Are pH Control Problems Giving you Headaches?

Information Data Sheet for Sizing pH Control System

Pathogen Management

System

(Patent # 6,605,308)

 

 

"FOR YOUR

TOTAL PLANT PATHOGEN

MANAGEMENT"

CONVERTING THE CHLORINATED SOLUTION TO 98% EFFECTIVE HYPOCHLOROUS ACID

"THE CLEANEST CARCASSES IN THE INDUSTRY"

Advantages

  • Most efficient use of Hypochlorous Acid (chlorine)

  • Attacks Pathogens at multiple points

  • No additional chemicals that are not presently being used in the plant

  • Approved by USDA for online re-processing (orp)

  • Great pH Control at application point

  • Effluent wastewater concerns are reduced

Pick/Kill Area

  • Begins the Pathogen Management Process

  • Attacks Pathogens that enter the plant from grow out

  • Reduction of organic load entering the processing area

  • Reduces cross contamination during scald and other pick locations

  • Aids in the picking process

  • Cleaner scald water

EVIS/IOBW

  • Attacks Pathogens due to cross contamination during EVIS process

  • Aids to maintain Zero Fecal Standards

  • Online Re-processing (ORP)

Carcass Chiller System

  • Eliminates the cross contamination in the chiller water

  • Produces Pathogen Results below USDA requirements

  • Meets FSIS Chlorine Standards for carcass chillers

Results

  • Maintains standards below the USDA requirements for Salmonella and E-Coli as per 9-CFR-381.94 and 9-CFR-381.65

  • Currently testing for future pre-chill E-Coli standards

Other Attack Points

  • Further Processing

  • Storage Boxes

  • Live bird cages

  • Transport trailers

  • Wash down (Indoors/outdoors)

What is Hypochlorous Acid?

  • Inhibitory or lethal activity depends on the amount of Free Available Chlorine (as Hypochlorous Acid, or HOCL) in the water that comes in contact with microbial cells.

  • The dissociation of HOCL depends on pH, temperature, and the amount of chlorine that is consumed on contact with the organic matter.

  • Depending on the pH of the source water, the Hypochlorous acid will undergo complete or partial dissociation as follows:

CL2 + H2O    HOCL + HCL

HOCL    H+ + OCL-

 

The significance of this disassociation is that Hypochlorous acid is a much more effective germicidal agent than the Hypochlorite ion.
