BioIonix Process
Customer Benefits

  • Solves serious food safety disinfection problems without the use of hazardous chemicals or radiation.
  • Permits the reuse of water by food processors and industrial plants.
  • Unlike ultraviolet radiation, it works in turbid and colored liquid streams with suspended and dissolved solids.
  • Unlike chlorine and ozone, it produces no carcinogenic or dangerous byproducts and substantially reduces the risk of nuisance gas levels.
  • Unlike UV, there is no risk of hazardous material exposure, such as broken glass and mercury release. No ballast ground faults either.
  • The BioIonix process destroys pharmaceutical residuals, eliminating costly add-on equipment and chemicals.
  • As an added benefit, the BioIonix process significantly reduces odors.

BioIonix Process Applications

BioIonix, Inc. is a supplier of solutions to advanced disinfection and oxidation problems faced by industrial and municipal customers worldwide. The company's products are based on its proprietary and patented electrochemical processes along with its growing applications knowhow. Major customer installations along with pilot and lab scale research already have shown that the BioIonix process can offer significant advantages in the following applications:

Food Safety & Water Reuse

Meat Processing Brine Disinfection Meat Processing Brine Disinfection Vegetable and Fruit Wash Water Disinfection for Recycling Use Clean-In-Place Water Disinfection for Reuse

Processed meats chiller
brine disinfection

Poultry chiller
water disinfection

Fresh-cut vegetable and fruit flume water disinfection

Reverse osmosis and UF membrane fouling prevention and feed stream disinfection

Food safety concerns, water shortages, increasing wastewater disposal fees and a move to reduce chemical usage now require more cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions for the disinfection of food and food processing rinse water.

Unlike alternatives, BioIonix’s electrochemical technology disinfects without the use of toxic chemicals and produces no harmful carcinogenic byproducts or toxic gases. Food related process waters are disinfected rapidly, making them ready for a variety of reuse applications.

Applications include:

  • Poultry chiller water disinfection.
    Read more details here: Poultry Chiller Applications Note.
  • Fresh-cut fruit and vegetable wash water disinfection.
    Read more details here: Fresh-Cut Produce Applications Note.
  • Reverse osmosis and UF membrane fouling prevention and feed stream disinfection.
    BioIonix treats the feed liquid to reduce biofilm formation and to control pathogens, maintaining membrane flux rates and permitting longer running times before CIP.
  • Water reuse.
    Disinfection of other high volume plant process water to permit its reuse upstream, or for other plant needs.
