Food processing - Water disinfection, general disinfection

food industry

Over the past several years there has been an increase in the frequency and variety of microbial contaminants found in all types of water ranging from drinking water, industrial process water and water used for food processing purposes.

Traditional methods employed to disinfect water include:

Water disinfection and disinfection in general

1-Reduced operating costs

2-Replaces chlorine and is more efficient

3-Free of chemical additives

4-Ideal for remote locations

5-Eco friendly

6-Multiuse, for water disinfection and disinfection in general

SANIFLUID®: How it works

Combining salt, water, and electricity

-Salt and water are activated by an electrical current to produce a disinfectant

-The disinfectant SANIFLUID® is a HOCl (hypochlorous acid) rich solution

-SANIFLUID® remains stable for extended periods of time

-SANIFLUID® is an extremely effective disinfectant (>100 times more effective than OCl-)

-SANIFLUID® penetrates the cell membrane by osmosis

-Destroys bacteria and virus from within

-Removes and prevents biofilm (breeding ground for bacteria)

-Always active

Solutions for the food industry

Food Processing

The system:

SANIFLUID® is dosed directly into the mains water pipe. The measurement and control system stores the operating parameters for audit purposes.

The result:

SANIFLUID® guarantees that water treated conforms to national potable water standards, reduces maintenance and disinfection costs.

Example: Continuous sterilizers

One of the largest producers of canned food in Germany needed to replace the existing cooling water disinfection of the continuous sterilizers. The use of chlorine dioxide had caused major damage (corrosion) in the stainless steel piping infrastructure.

Solution:

The mains water in the production facility is disinfected by dosing SANIFLUID® resulting in a concentration of free chlorine of approx 0,6 ppm. The concentration of free chlorine in the 3 sterilizers is controlled by a control hub. On demand, SANIFLUID® is added to maintain the correct chlorine level. SANIFLUID® is produced centrally and distributed to the sterilizers. All relevant operational data are logged locally and forwarded automatically to the central production and quality control systems.

Results:

Complete automation of cooling water disinfection with minimal use of a on-site produced disinfectant. Complying to the highest safety standards. No corrosion in piping infrastructure.
