 THE CONVENTIONAL APPROACH
|
For years, cleaning and sanitizing have been performed off hours, after the completion of production, using a combination of chemical degreasers, chemical sanitizers, and hot water. Typically, the following process is used:
- High Pressure Hot Water Pre-Rinse
- Chemical Degreaser / Foaming Agent (with dwell time)
- High Pressure Hot Water Rinse
- Chemical Sanitizing Agent

THE WHITEWATER APPROACH
|
|
Today, our WhiteWater Cleaning & Sanitizing System replaces conventional chemical degreasers, chemical sanitizers, and hot water with a patented combination of ozone and cold water. And instead of performing sanitation only during off hours, our WhiteWater System cleans and sanitizes continuously during production as well as during mid-shift or off-hours sanitation:
- Permanently-mounted WhiteWater Spray Bars continuously apply low-pressure ozone-infused cold water to food product during production, insuring that product quality is maximized.
- Permanently-mounted WhiteWater Spray Bars continuously apply low-pressure ozone-infused cold water to conveyor belts and other moving equipment during production, insuring that clean and sanitized surfaces are maintained throughout the day.
- Handheld WhiteWater Spray Stations are used during mid-shift or off-hours sanitation to simultaneously apply, in two parallel streams, low-pressure ozone-infused cold water and high-pressure cold water to dirty surfaces. This DualStreamTM Technology insures that dirty surfaces are cleaned and sanitized.

WHITEWATER VS. OTHER OZONE SYSTEMS
|
The principal difference between WhiteWater Cleaning & Sanitizing Systems and other ozone systems is that other ozone systems sanitize, while WhiteWater Systems sanitize and clean. What does that mean to you?
As mentioned above, sanitation has traditionally been performed off hours, after the completion of production, using a combination of chemical degreasers, chemical sanitizers, and hot water. Typically, the following process is used:
- High Pressure Hot Water Pre-Rinse
- Chemical Degreaser / Foaming Agent (with dwell time)
- High Pressure Hot Water Rinse
- Chemical Sanitizing Agent
Other ozone systems simply replace step #4 with ozone. Step #4 represents about 10% of the total cost of sanitation, so the opportunity for cost savings is minimal. All you’re doing is replacing chemical sanitizers with an ozone generator. You’re still buying chemical degreasers. You’re still paying to heat water. You're still spending many hours per day performing a 4-step sanitation process. And you still can't increase production.
WhiteWater Cleaning & Sanitizing Systems replace steps 1-4 with one, and at the most two, steps:
- Apply DualStreamTM low-pressure ozone-infused cold water and high-pressure cold water to clean and sanitize
- Apply low-pressure ozone-infused cold water to sanitize (this is an optional step)
By consolidating the 4 steps associated with conventional sanitation into a highly-efficient 1- or 2-step process, WhiteWater Systems enable customers to minimize sanitation time and labor, maximize production, and nearly eliminate the use of chemicals and hot water.
