The poultry processor invited Radial Waters to make a presentation, according to Chubby Chick Factory Manager Desmond (Des) du Preez. The producer considered and then committed to a pilot plant at its main location, which would enable the use of both components of Radical Waters’ electro-chemical activation (ECA) process: the Anolyte as a disinfectant and the detergent Catholyte for cleaning. These two solutions are used extensively in several different applications ranging from disinfection to cleaning in both an economical and an environmentally friendly manner.
The pilot exercise proved successful, and Anolyte has subsequently been successfully used at Chubby Chick for several years as a disinfectant. “Anolyte is used at a 30 percent concentration as a final rinse on portions prior to packing for several customers in order to lower microbial loads and extend shelf life,” says du Preez.
