Countless unfounded articles have been written to alarm (scare) the public into not consuming meat products such as chicken. Food preparation is the key to safe consumption (Cooked properly) but did you know?
Meat packers, poultry chicken producers also take advanced precautionary methods to control cross contamination (such as fecal matter- coliform bacteria) during production process, adhering to strict USDA regulation and guidelines. (HACCP, FSIS, FDA, SQF) to identify food safety hazards.
Processing lines are equipped with antimicrobial intervention steps from CIP – Clean in place a process that continually sanitize production lines, to directly applied antimicrobial wash applications of whole chickens & parts (Wings, breast meat, legs (drum sticks) and thighs. New more innovative poultry/chicken meat processors are incorporating 100% sustainable (chemical Free) pathogen destruct systems like Ozone O3.
New technology and advance science has made this possible. Ozone in a very powerful natural pathogen that kills E.coli, Salmonella, listeria and an army of other germs/bacteria’s yet reverts back to its natural state.
A new generation of Egg Producersand processors are pursuing advance HACCP {Hazard Analysis Critical control Points} planning and rigorous third party inspections such as SQF “Safe Quality Foods” to guarantee consumer food safety. Inspiring proactive quality assurance teams to leverage new technologies to enrich existing food safety programs and recognize the benefits of “economics of scale”. Applying cost reduction measures and improved processes to lower or eliminating chemical costs and extend the supply chain life cycle.
An advanced, state of the art new technology widely accepted by food processors is aqueous and ambient air (gas) Ozone generating systems, a very powerful and safe natural oxidant that replaces a host of chemicals.
The Ozone advantage begin with an four (4) point feed water benefit, starting with an (1) sanitizer killing viruses and parasites (2) eliminating odors (3) clarifying the color (4) better tasting feed water that leads to increased consumption and healthier poultry.
Harvesting, applied antimicrobial egg washing using ozone aqueous injection system replaces the traditional chemical systems with the added benefit of 100% sustainable (green technology) with no chemical residue left over on the shell of the egg.
CIP (Clean-In-Place) Exiting harvesting operations use a series of system to clean and sanitize their feed water systems and layer housing units. Feed water lines are flushed out with high volumes of water, citric acids or equivalent and high concentration of chlorine to flush out bio-films & calcium deposits. This method of cleaning can lead to a biological digestive track health issue. Using ozone consistently in your feed water system eliminates the need for high chemical concentrations and reduces the amount of water used to flush out a feed water system.
CIP Poultry house rotational cleaning, Ozone is used as the finishing sanitizer – disinfectant that does not harm layers, yet is a very strong disinfectant against Salmonella and other pathogens.
Gaseous Ozone, applications of warehousing and storage facilities is utilized as an antimicrobial interventions, mold and fungal step.
Egg layer and processors are moving forward with new technologies to gain a competitive advantage and improve customer food safety.

Ozone generator feed gases, not including ambient air.
1. Dry Air
Producing “Dry Air” can be done in a few different methods; one is by purchasing a cylinder of compressed dry air which is readily available from most bottled gas suppliers. (Similar to the picture of the green oxygen cylinders below)
Another method is to use the typical air preparation components, such as an air compressor, filters, desiccant dryer, and pressure regulators.
Air compressor
Refrigerated air drier
Air filter
The air should be clean and dry, with a maximum dew point of -60º C (-80º F) and free of contaminants. Particles greater than 1 micron and oil droplets greater than 0.05 micron should be removed by filtration (Langlais et al., 1991). Large or small particles and moisture cause arcing which damages the ozone generator dielectrics. To understand the importance of moisture which can be present in the feed-gas, read this page about the importance of dry air for ozone creation.
O2 bottles
2. Oxygen
Oxygen as a feed- gas provides additional ozone output when compared to using Dry Air.
Producing refined oxygen can be done in a few different methods; one is by purchasing a cylinder
of compressed oxygen which is readily available from most bottled gas suppliers.
Another method is to use an oxygen concentrator, preferably one that uses the PSA or Pressure Swing Adsorption method. Pressure swing adsorption is a process whereby a special molecular sieve is used under pressure to selectively remove nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and hydrocarbons from air, producing an oxygen rich (80–95 percent O2) feed gas. This method is similar in the quality of oxygen that would come from an oxygen cylinder. (pictured to the right above)
The two are not similar in the pressure that they can deliver. Compressed cylinders have a much higher pressure (PSI).

The table below presents a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of each gas feed system.

NOTE: From the table above, you learned that “Dry Air” can give you up to 3-4% by weight of ozone gas, whereas oxygen will allow up to 16% by weight. That’s either 36.21 or 193.12 grams meter cubed. That is a big difference!
If you are asking, why is this? It is because Ambient Air contains only 19% oxygen.
Choosing the correct feed gas will also depend upon what your application is. Some applications will need High concentrations of ozone while others can be conducted with Lower ozone concentrations.
We recently completed a pilot test using ozone for wastewater disinfection at a beef processing plant in Nebraska. This pilot test proved to be a great success and will now move into a full scale implementation. This is a recap on the pilot test that was performed.
Wastewater disinfection of E.coli was the main concern at this application. The limit on E.coli was 126 CFU/ml in the wastewater stream. Historically chlorine was used to meet these standards. However the limit on residual chlorine at this site was very low (0.001 ppm). To meet these standards additional chemicals are necessary. As limits on E.coli are tightened additional costs increase for both chlorination and chlorination. These increasing costs were the catalyst for ozone use at this location.
Total discharge wastewater flows range from 800 – 2000 GPM. This water is piped through a 10″ pipe for about 1/2 mile to a creek.
This customer had no method of ozone contacting, and no on-site compressed air. We decided to bring on-site a very high concentration ozone generator producing ozone from Liquid Oxygen Tanks (LOX).
Ozone was injected directly into the 10″ pipe in 2 separate locations using a proprietary ozone injection device. See image below.
Diagram below shows the entire system. LOX tanks provided oxygen at high pressures that were regulated to 40 PSI. This oxygen flowed at up to 80 LPM through the Semozon 250.3 Ozone Generator that was cooled with a recirculating water chiller. The ozone was split via flow meters to 2 locations for ozone injection.
Results:
Oxygen flows of 70 LPM produced 700 grams/hour of ozone at 11.6% by weight. This provided a 1.71 ppm ozone dosage rate into 1800 GPM of water. These parameters were used to collect data during the pilot test.
E.coli levels of 1700 cfu/ml were reduced to 30-40 cfu/ml consistently throughout the 1-week pilot test. This was well below the required discharge limit of 126 cfu/ml.
Ozone proved to be a success in this application and has the potential to eliminate the need for chlorination, and chlorination. Details on full scale implementation are in the works at this time.
