Food Processing

The use of a specific concentration of chlorine dioxide provides precise control of microorganisms in the food and beverage industry, including brewing and bottling, washing fruits and vegetables, poultry and meat processing, fish processing, and dairy plants. Chlorine dioxide is a highly effective disinfectant as it does not react with most organic compounds in water. It also serves as an excellent odor neutralizer, effectively eliminating foul-smelling odors, including those found in the meat packing industry.

Some potential applications of ACTIVECLO2 products in the food processing industry include:

• - Fruit and vegetable processing

• - Poultry processing

• - Manufacturing food contact paper

• - Cleaning pasteurizers, warmers, and coolers

• - Disinfecting packing operations

• - Controlling flume water

• - Water treatment

• - Equipment disinfection

• - Disinfecting tankers, vehicles, and transportation vessels

Chlorine dioxide is particularly effective as a final sanitizing rinse in Cleaning in Place (CIP) systems, such as filler rooms, due to its low concentrations and short contact time. It leaves no toxic residues that could interfere with other chemical or biochemical processes. Additionally, it breaks down into harmless compounds, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional sanitizers. It does not produce toxic by-products, unlike chlorine.

Other uses of ACTIVECLO2 products include cleaning pasteurizers, bottle/can warmers and coolers, chain and conveyor spray in bakeries, washing crates, bottles, and staff hands, water purification, disinfection of water distribution and storage tanks, mold and odor control, and sanitation of tanker trucks, wagons, and transportation vessels. There are many more applications for ACTIVECLO2 products in food processing.
