Superior High Temperature Sanitization for Consistent Product Quality
In numerous pure water applications, hot water sanitization is utilized to ensure consistent product quality, bacteria-free packaging and membrane system performance. When “biocide” isn’t an option, or choice, high temperature water is an effective and cost-efficient solution for many applications. Since Pasteur’s discovery in 1865, moist heat sanitization, or Pasteurization, has been used to kill any bacteria or microbes to a safe level. Heat conveyed by hot water acts on microorganisms by denaturation and coagulation of protein chains. The table below shows approximate operating conditions (temperature and period of time) for moist heat eradication.
