Apparatus, methods, and systems for cleaning and controlling bacteria growth, such as in fluid supply lines

摘要

A noncaustic system for cleaning and controlling bacteria growth in fluid supply lines, containers, or on objects. The system includes an electrolytic cell generating aqueous solutions of supersaturated oxygen via electrolytic chemistry. The electrolyzed or treated water has both cleaning and antimicrobial effects when dispensed in fluid supply lines having beverage deposits, a layer or coating of bacteria, yeast, microorganisms or polysaccharide layers formed therein. The present invention further increases the germicidal activity of the above system toward microorganisms that may adhere and grow on the interior surfaces of the fluid supply line.
