This innovative system, designed to provide comprehensive sanitization, leverages ozone vapor to deliver unmatched pathogen reduction in hard-to-reach areas of production facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How the AOS Certified Technology Works<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AOS Certified Whole Room Sanitization system uses a cutting-edge approach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ozone Vapor Generation<\/strong>: On-demand production of non-condensing ozone humidity ensures consistent and safe sanitization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Full Room Coverage<\/strong>: The ozone vapor permeates difficult-to-access areas, such as drains, corners, and hidden equipment parts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Chemicals Needed<\/strong>: The system relies solely on air and water to generate ozone vapor, eliminating the need for chemical sanitizers and associated costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether in <strong>wet or dry facilities<\/strong>, the AOS Certified technology is flexible and effective, delivering powerful sanitization without leaving harmful residues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Validated by Science: Proven Pathogen Reduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three independent studies have demonstrated the efficacy of the AOS Certified system in reducing harmful pathogens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Listeria<\/strong>: A field trial in a smoked fish packaging facility showed a dramatic reduction in <strong>Listeria monocytogenes<\/strong> on environmental surfaces, from <strong>12% positive to just 0.4% positive<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>E. coli<\/strong>: Laboratory studies revealed significant reductions in <strong>Escherichia coli<\/strong> inoculated on agar plates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lactobacillus<\/strong>: The system also effectively reduced <strong>lactobacillus<\/strong>, a common spoilage organism, in laboratory tests.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These results highlight the system&#8217;s ability to safeguard food production environments against both pathogens and spoilage organisms, enhancing food safety and extending product shelf life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Advantages for Food Processing Facilities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AOS Certified technology offers a range of benefits for food manufacturers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Comprehensive Sanitization<\/strong>: Ensures even hard-to-reach areas are thoroughly sanitized.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cost Savings<\/strong>: No need for chemical sanitizer purchases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety and Sustainability<\/strong>: Leaves no harmful residues, making it an environmentally friendly choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Versatile Application<\/strong>: Works effectively in both wet and dry processing environments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Data-Driven Monitoring<\/strong>: Dow Microbial Control provides standardized reports and certification for every treatment, ensuring compliance with audit requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Game-Changer in Pathogen Control<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Food safety is a critical concern for food manufacturers, and the AOS Certified Whole Room Sanitization system provides an innovative, reliable solution. By combining scientific validation with operational ease, Dow Microbial Control is setting a new standard in pathogen control for the food industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This system not only reduces risks associated with harmful pathogens like <strong>listeria<\/strong> and <strong>E. coli<\/strong> but also supports sustainability by eliminating the use of traditional chemical disinfectants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Food manufacturers can now benefit from enhanced protection, improved operational efficiency, and the peace of mind that comes with a safer, cleaner production environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dow Microbial Control, a division of Dow Chemical Co., has announced promising findings from recent field
