PathX™ Salmonella Control System
 The
PathX™ Salmonella Control System provides
total process protection beginning at the scalders and ending at
the exit end of the immersion chillers. PathX™ matches the
characteristics of its antimicrobial agents with those of the process
waters being treated by converting sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) into
either
Hypochlorous Acid or Monochloramine as required for the particular
application.
Scalders and Pickers are high in temperature and heavy in organic
load. These processes are fed with reuse water from the birdwashers
and final rinse cabinets and treated as required with monochloramine
(NH2Cl). Monochloramine is a tasteless, odorless, combined form
of chlorine that is stable at high temperatures (cannot be boiled
out of water) and does not react with organics as readily as highly
oxidative disinfectants.
Birdwashers and Final Rinse Cabinets, which utilize potable water
with minimal organic load or chlorine demand, are treated with hypochlorous
acid (HOCl). Hypochlorous acid is the most oxidative form of chlorine
and is continuously produced by the PathX™ process through
an automated pH controlled chlorination regime.
Immersion Chillers, which contain a high organic load and a resultant
high chlorine demand, are treated by the PathX™ process with
monochloramine (NH2Cl). Due to its stability in organically laden
water
monochloramine is continuously available for disinfection and has
proven itself to be a superior disinfectant to other highly oxidative
antimicrobials.
By treating process waters from the scalders through the chillers
the CT (Concentration-Time) Values achieved by the PathX™
Salmonella Control System far exceed those of even the most powerful
disinfectants currently used in single point intervention processes.
Consequently the PathX™ process has proven itself to be a
consistent, effective defense against the foodborne pathogen challenges
facing the poultry industry.
