Foreword The purpose of this book is to illustrate the use of chlorine dioxide in the food industry to safely and effectively manage the persistent presence or suspected presence of pathogens within a food processing plant. Food safety and sanitation is an essential part of the food industry. While it is important to be able to deliver food quickly and profitably, the importance of food safety and sanitation cannot be underestimated. The FDA has extensive regulations for food processing and safety, including the type of conveyor or processing surfaces where food items can be placed and how those surfaces should be cleaned. Maintenance and cleaning intervals must be closely monitored to make sure surfaces are kept sanitary, and that no debris accumulates in crevices where bacteria can grow and spread. OSHA requires food processing plants to meet or exceed their guidelines for employee safety, including exposure to hazardous chemicals, bacteria, dust and allergens. PureLine Solutions has over 20 years of experience in the safe and effective use of chlorine dioxide. Our expertise in food safety science combined with our team of dedicated professionals can assure you that a treatment by PureLine Solutions will be delivered safely, quickly and with guaranteed results.

About Chlorine Dioxide

At 124 picometers (0.000124 micrometers), a chlorine dioxide gas molecule is much smaller than any microorganism. Chlorine dioxide is a real gas and by definition expands and conforms to the shape of the area in which it is held and acquires a uniform density inside that area, even in the presence of gravity and also regardless of the amount of equipment in the area. This property of chlorine dioxide gas allows it to easily penetrate and disinfect locations where other fumigant applications such as dry fog is not able to effectively reach.

What is Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2)?

About Chlorine Dioxide

Chemical Properties Chlorine dioxide is a visible yellow-green gas with a swimming pool-like odor allowing it to be detected well below its 8-hour human habitation â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;safetyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; level of 0.1 parts-per-million. Chlorine dioxide is a strong, yet selective oxidizing agent that does not produce harmful or environmentally hazardous by-products. When reacting with other substances, chlorine dioxide is selective, allowing it to be a more efficient and effective sterilizer than many other options. Chlorine dioxide is not a carcinogen nor is it a poisonous gas. Furthermore, chlorine dioxide does not leave any residues and there is no need for post-application clean up prior to resuming plant operations. Once the gas has dissipated to a safe level of < 0.1 ppm, typically within 60 minutes of cessation of gas generation, personnel may enter the area and plant operations can resume normal processing immediately.

Chlorine dioxide is a selective oxidant and reacts with several components of microbial cells. It breaks the molecular bonds in cell membranes and directly interferes with, and destroys the metabolic process, therefore permanently disabling and killing bacteria, virus and mold very quickly. Because it is selective, the oxidizing action is retained longer than other treatment agents and therefore allowing for maximum kill.

About Chlorine Dioxide

In microbiology the probability that an object that has been subjected to a sterilization process may nevertheless remain nonsterile is called the sterility assurance level (SAL). The SAL is used to measure the probability of microorganism survival and measured in orders of magnitude reduction, also called a “log” reduction. The sanitization standard for contamination reduction of non-food contact surfaces is generally accepted as 99.9% (3-log reduction) and for food contact surfaces, as 99.999% (a 5-log reduction). For sterilization, the standard is generally accepted as 99.9999% (a 6-log reduction). Chlorine dioxide, when applied correctly, provides for sterilization (6-log reduction). Chlorine dioxide is therefore defined as a chemical sterilant and is a selective oxidant that effectively destroys several components of microbial cells. It destroys the DNA in cells and, therefore microorganisms such as bacteria, virus and mold are unable to build up a resistance. Because chlorine dioxide is selective, the oxidizing action is retained longer than other fumigation agents such as peracetic acid or hydrogen peroxide, therefore allowing for maximum kill.

What is Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2)?

Antimicrobial Properties – Sanitation, Disinfection and Sterilization

Bacterial spores (available from several scientific sources) have long been considered the gold standard for proving an effective sterilization process. Spores are extremely difficult to kill and therefore a sterilizing agent must be able to destroy spores and therefore considered as the most rigorous decontamination method. Although a 99.999% (5-log reduction) sanitation standard is accepted in the food industry, chlorine dioxide is classified as a sterilant and therefore much more powerful in the fight against presumptive or persistent pathogen problems.

