North Palm Springs, CA - (WORLD STOCK WIRE) - November 12, 2008 -- Aquentium, Inc. (OTCBB: AQNM) announced that the company will be hosting a seminar on Friday November 14, 2008 regarding its ozone equipment and systems for food and beverage processors. Aquentium’s ozone technology is designed for use in any meat, seafood, produce, dairy and beverages facility as well as grocery stores, restaraunts, hotels, schools and hospitals.
.
“Ozone is an excellent intervention regarding e-coli, listeria, and salmonella for processing and plant sanitation,” stated Aquentium President Mark Taggatz.
.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta Georgia compiled and analyzed information from multiple surveillance systems and other sources. It is estimated that food borne diseases cause approximately 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths in the United States each year.
.
Ozone, long known as a protective shield between humans and the sun's rays, has a very beneficial use in the food and beverage industries. Research has found that ozone enhances the freshness of fruits, vegetables, seafood and other food products and also replaces chemical sanitizers for CIP and plant sanitation.
.
“Our ozone equipment installed at any restaurant, grocery store, school, hospital or food/beverage processing facility would allow for sanitation without the need of chemicals or hot water. Treating food and processing equipment with the Aquentium ozone technology can significantly reduce the amount of bacteria that could potentially contaminate food,” commented Taggatz.
.
Until 2001, ozone could only be used as a disinfectant to treat bottled water. But its effectiveness as an antibacterial agent allowed the FDA and USDA to extend its use and allow direct contact with all food.
.
Traditionally, restaurants, grocery stores, and food processing plants have used chemicals to sanitize their operations or they use chemicals on food in hopes of removing bacteria and viruses. Compared to chlorine, ozone offers several advantages for food and beverage processors or anyone who wants to sanitize materials or surfaces. Chlorine has traditionally been the sanitizer of choice in the food processing industry, but experts share a growing concern about the dangerous byproducts such as trihalomethanes or dioxins produced when chlorine reacts with organic matter in the water. These substances are known carcinogens and are regulated in drinking water by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
.
As an oxidizer, ozone is 51 times stronger than chlorine and 3,000 times faster at killing bacteria and other microbes. Ozone is effective as a disinfectant at relatively low concentrations and does not leave toxic by-products similar to those related to chlorination.
.
For more than a century, ozone has been used in Europe for purifying drinking water and is currently used in the United States for purifying bottled water and decontaminating cooling towers. The cities of Los Angeles, Dallas, and Las Vegas all currently use ozone to purify their water supply.
.
“In light of continued outbreaks of food borne illness and more recent food security concerns in the United States, as well as questions about the relative safety of chemicals, our ozone equipment and systems are certainly a desirable solution for enhancing not only food safety but also the quality of the country's food supply,” added Taggatz.
