The International Ozone Titan 1000 is a compact, ozone-free photocatalytic hydroxyl generator for odour and air quality work in spaces that cannot be evacuated. It treats 283–425 m³ (10,000–15,000 ft³), according to CCW's listing; International Ozone's spec sheet gives a maximum of 10,000 ft³ (283 m³).
How It Works
International Ozone describe the process this way: UVA light at 365–385 nm from the Titan's TiO₂ photocatalytic lamps passes through an anatase titanium dioxide coated reactor. Electron–hole pairs form and react with water vapour and oxygen in the air, producing free electrons and hydroxyl radicals. The fan disperses them, and they break down organic and inorganic gases, air pollutants and odour molecules into carbon dioxide and water.
The Titan produces no ozone, so a space can stay occupied while it runs, as International Ozone state. That is its main difference from an ozone generator, which needs the space cleared.
Hydroxyl vs Ozone: What to Expect
International Ozone note that the Titan takes four to eight times longer than ozone to neutralise odours. Do not judge it in the first few hours. Choose it when the space cannot be evacuated; choose ozone when it can and speed matters.
Humidity matters too. Hydroxyl generation depends on water vapour in the incoming air, so in dry conditions a Titan Hydroxyl Maximiser behind the unit helps.
A hydroxyl generator deals with airborne odour and gases. It does not remove the source. Clean and remove the odour source first, then run the Titan.
Applications
- Fire and water damage restoration where occupants stay on site
- Smoke, cooking and general odours in occupied homes and offices
- Hospitality and retail spaces that cannot close for an ozone treatment

Where the CCW listing and the spec sheet differ, both are shown. Size the job on the lower figure.
Voltage: CCW supplies the Titan as a 230 V, 50 Hz Australian build with an Australian plug. International Ozone's published spec sheets describe the 110 V US model; the electrical figures on them do not apply to CCW stock.
Maintenance
The TiO₂ photocatalytic lamp is self-cleaning and performs at its best for up to 8,000 hours, according to International Ozone. Keep the washable filter clean so airflow through the reactor is not restricted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can people stay in the room while it runs?
Yes. The Titan produces no ozone, which is why it is used where a space cannot be cleared. Follow International Ozone's operating instructions.
Why is it slower than ozone?
International Ozone state it takes four to eight times longer than ozone to neutralise odours. Plan for a longer run time.
Does it kill germs?
We do not make germ-kill or health claims for the Titan in Australia. It is sold for odour, VOC and air quality work.
Which Titan do I need?
Size on room volume: Titan 1000 for single rooms, Titan 2000 for larger rooms, Titan 4000 for large-scale restoration projects.
What about dry conditions?
Hydroxyl production depends on humidity. Use a Titan Hydroxyl Maximiser in dry conditions.
A Note on Earlier Versions of This Page
Earlier versions of this page carried International Ozone's US marketing: that the Titan 1000 "kills germs", performs "decontamination" and "germ-destroying services", is "100% safe" in inhabited areas, and is ideal for doctors' waiting rooms, nursing homes and day care centres. Claims that an air-treatment device kills germs or protects health are therapeutic claims in Australia and need evidence and approvals we do not hold, so they have been removed. The Titan is sold here for odour, VOC and air quality work. The unit is unchanged.
