Hydroxyl Generators for Professional Odor Removal

Hydroxyl generators are used by restoration contractors and cleaning professionals to help reduce stubborn odours caused by smoke, fire damage, water damage, damp building materials, mould-related odours, fuel oil, protein fires, sewage losses and volatile organic compounds.

The Titan Hydroxyl Generator line is designed for professional indoor air treatment and deodorizing applications. Unlike ozone generators, Titan hydroxyl units do not intentionally produce ozone, making them useful in many restoration and cleaning situations where people, pets, contents, electronics or sensitive materials may be present.

Hydroxyl technology is often used in fire and flood restoration, doctor’s offices, nursing homes, daycare centres, restaurants, commercial buildings, rental properties and other indoor environments where odor control is needed without relying only on masking agents or fragrances.

The market for the Titan is unlimited. Fire and Flood Damage Restoration, Doctor’s Waiting Areas, Nursing Homes, Day Care Centers, Restaurants, Night Clubs, Beauty Parlors, Etc… can all benefit from the odor and germ destroying properties of Titan’s TiO2 Photo Catalytic process which will clean the air, remove odors and eliminate poisonous gases and organic pollutants.

Ozone Machines for Controlled Professional Odor Removal

Ozone generators are used by trained professionals for controlled odor removal in unoccupied spaces. They are commonly used for smoke odours, tobacco odours, fire restoration, musty smells, rental property deodorizing and certain restoration-related odor control applications.

Kleen Kuip supplies Total Zone ozone machines for professional cleaning and restoration use. These units are designed for demanding job-site conditions where odor treatment may be required after cleaning, drying, restoration or source removal work has been completed.

Ozone machines should only be used according to manufacturer directions and only in suitable unoccupied spaces. For many occupied-space applications, hydroxyl generators may be the more appropriate option.

Total Zone Ozone Machine Odor Removal Generators are the most modern, technically advanced systems on the market today. Total Zone TZ-1, TZ-2 use a patented corona discharge technology known as “SP-ARC”, Silicate Polarized Arc. This new process allows the Total Zone ozone generator to produce much higher levels of ozone then any competitive model with little or no maintenance. The TZUV-300 & TZUV-600 use a proprietary UV Chamber with high output UVC lamps.
All Total Zone ozone generators are designed and built for the utmost reliability in the harshest environments.

Hydroxyl Generator vs. Ozone Machine: Which One Do You Need?

Hydroxyl generators and ozone machines are both used for odour control, but they are not used in the same way.

  • Hydroxyl generators are often used for deodorizing occupied or sensitive environments where people, pets, electronics, documents, furniture or contents may remain in place.
  • Ozone machines are typically used for stronger odor treatment in controlled, unoccupied spaces and should be operated according to the manufacturer’s safety instructions.
  • Vaportek odor control products can be used as part of a broader deodorizing approach when fragrance-based neutralization or controlled vapor treatment is suitable.
  • Fogging equipment may be used for certain deodorizing, disinfecting or restoration applications depending on the product being applied and the job-site conditions.

If you are not sure which odor removal system is right for your job, Kleen Kuip can help you compare options based on the odor source, room size, building use, contents, safety requirements and whether the space will be occupied during treatment.

Who uses hydroxyl generators?

Hydroxyl generators are commonly used by restoration contractors, carpet cleaners, property managers, facility maintenance teams, commercial cleaners and professionals handling odor control after fire, flood, smoke or water damage jobs.

(FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions:

Hydroxyl radicals (·OH) are created naturally in the atmosphere when the sun’s ultraviolet rays react with water vapor (H2O) and oxygen (O2). They rapidly decompose chemicals in the air and are often referred to as “nature’s broom” because of their crucial role in helping to keep the Earth’s atmosphere clear of harmful organic and inorganic compounds. Hydroxyls work primarily by abstracting hydrogen atoms, thereby dismantling the molecular structure of odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In fact, they react so rapidly that indoor environments have few natural hydroxyls present because they are consumed near their point of entry. Powerful hydroxyl generators using the same broad range of UV radiation as the sun are now used to naturally clean and deodorize indoor environments.

