Water disinfection HOCl - For horticulture

HORTICULTURE

Over the past several years there has been an increase in the frequency and variety of microbial contaminants found in water ranging from drinking water, industrial process water and water used for agricultural purposes. Such contamination is often responsible for salmonella, cholera, e.coli in vegetables. The frequent salad contamination cases could be prevented with proper water treatment and vegetable disinfection.

Traditional methods employed to disinfect water include:

SANIFLUID®: How it works

The Sanifluid

Generator

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

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 (>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

Disinfection in agriculture

Food handling

The shelf life of picked produce can be extended is there is a significant reduction in the count of microbes often present in agricultural water. Such water, and indeed the vegetables themselves, is exposed to pollutants associated with farming, including feces and urine of the laborers in the field. This is a particularly serious situation in large fields where toilets are not available or far away. The risks for the transmission of diseases through salads, are consequently a reason for concern. The economic and legal and human consequences of such contamination are extremely serious.

To deal with this all water used in the processing facility is treated with the appropriate amount of SANIFLUID® to eliminate pathogens, thereby decreasing the bacteriological count. Salad, which is to be consumed raw, is further treated with SANIFLUID® to reduce risks and to help extend shelf life by reducing bacteriological count.

SANIFLUID® eliminates bacterial contamination in washing machines and water storage tanks. Please contact us with your specific concerns. We will strive to identify and solve the existing and potential problems your organization might have.
