SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERACETIC ACID MONITORING AND ADJUSTMENT IN HIGH PH SOLUTIONS
A system and method for adjusting a peroxycarboxylic acid are described. In an embodiment, the system comprises a process water source configured to carry process water; a valve configured to selectively place a source of a peroxy carboxylic acid in fluidic communication with the process water source; a first pump configured to pump an aliquot of the process water from the process water source to a testing location; a second pump in fluidic communication with a source of an acid and configured to pump a portion of the acid to the testing location in a combined flow with the aliquot; a peroxycarboxylic acid sensor positioned in the testing location and configured to generate a peroxy carboxylic acid signal based upon a concentration of the peroxy carboxylic acid in the combined flow; a pH sensor positioned in the testing location configured to generate a pH signal based on a pH of the combined flow.
Provided are foodstuff treatment systems that are convertible between a processing mode in which foodstuffs are processed (e.g., disinfected) and a clean-in-place mode in which the system operates to clean material (e.g., biological buildup) that has accumulated within the system.
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for treatment of substrates—such as foodstuffs—with a high pH composition and an oxidizer. These systems and methods give rise to enhanced disinfection performance.
