Testing proves efficacy of Empowered Water(TM) as sanitation
process for CIP applications ATLANTA, Sept. 15
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EAU Technologies Inc. ("EAU" or
"Company") (OTC:EAUI) (BULLETIN BOARD: EAUI) , a leading provider
of electrolyzed water for high-volume, business-to-business
applications, announced today that the company has completed a
trial with a leading international beverage bottling company
enabling the approval of the use of electrolyzed water technology
as a sanitation process for CIP (Clean-in-Place) applications.
EAU's electrolyzed water (Empowered Water(TM)) is an effective,
environmentally friendly solution for Clean-in-Place (CIP)
applications for industrial use. CIP applications are used in the
food industry to clean stationary equipment during a product
changeover and system start-up. EAU began the extensive trial last
fall with the goal of demonstrating that an ambient temperature
solution, EAU's Empowered Water(TM), is an effective sanitation
process for CIP applications. As part of the test, Empowered
Water(TM) was used to clean and sanitize filling equipment and in
product changeover applications. The rigorous and methodical
testing included verification of cleaning efficacy, effectiveness
for eliminating taste carryover, environmental safety, as well as
financial enhancement with regards to improved CIP times and
potential water and energy savings. Empowered Water(TM) by EAU is
created by combining salt and potable water with an electrical
charge. EAU generators create two streams of Empowered Water.
Primacide B is an effective cleaning fluid used as a replacement
for caustic surfactants and cleaners. Primacide C is stabilized,
non-toxic, acidic water effective at killing pathogens during the
sanitation process. The active ingredient in Primacide C is
Hypochlorous Acid, one of the same chemicals a human body creates
to fight off sickness. Results showed Empowered Water(TM) was able
to maintain, and in some cases improve, current cleaning and
sanitizing efficacy, minimizing the use of commercial chemicals
while complying with microbiological integrity and sensory testing
requirements. Testing also identified water and energy consumption
savings and time savings which reduced bottling production line
down-time. "We strongly believe that EAU's non-toxic, ambient
temperature Empowered Water(TM) can effectively replace the current
CIP process eliminating the need for harsh chemicals and large
quantities of hot water," said Wade Bradley, CEO of EAU
Technologies. "The trials confirmed our expectations that Empowered
Water(TM) has excellent antimicrobial efficacy, creating a cleaner,
safer work environment, while identifying cost savings through
lower water usage, reduced energy costs and time savings." With the
efficacy testing completed, EAU Technologies is now exploring
opportunities to utilize its electrolyzed water technology within
the CIP arena. About EAU: EAU Technologies, Inc. (EAU) is a
supplier of Electrolyzed Water Technology (EW Technology marketed
as Empowered Water(TM)) and other complementary technologies with
applications in diverse industries. EAU's water-based and non-toxic
solutions (at application concentration, the solutions are
non-toxic to humans and live animals) may replace many of the
traditional methods now used to clean, disinfect and nourish in
large industries such as agriculture and food processing. EAU has
solutions for existing bacteria, virus and mold proliferation
threats. EAU continues to add innovative and efficacious products
that offer a systemic approach to pathogen elimination in food
processing plants and related industries, thereby producing safer
foods while protecting the environment through ``Green Technology.'
EAU has developed patent pending systems that are being used on
dairies to process drinking water for dairy herds. Studies and
trials are showing promising results at improving animal digestion
which shows signs of improved animal health and production. EAU
uses terms like "green", "natural", "non-toxic" and "organic" based
on our NAMSA studies that show no toxicity or cytotoxicity at
levels as high as 70 ppm of HOCl. Electrolytically generated HOCl
has been shown to be up to 80 times more effective at disinfecting
than typically used Chlorine, depending on the type of organism and
the amount present. EAU uses only water, food grade electrolytes
and electricity to create all of its solutions. The active
ingredients in the solutions EAU creates through electrolysis are
GRAS (generally regarded as safe) approved and/or safe around
humans and animals at suggested application levels. Please visit
