“We use ozone for advanced water treatment,” said Doug Ernst, Ph.D., VP science and technology for NaturalShrimp. “This includes bacterial disinfection, removal of dissolved organics and removal of fine particulate solids.

The ozone system from Ozone International includes plasma block ozone generators, air compressors, oxygen concentrators and internet connectivity for local and remote monitoring, reported the article.
