A system and method are disclosed for increasing the concentration of hypochlorous acid in a quantity of water. Acid is injected into chlorinated water to decrease the pH of the chlorinated water. By decreasing the pH, the hypochlorite/hypochlorous acid equilibrium of the chlorinated water is shifted to increase the concentration of hypochlorous acid on the treated water.

Pressurized solution feed system for introducing hypochlorous acid to a fluid stream

A diffuser for use in a pressurized feed system. The diffuser introduces a carbonic acid solution into water to be treated. The carbonic acid solution within the diffuser is maintained at an elevated pressure. As the carbonic acid solution passes to the exterior of the diffuser, the pressure drop causes an effective mixing of the carbonic acid solution and the water. The carbonic acid solution mixes with the water and the pH of the water is reduced.

Diffuser for use in a carbonic acid control system

A system to control pathogens on a target element is disclosed, wherein the target element is subjected to hypochlorous acid. The present invention incorporates the use of hypochlorous acid as a pathogen control medium, wherein a hypochlorous acid stream of between about 4.3 and 7.0 pH as a pathogen reduction agent is utilized. In one embodiment, the hypochlorous acid stream is used to reduce pathogens in poultry processing plants.

Pathogen management system

A method and appartus for controlling the pH of a water stream using carbon dioxide in which carbon dioxide at a selected pressing and flow rate is mixed with a carrier water, also at a selected pressure and flow rate, and the carbon dioxide-carrier water mixture is injected into the water steam, which is at a lower pressure, thus allowing the carbon dioxide to come out of the solution, contact the water stream and correspondingly adjust the pH of the water stream.