Sterilization versus Disinfection Sterilization is defined as the process of all microbial life being eliminated, which may be accomplished by chemical or physical means. A chemical sterilant must completely eliminate and inactivate spores, and therefore is verified to mean that it can eliminate and destroy all microbial life. A 6-log reduction (99.9999%) is defined as the level required to achieve sterilization. Sterilization is meant to convey an absolute, however; sometimes various commercial documents may make references to a ‘partial sterilizing’ agent. To be clear, and based upon the definition of sterilization, a chemical or other decontamination method cannot ‘partially sterilize’ and can only be classified as a sterilant if it is proven to destroy spores and thus eliminate all microbial life.

What is Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2)?

About Chlorine Dioxide

Disinfection is defined as the process of many or all pathogenic microorganisms being eliminated, except bacterial spores. In the food plant setting, floors and equipment are often routinely washed and cleaned by hand with various chemicals, with the goal of sanitizing food contact surfaces to eliminate pathogen contamination and meet the 5-log reduction (99.999%) sanitation standard for food contact surfaces and the 3-log (99.9%) standard for non-food contact surfaces, however; these methods seldom reach the level of disinfection. Many factors influence the efficacy of disinfection and sterilization methods. These include the frequency of routine equipment cleaning; organic load or inorganic load on surfaces; the type of microbial contaminants present; biofilm presence; temperature; ambient light, relative humidity and the level to which equipment has been designed and installed to meet accepted sanitary design standards. Unlike sterilization, disinfection may sometimes, but does not always kill spores. A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;highlevelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; disinfectant is defined as the ability to kill all microorganisms except large numbers of bacterial spores. Intermediate-level disinfectants kill most vegetative bacteria, most viruses, and most fungi but are unlikely to kill bacterial spores. Low-level disinfectants can kill most vegetative bacteria, some fungi, and some viruses, but will not kill spores.

Solubility in Water Chlorine dioxide is used in many public drinking water supplies and in water supplies used for industrial settings such as water purification in pharmaceutical companies and oil well drilling. Chlorine dioxide does not react with water and therefore retains its sterilization capabilities when dissolved in water. A 5-ppm chlorine dioxide solution is effective as a sanitizer (5-log or 99.999% reduction) with a contact time of at least 1 minute. Further, disinfection is achieved with 100 ppm using a contact time of 10 minutes. (Pfunter, 2011). Pureline Solutions offers a unique chlorine dioxide floor wash service, that is often combined with a chlorine dioxide gas treatment to initially disinfect floors and drains and subsequently offering a complete sterilization process.

About Chlorine Dioxide

Chlorine dioxide is an ideal choice to minimize impact on our environment. It is often the preferred alternative to other options such as ozone, chlorine bleach, hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid. Compared to these other options, a chlorine dioxide application is far less corrosive. While many people may confuse the use of chlorine with chlorine dioxide, they are very different. As an example, when chlorine reacts with organic matter, undesirable pollutants such as dioxins and bio-accumulative toxic substances are produced. Chlorine dioxide eliminates the production of these pollutants and does not chlorinate organic material, eliminating the formation of trihalomethanes (THMs), halo acetic acids (HAAs) and other chlorinated organic compounds.

What is Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2)?

Safe for the Environment

The Many Uses of Chlorine Dioxide Chlorine dioxide is a widely used antimicrobial in drinking water, process water, swimming pools, and mouthwash preparations. It is frequently used to treat fruit and vegetables and to decontaminate equipment for the food and beverage processing industry and is widely used in pharmaceuticals and life science research laboratories. The health care industry uses chlorine dioxide to decontaminate rooms and for equipment and component sterilization. For years, chlorine dioxide has been used extensively in the paper-pulp, flour, leather, fats & oils, and textile sectors.

The Facts About Chlorine Dioxide

About Chlorine Dioxide

The Facts about Chlorine Dioxide Over the past several years, the food and beverage industry has increasingly embraced chlorine dioxide as the preferred method for resetting the microbial environment and ensuring the safety of foods being prepared for humans and animals alike. There has been confusion and sometimes conflicting information regarding its properties, behavior and capabilities. The following will further clarify why chlorine dioxide has become the choice for safe elimination of harmful bacteria and other microbial contaminants in the food and beverage industry.

