SUCCESS STORY: WASHINGTON APPLE PROCESSOR
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Cold Storage & Packing, Washington
-
Fruit processor
-
4,000 gallon wash tank
-
Wash tank is drained and refilled weekly due to bacteria load
-
Treatment consisted of calcium hypochlorite and acid
FLOW-TECH SOLUTION
Wash Flume Bacteria Control
-
One (1) 6" Flow-Tech unit installed at transmission line
RESULTS
Biologic control: non-detect achieved
-
Existing biofilm removed and future biofilm prevented
-
Spike in dip slides two days after treatment began indicate biofilm being dislodged – this is consistent with Flow-Tech's effect
-
-
Non-detect is achieved two days after spike in bacteria count
-
Customer reduced chemical use and indicated that the water could be held for extended periods of time allowing for significant future water savings
