Chlorine alternative kills bugs

Stabilised chlorine dioxide (SCD) is proving to be a cost-effective, safe and easy-to-manage alternative to chlorine for controlling microbiological contamination on hard surfaces and in process water for food industry applications. Harvest Wash, from Tristel Technologies, uses SCD technology and is suitable for use throughout the food processing environment as part of a hazard analysis critical control point (HACCP) programme.

Harvest Wash is a broad spectrum and fast acting product for controlling mould and odour. It is unaffected by pH or water hardness and is non-corrosive in normal use.

The wide range of applications for which it can be used includes disinfection of food contact surfaces, treatment of flume water and the control of human pathogens in sprouted beans and seeds.

The concentrate and activators are low hazard irritants, so handling and storage are straightforward.

Additionally, the facility to use different activators means that one product can be used for a variety of applications.
