Diversey Aquafoam

About

Diversey Aquaform is a unique, fast-acting, odourless disinfectant that has been commercially proven in applications including; cooling water treatment water recycling, irrigation water treatment and sewage water disinfection. In 2019/20 Diversey has introduced Aquaform to the fresh produce industry as a more efficient and safe alternative to traditional solutions including chlorine and peracetic acid. Aquaform harnesses the power of performic acid generated in-situ in a controlled and safe manner through the use of Diversey’s own generation, application and 24/7 monitoring system. BENEFITS- Powerful oxidising disinfectant • Superior microbiological reduction compared to traditional direct food contact solutions • Safe, odourless • Environmentally clean, producing only carbon dioxide and water as by-products • No corrosion risk to plant materials • Generated in-situ in a controlled and safe manner ensuring chemical availability for any production requirements AQUAFORM IMPACT- FOOD SAFETY No chlorate residues - Increased operator safety, avoiding risk of chlorine gas - No perceptible odour - even at elevated dose rates irritation from the product does not occur. OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY - Reduced downtime due to chlorine levels - 24/7 Remote system monitoring - Customised alarm protocols SUBSTAINABILITY - Rapidly breaks down to water and a low level of Carbon Dioxide - Reduces effluent treatment requirements Tested and verified by BRI Campden Comparison to Chlorine: “Efficiency of various levels of free Chlorine and Aquaform in decontaminating a mixed salad against E.coli 0157, Salmonella and Listeria” states in the summary “ The results have shown that the Aquaform 430mV [28-30ppm] wash seemed to perform as well as or slightly better than 100ppm free chlorine against salmonella, listeria and E.coli.” Comparison to Peracetic Acid: At a like for like dose rate with peracetic acid, Aquaform is approximately 25-30% more powerful in the reduction of microorganisms.
