathogen-free.

Recirculating Water Systems

Benefits of recirculating

Direct Application to Plants

Plants are well equipped to deal with the oxidative effects of ozone and tolerate concentrations that kill other forms of life, including viruses and protozoa. Used appropriately, our clients have seen dramatic improvements in their roots and overall plant health. This approach works well in hydroponics, where sterility is a good strategy for root health. We are happy to provide agronomic support to ensure that irrigation practices and nutrients are compatible.

Dugouts

One of the main problems with dugouts is having enough aeration, and water quality is a common obstacle towards achieving this. Purifico can design dugout water treatment systems tailored to your specific water quality and needs. We can design systems to reduce the chemical and biological load present in dugout water and provide effective aeration and control of microbial growth. Contact us today to discuss your needs!

General Use as a Disinfectant

Ozonated water can also be used to sanitize surfaces (e.g. tables/walls/floors etc.), and tools and equipment (e.g. scissors, shears, pumps, etc.). Cut down on your general cleaning consumables by tapping into the ozone system for these applications as well, either by dual-purposing existing systems or through portable ozone carts.

Why don't I already use it?

The complexity of ozone installations deters many producers from adopting this superior option. Each facility has unique requirements, from site layout to irrigation systems and local regulations. Learning and implementing the technology can be overwhelming, while alternatives prove less effective and costlier in the long run.

Purifico offers the solution. We go beyond being an equipment manufacturer – our team assists you with equipment design and operation. Clean water and healthy roots are essential for maximizing plant health and profitability. Let us help you succeed by harnessing the potential of ozone without the hassle

While ozone equipment may present an upfront investment, the long-term benefits are unparalleled. Our systems offer widespread improvements to plant health, ultimately boosting your margins. At Purifico, we are growers ourselves, witnessing firsthand how our product outperforms other systems for pathogen and contaminant removal.

Ozone is a powerful oxidant that destroys microbes, but it also attacks particulate and various chemicals. At high levels, ozone will cause iron and manganese to precipitate out of solution. Purifico can help you to design a system specific to your irrigation strategy, to avoid iron or manganese deficiencies in your crops. With our expert guidance, you can expect to build healthier root systems and to better nourish your plants.
