METHOD AND SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING MICROORGANISMS AND TURBIDITY IN RETORT COOLING WATER USING AN AQUEOUS OZONE SOLUTION

摘要

Methods and systems for treating cooling water of a retort are described. The methods and systems generate an aqueous ozone solution and combine the aqueous ozone solution with the cooling water. The methods and systems provide a safe, economical, easy to handle, and environmentally friendly solution for maintaining a retort cooling water system. The systems and methods herein remove contaminates from the cooling water, supply a continuous sanitizer created on-site, reduce the need for additional chemicals, and reduce the labor costs attributed to maintaining the retort cooling water system.

主权项

1. A method for maintaining retort cooling water, comprising:
forming an aqueous ozone solution; directing the aqueous ozone solution to a retort cooling water system containing cooling water; combining the aqueous ozone solution into the cooling water; circulating the cooling water through the retort cooling water system; overflowing a holding tank of the retort cooling water system; and, draining a portion of the cooling water from the holding tank.
