Aquentium Retained By Food Processing Company For Pre-Engineering Of Ozone Sanitation Technology
Perris - Aquentium, Inc. a diversified company with a focus on "green technologies" announced recently that the company has been retained by a food processing company in Puerto Rico to perform pre-engineering services for the company's ozone sanitation technology. The pre-engineering will focus on the ozone applications for food processing, plant sanitation and water treatment equipment.
The Aquentium ozone non-chemical sanitation equipment is designed for both cost savings and improved safety standards for food processors. The uniqueness of the Aquentium equipment is that ozone is over 50% more effective than chemicals and over 3,000 times faster acting than chemicals. Ultimately, Aquentium believes that we have better technology to combat e-coli, salmonella, listeria and other bacteria or viruses than what most food processors are currently using.
The Aquentium Cleaning Antimicrobial Systems, developed for the food, beverage , hospitality, education and medical industries, is an ozone-based cold water technology that meets and exceeds the microbial reductions commonly attained with conventional hot water and chemical applications. Benefits of the Aquentium Cleaning Antimicrobial Systems, listed below, support a rapid return on investment. Ozone is also safer for the workers since there are no chemicals to handle. Ozone is generated from Oxygen and is non-toxic.
- Up to 100% Reduction of Hot Water
- Up to 100% Reduction in Sanitizer Chemical
- Up to 80% Reduction in Degreasers Foaming Agents
- Up to 68% Reduced Water Volume
- Can Be Used In-Process
- Direct Product Treatment (RTE) with No Labeling Requirements
Designed for surface cleaning and sanitation, as well as direct product treatment, the Aquentium cleaning antimicrobial systems provide multi-surface cleaning and sanitation for wash down food processing equipment; walls and floors; drains and chutes; tanks, barrels and totes; etc. Application designs for existing CIP system conversions, and attachments for application in enclosed containers/tanks, are also available.
In addition to purification of air and water, the Aquentium ozone equipment extends the shelf life of fresh food naturally - without the use of chemicals. The use of ozone in the food industry is approved by the USDA and FDA and is also approved for organic certification.
Other industries that the Aquentium non-chemical sanitation equipment can be utilized include:
- Restaurants
- Commercial Office Buildings
- Healthcare Facilities
- Schools
- Hotels
- Beverage Processing
- Dairy
- Entertainment Venues
- Veterinarians
- Laundry
- Waste Water
How Ozone Destroys Pathogens
Ozone eliminates or reduces pathogens by destroying the cell wall. Pathogens cannot develop resistance to ozone as they can to antibiotics, so there is no danger of developing superbugs through the use of ozone.
Why Ozone
Organisms Destroyed by Ozone Include: BACTERIA, CYSTS, YEAST, VIRUS, PROTOZOA, ALGAE, FUNGAL PATHOGENS
Ozone is the strongest disinfectant available, and is more than 3,100 times faster than chlorine in killing bacteria.
Ozone air treatment applications eliminates odors.
Ozone disinfection produces no harmful by-products. In contrast, chlorine disinfection creates carcinogenic by-products.
Ozone dissolved in water completely reverts to regular oxygen within 20 minutes, so there is no residue. For this reason, disinfection must always be accomplished with ozone water fresh from the tap.
Ozone dissolved in water is completely safe and rinsing your hands in ozone water will sanitize better than using any chemicals or soap and water.
Ozone is created instantly by the Aquentium disinfection system, so there are no more chemical sanitizers to buy.
Ozone also works best in cold water, reducing energy costs for heating water.
The goal at Aquentium and all of its distributors is to eliminate chemicals and hot water during the sanitation process. A further goal is to help prevent contamination of food. With the Aquentium non-chemical process, we can extend the shelf life of food products which means higher profits for processors and less waste for the consumer. Ozone is also safer for the workers since there are no chemicals to handle.
