SDC in the food industry
A regulated technology for specific uses in process water, equipment, and certain foods — where microbiological control and traceability need to go hand in hand.
Regulated application
International standards describe specific applications and show how to integrate ClO₂ into traceable processes.
A moleculemultiple engineering disciplines
In the food industry, water can wash, transport, cool, and come into direct contact with the product. Each circuit can also become a path for cross-contamination.
ClO₂ gained ground because it can be generated and monitored during the process, operate across a wide pH range, and integrate automated lines. The real innovation is not in “using a chemical,” but in making water a controlled and documented step of production.
Water is no longer a blind spot
Generation, dosage, residual, and water renewal can be integrated into line controls, reducing operational variability.
Control at every point of the line
Food, contact water, equipment, and environment each receive their own strategies within the same operational plan.