Effective as a Biological Sterilant

THE FACTS ABOUT CHLORINE DIOXIDE

Chlorine dioxide is classified as a sterilant. Sterilants are defined by their ability to destroy bacterial spores, thus confirming that all other microbial life present in the treatment area has been eliminated. Chlorine dioxide works by penetrating the cell wall of microorganisms and disrupting the pathogenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s metabolic functions, thus immediately and permanently eliminating the problem at its source. It is a powerful biocide at concentrations as low as 0.1 parts-permillion over a wide pH range, does not produce hazardous by-products, and is more effective than hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, quaternary ammonia and sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach). Studies from the FDA and EPA show that chlorine dioxide is effective in eliminating over 20 of the most common harmful pathogens, including Salmonella, Listeria, E Coli, Clostridia, B anthracis (anthrax), and several species of fungal molds and yeasts. Chlorine dioxide is a real gas at room temperature. As a real gas, it expands to uniformly fill the space it is contained within, regardless of the effect of gravity. This gives it the natural ability to contact all surfaces within a space in equal concentrations, guaranteeing an even level of kill throughout the space. Its small molecular size coupled with this distributive ability allows the gas to penetrate even the smallest cracks and crevices in walls and floors and reach all surfaces of food processing equipment.

No Residue - Immediately Resume Production Unlike some other fumigants such as hydrogen peroxide which leaves a residue and is also a human carcinogen, chlorine dioxide gas does not leave a residue, is not a carcinogen, nor is it a poisonous gas. Some chemical fumigants are applied using a dry fog and/or vapor decontamination method which leave a residue, necessitating a post-treatment cleaning, and often requiring an extended period of time prior to resuming plant operations to allow the chemical concentrations to dissipate and reach levels safe for human habitation. This residue is attributed to the nature of these products and their composition. Chlorine dioxide does not leave a residue and does not require post-treatment cleaning. Processing plants can immediately be re-occupied and begin production once gas levels have 8 |

reached the safe human habitation level of 0.1 parts-per-million, typically within 60 minutes of gas cessation.

NOT Explosive When Fumigating The concentration at which chlorine dioxide gas is used for fumigation is more than 1,000 times less than the explosive threshold. This makes the risk of explosion ZERO as explosive concentrations cannot be achieved during the fumigation process. There is some truth to the notion that chlorine dioxide can be explosive. Chlorine dioxide, if compressed, may be explosive and this is the reason why it must be created at its point of use. Pureline creates pure chlorine dioxide gas on-site using two different and distinct safe methods and does not incorporate any compressed gasses in any form, in the fumigation process.

NOT a Carcinogen There is no evidence that chlorine dioxide is a carcinogen. Chlorine dioxide can be found in toothpastes and mouthwashes. It is used to treat municipal drinking water supplies and to rinse various fruits, vegetables, and meats. Both the EPA and FDA have approved the use of chlorine dioxide for use in these instances.

The Facts About Chlorine Dioxide

About Chlorine Dioxide

Corrosivity A typical chlorine dioxide decontamination treatment exposure is often in the range of 1,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1,500 ppm-hours (concentrations of ~200 ppm for five to eight hours). Pureline has performed rigorous testing of stainless-steel exposure to chlorine dioxide and has shown no signs of corrosion with concentrations as high as 900,000 ppm-hours (50,000 ppm for a period of 18 hours). The exception to any evidence of corrosion on stainless-steel would be due to poorly passivated welds, and/or other deposits resident on the stainless steel which may show signs of oxidation. Chlorine dioxide itself has been shown to be compatible with stainless steel and many other metals through exposure studies using the pure, gaseous form. The concern about chlorine dioxide corrosion is most likely due to confusing it with chlorine or chlorine gas. Also, some liquid chlorine dioxide solutions are produced by mixing a sodium chlorite base with an acid (most commonly citric acid) which creates a liquid acidified chlorine dioxide solution as well as chlorous acid and acidified sodium chlorite. It is these acidic by-products which can cause corrosion of metals. PureLine Solutions creates a 99.5% pure chlorine dioxide treatment with zero acidifcation or acidified by-products. Commonly used food plant chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite, peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide are much more corrosive than chlorine dioxide. The following chart illustrates that chlorine dioxide is far less corrosive than the other microbial fumigants listed below.

