Radical Waters Granted Beverage Patent

Japan Is the Latest Country to Grant a Beverage Patent to Radical Waters for Its Pioneering Electrochemically Activated Water Application for Use as a Substitute to Chemicals During CIP forthe Global Beverage Industry

The beverage patent granted in Japan relates to the use of ECA in the manufacturing, processing, packaging and dispensing of beverages. In particular it refers to the use of ECA solutions during Cleaning-in-Place (CIP), a cleaning regime used in beverage facilities.

This cleaning regime is standard and used during production when changing from one product to another or at specific times for hygiene reasons to eliminate the growth of harmful bacteria often present in water rich environments. CIP typically involves various cleaning and sanitising processes.

Previously, beverage manufacturers would use traditional chemicals at high temperatures to clean and sanitise to achieve similar results.

Traditional chemical CIP steps must be performed at high temperatures, and involve: a water rinse, followed by application of a detergent, followed by another water rinse, followed by application of a disinfectant, followed by a final water rinse, all of which require significantly more time, water and energy than cleaning with Radical Waters' ECA solutions.

Replacing traditional chemical CIP with Radical Waters' green ECA detergent and disinfectant solutions eliminates the need for high temperatures, and eliminates the rinse between the detergent and the disinfectant steps reducing cleaning to a 4 step process, which results in a considerable reduction in the loss of valuable production time. This time saving cleaning process also saves energy and water for the bottler, resulting in greater profits and a greener CIP process.
