Application in Food Food safety concerns require treatment of water systems that may contain pathogens that come in contact with food products, where pathogens may harbor and can become a potential source of food borne illness. APS Chlorine Dioxide water treatment provides an excellent way to treat the water and disinfect any harmful micro-organisms in the water and water distribution systems. Water distribution systems, including water tanks, reservoirs, pipes and valves build up a polysaccharide coating of biofilm that trap bacteria, and creates harborage for potentially harmful microbes. Spray bar water treatment Spray water is used on a variety of products for washing and rinsing of fresh fruits and vegetables. Chorine Dioxide provides very effective water treatment to potable water microbial quality, and provides a clean and treated water source. Packing House Dump Tank Post harvest dump tanks are commonly used for tomatoes, melons, apples, peaches, stone fruits, cucumbers, and many other products. Micro-organisms that wash in to these tanks can become a source of cross contamination risk. Harmful pathogens create a risk for food borne illness, and treatment of this water system with the APS chlorine dioxide system can be highly effective, and an essential part of a food safety program. Ice Injector Post harvest cooling of vegetables such as broccoli and corn in an ice injection system can build up micro-organisms in the ice slurry, as field dirt and debris gets washed in to the slurry reservoir. APS chlorine dioxide is a simple treatment which may be easily applied to an ice injection system to treat this waste water to potable water microbial quality, and prevent the risk of cross contamination. Water treatment is an essential part of an effective food safety program. Hydro-Cooler Post harvest hydro cooling system has a recirculating water reservoir, where bacteria and other harmful micro-organisms can build up over time as they wash off the produce surface. Continuous treatment of this water is required in order to prevent a cross contamination risk, and is an essential part of food safety program. APS chlorine dioxide system provides a highly effective, simple and affordable treatment solution.   Application in Horticulture Greenhouses and Nursery Plants are affected by microbial build up in recirculating water systems, as well as incoming pathogen load from water sources including reservoirs, ponds, lakes, wells, river and recycled waste water systems etc. APS Chlorine Dioxide Water disinfection results in these various water sources to be treated to potable water microbial quality. Benefits for Greenhouse and Nursery Healthy plants, with high yield and quality depend greatly on water quality. Treatment with APS Chlorine Dioxide treatment system results in pathogen free water supply. Hydroponics Hydroponic Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Peppers, Lettuce and other products greatly benefit from the APS chlorine dioxide treatment due to its very low plant toxicity, and high treatment benefits. APS chlorine dioxide treatment is highly effective at very low dose rate. Treatment of the recirculating waste water can eliminate the risk of cross contamination that can spread root and plant disease. Main Water System Continuous low dose treatment of the main incoming water and any recirculating water disinfects the water distribution system, as well as removes and prevents the growth of any microbes. Water treatment to potable water standards for irrigation Water sources such as surface water, rivers, lakes, ponds, open reservoirs, wells and reclaimed waste water may be effectively treated to potable water standards, with the APS chlorine dioxide treatment. Fixed or portable trailer mounted systems may be designed for field use, up to 5000 gpm water flow.
