SESTBIO Chlorine dioxide for food processing

Food processing industry its production processes are prone to microbial contamination due to continual contact with foreign surfaces and water in several cases.Hence, it is very important to choose a suitable disinfectant which effectively addresses the sanitation challenges in food plants. Poor sanitation of food contact surfaces has been a contributing factor to outbreaks of food borne diseases. These outbreaks are caused by pathogens in food, especially Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus aureus. Inadequate sanitation of surfaces facilitates rapid soil building, which in the presence of water shapes an ideal precondition for bacterial biofilm forming. Biofilm is considered to pose a significant health risk in the dairy industry because it can harbor pathogens, and direct contact with them can lead to food contamination.Biofilm control is often performed using strong oxidizing agents like chlorine and peracetic acids, however, with limited effects.

SESTBIO Chlorine Dioxide Features: 

• CIO2 is WHO-approved for both pretreatment and final disinfection of potable water. It eliminates such microorganisms as escherichia coli and other coliforms, listeria, staphylococcus aureus, giardia cysts, algae and salmonella.
•  CIO2 has consistently been shown to be the best molecule for eradicating the causative organism of legionnaires’ disease.
• CIO2 effectively removes hard water components i.e. iron and manganese, promotes flocculation, and aids in the removal of turbidity.
• CIO2 does not combine with organics to form suspected carcinogens such as THM’s or haloacetic acids (HAA’s).
•  CIO2 provides a lasting residual throughout the distribution system to reduce or eliminate the subsequent growth of bacteria, viruses, and algae.
• CIO2 is ideal for industrial water systems and community water purification plants. CIO2 is also ideal for smaller water supplies such as cisterns and hospital water systems.
