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
