Hydroxyl Radical (OH) & Ozone (O₃) for Yachts and Maritime Applications
Yacht owners can spend hours, days, or even weeks at sea. They often travel with friends, loved ones, and business partners. During these journeys, keeping water drinkable poses challenges, and consuming contaminated water can lead to bacteria buildup and unforeseen illnesses. OH & O₃ water purification results are far superior to traditional disinfection methods. An Electrolytic Generator (EOG) can be installed on the vessel, eliminating the need for storing large chemicals. These patented OH & O₃ water systems can connect directly to the water lines on the vessel. They are compact, lightweight, and easy to install. The electrolytic method used by BES produces the highest concentration in its industry. OH & O₃ water protects yacht owners and passengers from illnesses caused by drinking water, tap water, and unsanitary surfaces. Moreover, OH & O₃ water is safer for the environment, as it reverts to oxygen after use, leaving no chemical waste dumped into the sea. Over time, OH & O₃ water saves yacht owners thousands of dollars on chemical disinfectants and eliminates the hassle of loading chemical bottles onto the boat. This also addresses safety concerns related to storing flammable chemicals on board.

Usage Areas
General Surface Cleaning on Yachts
Bacteria and microorganisms are everywhere. It is possible for potentially contaminated bacteria and viruses to survive on surfaces for extended periods. Hydroxyl Radical (OH) & Ozone (O₃) is a powerful oxidizer that acts as a natural disinfectant. Using OH & O₃ water for surface cleaning around a yacht eliminates the need for hazardous chemical disinfectants. OH & O₃ water cleaning is 3,000 times faster and 50 times more effective than chlorine. After water purification, Hydroxyl Radical (OH) & Ozone (O₃) reverts to oxygen molecules without releasing any harmful byproducts. This means yacht owners can use it to clean all surfaces without inhaling potentially harmful chemicals. The BioSure OH & O₃ Spray Bottle Pro (OSB) is perfect for disinfecting surfaces in yacht bathrooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. It is a simple, rechargeable machine that uses an advanced electrolytic oxidation process to turn tap water into dissolved OH & O₃ water, instantly creating a chemical-free disinfectant. Using OH & O₃ water sprayed on surfaces is safe and kills harmful pathogens such as Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter, and E. coli.
Yacht Kitchens & Food Preparation Areas
A dirty kitchen is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, and yachts are no exception. A clean kitchen and food preparation area are essential to keep yacht owners and other guests healthy. Since medical facilities are often limited at sea, any foodborne illness during a yacht trip could have severe consequences. Chemicals like chlorine are often used to sterilize food, but storing chlorine on a yacht is unhealthy and dangerous. Hydroxyl Radical (OH) & Ozone (O₃) water is a powerful oxidizer that does not alter the taste or smell of food. It leaves no harmful chemical residues in our bodies, making it a safe alternative to chlorine. Moreover, OH & O₃ water does not use heat to disinfect, making it safer for those handling food.
Drinking Water Sanitation on Yachts
Yacht owners must implement a water purification system for longer voyages. Drinking water on a yacht is often produced through a process known as reverse osmosis of seawater. However, even after desalination, this water is still prone to bacterial growth. Treating desalinated drinking water with an ozonated water system instantly eliminates 99.99% of bacteria and germs without leaving any chemical residues. OH & O₃ water simply reverts to oxygen and evaporates back into the air after the process. Installing a BioSure water line system from BES reduces the risk of illness caused by drinking water passing through contaminated pipes. Additionally, it is 3,000 times faster and 50 times more effective than chlorine. OH & O₃ also prevents biofilm formation in water lines, eliminating mold and bacteria buildup.
Ballast System Sanitation
A ballast system holds water in tanks or cargo holds of ships to maintain stability when the vessel is not carrying cargo or during extended voyages in rough seas. These tanks are often susceptible to bacteria buildup that can lead to odors or harmful microorganism growth. The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has issued a ballast water management guide for yachts. Vessels are now required to comply with the IMO International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention), which mandates an approved ballast water management system. A Hydroxyl Radical (OH) & Ozone (O₃) Water Disinfection System (WDS) converts regular tap water into antibacterial sanitizing water, eliminating harmful contaminants from water lines. OH & O₃ water treatment reverts to oxygen and evaporates instead of releasing harmful byproducts, making it safer for the environment.
