Titrations to determine bottle wash detergent or peracetic acid concentration can be complicated and involve at least three reagents. However, new drop-test kits are available that make the whole process much easier, using either liquids or tablets.
There is a safer alternative to ozonation, using an electrolysis technique. The difference between normal electrolysis and this technique is the doping of the electrodes. No ozone is produced but the disinfection of the water is a log 10 reduction. Most important, there is no formation of bromate.
Only certain treatments are allowed for natural mineral water and spring water. Natural mineral water ideally should receive no treatment at all. The Newsletter provides more details.
Reducing greening of bottles is possible by correct choice of bottle wash detergent. Algal spores are everywhere, particularly in the dust covering the outside of bottles.
Is your Colilert® test working? Quanti-Cult® checks the effectiveness of the test method. Other conditions can give false positives. Read the Newsletter for more details.
Hydrogen peroxide disinfectants are ideal for use in the bottling plant and for cooler servicing because there is no taint and no residuals. Peroxide synergised with silver ions is even more effective against biofilm.
ATP meters have become smaller, more robust and distinctly more affordable. Measuring points include taps, reservoirs and drip trays.