Unlike ozone, atmospheric hydroxyls are safe for people, animals, plants and all sensitive materials like rubber, plastic, leather, vinyl, electronics, paper and artwork. Contents can be wet while being deodorized without the risk of bleaching. Jobs can be streamlined when the contractor is able to deodorize while drying, cleaning and demoing. Both contents and structure can be treated at the same time, and as conditions permit, certain packout activities can be avoided or substantially reduced. In many cases, residents can stay in their home or businesses and remain open, while avoiding costly business interruption.

Hydroxyl machines have proven to be effective for almost any odor. They are commonly used for treating odors caused by fire and smoke, water losses, mold and VOCs. This technology is regularly deployed on losses ranging from large big box retail and industrial fires to residential Category 2 and 3 water losses. Hydroxyls have also proven to be very effective for odors that are difficult for ozone or other deodorization methods, such as those caused by protein fires, fuel oil, biohazard and sulfur compounds.

Ozone, (O3), sometimes called “activated oxygen”, contains three atoms of oxygen rather than the two atoms we normally breathe. Ozone is the second most powerful sterilant in the world and can be used to destroy bacteria, viruses and odors. Interestingly ozone occurs quite readily in nature, most often as a result of lightning strikes that occur during thunderstorms. In fact the “fresh, clean, spring rain” smell that we notice after a storm most often results from nature’s creation of ozone. However, we are probably most familiar with ozone from reading about the “ozone layer” that circles the planet above the earth’s atmosphere. Here ozone is created by the sun’s ultra-violet rays. This serves to protect us from the ultra-violet radiation.

While ozone is very powerful, it has a very short life-cycle. When contaminants such as odors, bacteria or viruses make contact with ozone, they are destroyed completely by oxidation. In so doing, that extra atom of oxygen is consumed and there is nothing left…no odor…no bacteria…no extra atom, only oxygen. Ozone reverts back to oxygen after it is used.

How Does Ozone Work?

There are basically two methods of producing ozone…ultra-violet and corona discharge. Corona discharge creates ozone by applying high voltage to a metallic grid sandwiched between two dielectrics. The high voltage jumps through the dielectric to a grounded screen and in the process, creates ozone from oxygen present in the chamber. Ultra-violet (UV) light creates ozone when a wavelength at 254 nm (nanometers) hits an oxygen atom. The molecule (O2) splits into two atoms (O), which combine with another oxygen molecule (O2) to form ozone (O3).

How long does ozone last?As soon as ozone is formed in the generator and dispersed in a room, some of it reverts back into oxygen. This step occurs by several processes including the following: Oxidation reaction with an organic material such as odors or smoke. Reactions with bacteria etc., which again consumes ozone by oxidation reactions. Additionally ozone itself has a half life which means that “residual” ozone created (extra ozone) will return to oxygen usually within 30 minutes, in amounts equal to half its level. What this means is that after each subsequent 30 minute period there would be half as much residual ozone left at the end of the period as was present at the beginning of the period. This is similar to a geometric progression of 16;8;4;2;1. In practice the half life is usually less than 30 minutes due to temperature, dust, and other contaminants in the air. Therefore, ozone, while very powerful, doesn’t last long. It does its job and then disappears.

Will the odour come back?

No. If ozone is applied properly it destroys (oxidizes) the source of the odor. However, in the case of mildew the odor will return if you are unable to get rid of the moisture that is the source of the mildew.

How does Ozone handle tobacco smoke?

It eliminates the irritation caused by phenol gasses, by oxidizing them. Phenol gasses are the invisible part of tobacco smoke that causes such discomfort to one’s eyes and create the offensive odors. Ozone rids any environment of the effects of smoke completely, rather than merely filtering out the visible particles.

Will Ozone remove nicotine stains and nicotine build-up?

No, ozone will not remove the stains. Ozone will deodorize and help to decontaminate the problem but will not remove the actual substance.

Will Ozone affect computers?No, ozone will not affect personal computers, fabrics or paintings. The concentrations are not high enough even during shock treatments for long periods (> 30 days) of time.
