Company Profile

The Company specialises in natural oxidation techniques to:

1. Oxidise micro-organisms and various heavy metals such as iron and manganese in the water treatment market.
2. Eliminate noxious gases and odours such as cigarette smoke, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide and sulphurs and to deodorise smelly or polluted areas in air treatment applications.
3. Nitrify, denitrify and clarify sewage by encouraging the growth of micro-organisms on suitable media in bio digesters.
4. Sterilise and oxidise using ozone generators and ultra violet or membrane systems.

The Company services a wide range of commercial, industrial, and domestic markets in water and air treatment and sewerage and effluent recycling in Southern and Central Africa.
Based in Randburg, Johannesburg, South Africa, OSI has the capability to design and manufacture, service, repair and maintain a large variety of ozone generating and ultraviolet equipment, including custom designed and OEM products, catering for most applications.

Ozone Services Industries Pty Ltd (OSI) commenced operations in 1997 having obtained the Ozone Industries UK franchise to sell ozone generators and associated equipment to the air and water purification market in Southern Africa. In 2000, considerable investment was applied to research and development of a locally manufactured range of ozone generators, UV systems and associated equipment using the facilities and support of Industrial Development Company, SA. A full range of Air and Water units were then decided upon and sales began using the registered Airzone and Aquazone brand names throughout Southern Africa.

In 2000, OSI secured the Distributor status for Ozonia Ltd (Switzerland). A condition for this franchise, was that OSI technicians required regular training at the Ozonia factory in Zurich and where OSI had to possess resources such as tooling and test equipment to install, service and maintain sophisticated plants supplied by Ozonia.

This enabled the Company to enter the large Industrial and Municipal market, principally in Water Purification, and servicing of old and new large Ozonia OZAT ozone generators and plants began.

Large plants worked on include the Municipal sewage reclamation plant in Windhoek which was completely refurbished by OSI and maintenance has also been carried out at the Sappi Ngondwana Paper Mill in Mpumulanga.

Various other projects have been commissioned by OSI including, amongst others, Midvaal Water treatment works, Nestles Bottling, L’Oreal, Plettenberg Bay Municipality, uShaka Marine World, Sasol Secunda and Anglo Plats Rustenberg and Modikwa.
 

These compliment the Airzone and Aquazone domestic range of water and air purifiers.

OSI also has a working arrangement with Ozone Water Systems in Phoenix Arizona. OWS are the largest “Ozone” Company in the USA and are contracted by the major ozone suppliers to build complete plants throughout the world. OSI relies on OWS for technical advice and for specific skid units. OSI also participates with OWS in servicing and maintaining large projects in Kenya, Uganda and Ghana with Nigeria and Dubai for future contracts.

In 2009, the Biozone Ozone Services Industries Pty Ltdproducts were introduced to the product mix enabling the Company to also service the sewage/effluent reclamation and recycling industry.

Leon du Casse manages the Biozone Division. He has had many years experience in the sewage and effluent treatment industry having concentrated only on sewage recycling since 1998 and has designed, installed and serviced several plants units throughout Southern Africa.
The Biozone Flush n Spray system is unique in the Industry and is entirely Leon’s design.

The Biozone NoKak systems, use conventional aerobic and anaerobic technology with biological media. Over the years, through experience Leon has developed a specialised and refined treatment system which ensures an effective and efficient solution to customers requiring sewage treatment or recycling or water savings.

This product/technology has been very well accepted in South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique, Angola, Zambia and Botswana and has opened doors for the Company where we are able to offer full turnkey plants on housing Estates, Shopping Complexes, Game Lodges, Golf Courses etc. This will be for the potable water supply, and final sewage recycling for irrigation or in to the local rivers or dams without contaminating the earth or atmosphere. In some specific cases where water is short or expensive, the sewage is recycled through reverse osmosis systems to drinking water standard. These plants are very much in demand on remote housing sites such as Mining ventures or Game Lodges.

OSI has accumulated an enviable data base of satisfied customers in and out of South Africa, where the Airzone, Aquazone, Biozone, and Ozonia products are well known for their efficacy and reliability. The company has successfully installed and commissioned over 40 large scale ozone and UV generators in a variety of industries and sold over 6000 small to medium air and water ozone generating products to all markets over the years.
Successful applications include:

1. Large Industrial Water Purification and Effluent Treatment projects,
2. Odour and Hygiene control in the Hospitality and Health Industries
3. Bottle sterilising and water sterilisation in Bottling plants.
4. Office and high rise building air purification (combating Sick Building Syndrome),
5. Jacuzzi/Spa disinfection
6. Ozone Therapy in the Wellness and Health sector
7. Domestic water and air purifiers.

OSI is supported throughout South Africa by a range of dealers and agents.

The Natural Oxidation methods that OSI promotes are becoming increasingly in demand where alternatives to chlorine and chemical treatments are sought after and where preservation of the environment is important. The combination of these technologies and their optimal use is inherently OSI’s Intellectual Property. The competitive advantage lies in the design and manufacture of ozone and ultra violet (UV) generating products and their optimal application in a wide range of environments. The development of this expertise, to the point where the applications are commercially viable and cost effective in relation to other technologies, has been the result of work done by OSI in the last 12 years.
