Top of the Range - O3 Alkaline D: A powerful, new generation, new technology,
non-corrosive, concentrated chemical cleaner and sanitiser, with a built-in
degreaser, specifically designed to remove health-threatening mould, bacteria,
and fungi growing in grease, cooking oil, and fat in air-con systems servicing
restaurants, bakeries, fast food outlets, and kitchens generally.
Can be diluted up to 15 times, making it the most competitively-priced
Alkaline D on the market .
A New Way to Apply The Chemicals
O3 has also developed a new way of applying our chemicals. We reasoned
if we could get enough pressure to penetrate right through a coil without
damaging it, we could more easily remove contaminants bearing mould, bacteria
and fungi. We tested many compressors, but always found immediately we
started spraying the chemical onto an AHU, or HVAC, the pressure would
drop alarmingly. We finally had a breakthrough when we discovered the latest
Trade Air oil-free, silent compressors, which, unlike ordinary compressors,
maintain their set pressure throughout the length of the clean. They have
also enabled us to introduce new cleaning techniques, which are extremely
cost-effective, and far more efficient compared to the normal method of
applying the chemicals with a garden pressure pump, and a hosepipe to rinse
off. Instead they reduce cleaning times dramatically, and enable the technicians
to limit the amount of water required to rinse off a chemical to just a
few litres.
To do a first-time clean, we use a 50 litre Trade Air Twin Head silent
compressor, set at 5-bar pressure. We apply O3 Alkaline D in a 1:1 dilution.
The chemical is poured into a 1-litre paraffin spray gun attached to the
compressor. The constant pressure from the compressor will allow us to
clean right through the coil, without having to clean from the reverse
side as well. Because of this consistency, we use a far smaller quantity
of chemical. Leave the chemical on for 15 minutes.
Extremely important. DO NOT USE A HOSEPIPE TO RINSE OFF. A 20mm
hosepipe spews out 80 litres of water per minute! Rather pour the water
into the paraffin spray gun, and rinse of at 5-bar pressure. It is amazing
how little water is required – just a few litres! Cleaning times are reduced
dramatically. No mess to clean up afterwards!
Case orders may be mixed, for example: 1 case O3 SmartAir +1 case O3 SmartFinish to make up a 2 case order. Or 1 case O3 SmartAir + 1 case O3 SmartFinish + 1 case O3 GREEN + 1 case O3 Alkaline D + 1 Case O3 Bio Degreaser for a 5 case order. Mix them as you please.
AHUs: We have always recommended AHUs should be cleaned, and
sanitised 4 times per annum. The first clean should be done using O3 GREEN
or O3 Alkaline D in a 1:1 dilution. Before and after air flow readings
are essential to monitor the effectiveness of the clean. Thereafter a clean
and sanitising should be done every three months using a 1:15 dilution
of either chemical. Again air flow readings must be taken. We also strongly
advocate the taking of before and after pictures, using a smartphone or
tablet.
FILTERS: Filters play an important role in reducing mould development
in an AHU or HVAC. They should always be kept in pristine condition.
AHU Filters: In line with the latest Ventilations health and
safety requirements:
38. Every employer must –
38.1 Keep the workplace well ventilated by natural or mechanical means
to reduce the SARS-CoV-2 viral load;
38.2 Where reasonably practicable, have an effective local extraction
ventilation system with high-efficiency particulate air HEPA filters, which
is regularly cleaned and maintained, and its vents do not feed back in
through open windows;
38.3 ensure that filters are cleaned and replaced in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions by a competent person.

Leaves a fresh after-clean fragrance. It’s non-corrosive and has a protective
film to extend the life of the units on which it is used.
Caution: Health and safety regulations require that gloves,
goggles, and a mask should ALWAYS be worn.
Case orders may be mixed, for example: 1 case O3 SmartAir +1 case O3 SmartFinish to make up a 2 case order. Or 1 case O3 SmartAir + 1 case O3 SmartFinish + 1 case O3 GREEN + 1 case O3 Alkaline D + 1 Case O3 Bio Degreaser for a 5 case order. Mix them as you please.
The Trade Air compressors can be bought at Makro, Takealot, and many other
similar retailers. However, we place so much importance on this method
of cleaning AHUs and HVACs that O3 has decided to offer the compressors
as part of our programme. We believe our prices are lower than the competition.
We are keen for the Contractors to recover the cost of the machines in
a matter of months, while delivering a far higher standard of cleaning
for their clients.
The Trade Air compressors will guarantee Property Owners, and Facilities
Managers will achieve more cost-effective, and more efficient results from
their contracts.
