Food Safety -Fish industry
Food safety remains a top priority, yet foodborne illness cases, including Listeria monocytogenes infections, continue to rise. Listeria is particularly dangerous due to its ability to survive refrigeration and resist conventional sanitation methods, posing severe health risks to vulnerable populations.
AQUAOX™ ECA-generated Hypochlorous acid (HOCL) offers a highly effective, safe, and cost-efficient solution. HOCL rapidly eliminates Listeria monocytogenes and other harmful pathogens without toxic residues, making it an ideal alternative to traditional chemical sanitizers.
By integrating AQUAOX™ into sanitation protocols, food producers can enhance food safety, reduce contamination risks, and improve overall productivity while ensuring compliance with strict industry regulations.
Applications for Food Safety
The fish processing industry constantly strives to reduce contamination from bacteria, spores, viruses, fungi, yeast and mould.
Aquaox EW can be used for the following applications:
- Disinfection of production areas
- Decontamination/Disinfection of process water.
- Cleaning-In-Place (CIP), of process plant and equipment, including pots, tanks, centrifuges, pumps, piping, filters, filler heads, pasteurizers and general surfaces.
- Food preparation, eliminate microbial contamination
Benefits to the Fish Processing Industry
• Electrolyzed water is safe to use as a final pre-process rinse.
• Improved Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) of the food-processing environment.
• All known bacteria, fungi, yeasts, viruses, moulds and spores.(including Listeria) are eliminated by Electrolyzed water.
• Increased shelf life of products.
• Process hygiene management is greatly improved.
• Decontamination and sanitation procedures without harsh chemicals.
• Can be applied in the form of liquid, fog or ice.
• Containing only activated and ionized constituents of water and salt

On board Norðborg KG 689 they are using ECA-water for automated cleaning of filletting machines, conveyor belts and other surfaces on the factory deck. Captain Jón Rasmussen is very pleased with their ECA-system that has been running for more than 1 year now. Learn more about Captain Rasmussen’s experiences with ECA-water in this short accompanying video.

We have experienced several surprising advantages regarding food safety and increased quality of our product since we started implementing ECA water.
Disinfectant: Originally we bought the MOW2 for blood water treatment after working with salmon leftovers from the aquaculture. This to prevent the spreading of disease (ISA etc.) when the left over water is released back into the ocean.
Environment: The mixed oxidized water clearly is a “greener” solution with no impact on the environment. The MOW2 steps in the place of traditional chlorine products like Sodium Hypochlorite. Basically you exchange the chemistry, that
has bad impact on both local environment and post a hazard for the personnel handling the chemistry, to something you produce “in situ” from two abundant resources – namely normal salt and water.
