OVERVIEW
OxyPro is available exclusively through Pro Wash Poultry.
OxyPro is a chlorine dioxide generation program used as a water sanitiser and as a food processing aid. OxyPro uses a three part precursor program (Part A, B and C) to generate a chlorine dioxide solution for on-site application.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
OxyPro is ideal for sanitation of drinking water and sanitation or bleaching functions in food processing operations as outlined in the Food Standard (1.3.3) for Processing Aids. It is a superior method of chlorine dioxide generation because:
- It uses liquid components which are easily mixed manually or with automated mixing and control systems.
- Its stated mixing rates create relatively stable activated solutions that do not demand degassing dosing pumps.
- It uses an organic acid for activation which is less hazardous than mineral acid activation systems.
- Its stated mixing rates create activated solutions with concentrations well below the explosion risk level.
Pro Wash Poultry also has Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Drum Pumps, Dosing Systems, Testing Products and Equipment. For more information and sales please contact Pro Wash Poultry.
ABOUT CHLORINE DIOXIDE
Chlorine Dioxide is a gas that can kill bacteria, fungi, algae, viruses and spores when in contact with these organisms from a few seconds to several minutes. Chlorine dioxide is a disinfectant, virucidal, tuberculocidal, sterilant, and food contact surface sanitizer. What makes chlorine dioxide different from other sanitizers/disinfectants is the WAY it destroys pathogens. Because chlorine dioxide exists as a gas in water, it is basically "breathed in" by the cell instead of having to break down the cell wall. This allows for a rapid, almost immediate kill. Perhaps the biggest advantage of chlorine dioxide over other sanitizers is that bacteria cannot develop a resistance to it. In order for most sanitizers to remain effective, you would need to continually increase the strength in order to achieve a consistent level of kill. This is not the case with chlorine dioxide.
ATTRIBUTES OF ClO2
- ClO2 is a gas that is very soluble in water and exists as a gas in water
- ClO2 is a chemical oxidizer, but does not chlorinate (ClO2 has no chlorine residual)
- ClO2 is a powerful biocide that is effective in air or in water over a wide pH range
- ClO2 is a deodorizer
- ClO2 can kill organisms in biofilms
- ClO2 is non-corrosive to most equipment and surfaces
- ClO2 does not form chlorinated by-products
- ClO2 does not form chloramines
- ClO2 flushes quickly from a system
- ClO2 is a neutrally charged gas in water
- ClO2 solution is non-carcinogenic, and has even been used to treat drinking water
- ClO2 effectively controls slims, algae and biofilm
- ClO2 does not react with ammonia or other cleansers and detergents
- ClO2 has a higher microbial destruction potential over chlorine compounds
- Regrowth of bacteria following destruction by chlorine dioxide is lower than with other sanitizers
- Bacteria cannot develop a resistance to chlorine dioxide, unlike most sanitizers
- Contact time for killing microbes is among the lowest of all sanitizers
- Requires no special disposal for solution or packaging (Environmentally friendly)
- Will not contribute to damaging the ozone layer (ClO2 is a heavier than air gas)
USAGE
OxyPro is designed to be activated on site in a batch tank or with an automatic mixing system to achieve a chlorine dioxide solution with a concentration of between 450mg/L and 1,800mg/L. The resulting solution should then be dosed into the treated water to achieve the residual concentration required to verify sanitation; typically, residuals between 0.5mg/L and 0.8mg/L are sufficient to sanitise drinking water and to stop microbial fouling. When a system is heavily fouled, a one-off off-line treatment may be required to sanitise the system.
When chlorine dioxide is used as a processing aid for food products, care should be taken to ensure that residuals are within the guidelines set out in Standard 1.3.3 of the Food Standards Code.
