Welcome

Piper Environmental Group, Inc. offers ozone technology, equipment and services for a wide-range of environmental applications.  We design, manufacture, and integrate ozone systems and related equipment for short and long-term projects, and offer equipment for rent or purchase.  Our services include project design assistance, oxidation pilot studies, contract service, equipment repair, consulting, and chemical treatment.

Remediation

Piper Environmental Group’s new Phoenix Ozone Cabinet was created specifically for remediation of soil and groundwater pollutants often associated with leaking Underground Storage Tank (UST) systems.  These compounds include gasoline (BTEX), heating oil, MTBE and many chlorinated compounds.

MGP

National Grid & GEI – Bay Shore, New York: Client requested assistance with a highly “public” soil and groundwater contamination at a former MGP site and specifically requested a partner with extensive ozone experience in remediation applications. Piper Environmental Group, Inc. proposed a large-scale solution for site-wide remediation, including a 25 PPD high output ozone system, triple ozone barrier/curtain system, and a redundant 25 PPD backup system. Client approved this proposal, and purchased extensive technical, telemetry, design, and consultative services, and equipment in excess of $1 million. Client and Piper Environmental Group, Inc. are currently exploring an expansion of
this system to cover adjacent areas of the site.

This Bay Shore, New York project is currently being remediated. The Q2, 2010 Quarterly Operations, Maintenance & Monitoring Report was completed and published by Matt O’Neil of GEI September, 2010 for National Grid and NYSDEC and can be found here. Please note this report is 1226 pages in length. We are currently writing a white paper summarizing the excellent results here. This will be provided early 2011.

Ozone in the Food Industry


Despite advances in modern medical technology, there has been an increase in human illness linked to bacterial and viral infections. This disturbing trend has prompted an increased focus on the safe use of sanitizers, pesticides, and other chemicals in food processing. In Europe, ozone has been the primary sanitizer for public water systems and has been used in the food industry for decades. Until recently, ozone was not permitted for use in the United States as a disinfectant or sanitizer for use in food processing.

In response to the growing need for a safer, more effective sanitizer, the FDA acknowledged the GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) status of ozone in 1997. Ozone became an unrestricted food additive July of 2002. Piper Environmental Group, Inc., Inc.’s food processing applications were reviewed during this process. The recognition of ozone’s safe use in food processing was a logical step; by 1991, the EPA had confirmed ozone as the most effective primary disinfectant available for drinking water. Many municipal and bottled water plants have been injecting ozone based on the EPA’s confirmation. Now, an increasing number of food products are now sanitized with ozone.

Utilizing ozone technology provides many advantages over traditional treatment for food processing. Ozone is a 152% stronger oxidizing agent than chlorine. In addition, ozone kills all known bacteria, viruses, mold, spores, yeast, mildew and fungus faster than hot water or conventional chemicals. Environmentally sound, ozonated cold water replaces traditional hot water and harsh chemical sanitation such as chlorine, chlorine dioxide and quaternary ammonium or peroxide/acetic acid compounds.

Even as awareness of ozone as a viable treatment alternative for food processing grows, very few manufacturers are capable of offering expert sizing assistance, design, engineering, manufacturing of integrated ozone systems and technical support necessary to provide the correct ozone system to fit your needs. Many plant operators have been unable to keep up with the myriad of changes brought about by industry growth.

Piper Environmental Group, Inc. has utilized ozone for food applications since 1993 and has demonstrated success in providing service and application expertise. As an ozone system integrator, we evaluate your needs to design the proper ozone system for your specific food processing application.

Food processing plants are often limited by the capabilities of “cookie cutter, one size fits all” ozone systems. Let Piper Environmental Group, Inc. design the correct ozone system to meet your needs.

 

Wine

Wine Industry


There seems to be no shortage in demand for quality wines in the United States. A more knowledgeable consumer is willing to pay premium prices. In return, they demand higher quality and consistency in wines from vintage to vintage. Wine makers who craft an outstanding, reliable product will be sure to have a loyal following ensuring financial success. Especially for high-end wineries producing limited quantities of wine, a bad vintage or a contaminated product can have a devastating impact to reputation and finances for years to come. It is no wonder that wine makers and grape growers are willing to rethink age-old techniques, investigating and using modern growing, harvesting, producing and sanitizing practices to guarantee a successful vintage.
