System and method of microbiocidal gas generation

摘要

An apparatus and method of microbiocidal gas generation includes generating a microbiocidal agent, such as lactic acid, without the need for a carrier gas. A liquid microbiocidal agent is introduced into a heat exchanger where it is heated to generate a gaseous miocrobiocidal agent without a carrier gas for use with food products, while eliminating the costs, additional equipment and additional steps associated with the use of a carrier gas in the generation of microbiocidal agents.