Other than unpainted mild steel, which may show signs of light oxidation, no other metals will be affected by chlorine dioxide. Below are photographs of stainless steel exposed to 50,000 ppm over an 18-hour period (900,000 ppm-hours), and also unpainted mild steel exposed to a typical microbial treatment exposure of ~200 ppm over 8 hours (~1,600 ppm-hours)

All Chlorine Dioxide is not Created Equal Chlorine dioxide gas cannot be safely compressed and therefore it is required that it be produced on-site at the point of use. There are several methods of producing chlorine dioxide. PureLine Solutions uses methods that create a safe and effective 99.5% pure chlorine dioxide gas that DOES NOT require humidity controls and produces guaranteed sterilization results. Some companies use methods that utilize highly corrosive chlorine gas in their process, requiring humidification of the area being treated. The chlorine gas is filtered through a chemical matrix, which under humidity control of 65 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 75% will produce chlorine dioxide gas, however; if humidity is not high enough then highly corrosive chlorine gas may be present in the treatment area, increasing the possibility of corrosion on metals and other materials.

The Facts About Chlorine Dioxide

About Chlorine Dioxide

Remains Active in Water Chlorine dioxide does not react with water, has a neutral pH in water, and stays as chlorine dioxide within the water. This enables it to kill organisms within the water, as well as any on the surface beneath the water. This trait is unique to chlorine dioxide among decontaminating agents. When mixed with water, chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite) forms hydrochloric acid. Hydrogen peroxide, by contrast, will dilute in water and cannot kill organisms within or beneath the water.

Chlorine Dioxide versus Other Treatment Agents Pureline uses a 99.5% pure chlorine dioxide gas, which is scientifically and statistically less corrosive than hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, ozone and sodium hypochlorite (bleach). Chlorine dioxide gas is used safely every day to decontaminate rooms, suites, and other spaces. Hydrogen peroxide is most often injected as a vapor into the space being decontaminated. Unlike consumer use of 3% hydrogen peroxide, decontamination services using this chemical typically deploy a 35% hydrogen peroxide / 65% water composition. When the hydrogen peroxide vapor condenses, the condensate’s hydrogen peroxide concentration can increase from 35% to almost 80%. This increase in concentration adds to hydrogen peroxide’s corrosive nature, as noted in its incompatibility with some epoxy finishes on walls and flooring as well as other materials. Chlorine dioxide has a 0.1 part-per-million (ppm) 8-hour safety level for human exposure. Chlorine dioxide gas has an odor similar to a swimming pool and can be sensed (smelled) below the 0.1ppm threshold, acting as an alert in case of a leak, as personnel are aware of the leak at very low levels below the safe human habitation level, allowing them to act upon it as they deem fit (either aborting the process or fixing the leak). By contrast, hydrogen peroxide is odorless, and any leakage cannot be easily identified by nearby personnel, allowing for leakage and exposure to personnel to continue and worsen. A benefit of chlorine dioxide is that it is a real gas and therefore will expand to uniformly fill the space it is contained within, regardless of the effect of gravity. This allows the gas to contact all surfaces within a space in equal concentrations, guaranteeing an even level of decontamination throughout. It’s small molecular size coupled with this distributive property allows the gas to easily penetrate microscopic cracks and crevices. To contain the gas during treatment, the treatment area can be isolated from the HVAC system and from other nontreatment areas when sealed with common polyethylene plastic and tape. Another property which aids in the safety of the chlorine dioxide process is its status as a

real gas. Chlorine dioxide does not condense on surfaces; therefore, in case of emergency the gas can be aerated down to safe levels quickly. Hydrogen peroxide is a liquid at room temperature and therefore condenses on surfaces. This condensate takes much longer to dry and aerate from a space, needing hours if not overnight before it is safe for human habitation. This means that in the event of leakage, chlorine dioxide gas can be removed making the area safe quickly, while hydrogen peroxide may take until the next day.

The Facts About Chlorine Dioxide

About Chlorine Dioxide

Summary Chlorine dioxide gas and chlorine dioxide aqueous solutions, when applied safely and effectively, are more effective in killing harmful bacteria, mold and spores and far less corrosive than most other microbial fumigants. Due to its nature as a gas that does not condense on surfaces, a plant can be re-occupied, and operations can resume immediately upon aeration and reducing gas level to the 8-hour safety level of 0.1 ppm or less, often within no more than a few hours of cessation of gas production. A significant added value in using Pureline is our capability to safely and cost effectively deploy a chlorine dioxide decontamination engagement for areas ranging from small electric cabinets to entire plants up to several million cubic feet. Additionally, Pureline can train your operators in the safe deployment of PureVistaTM, our 99.5% pure chlorine dioxide product, for areas up to several thousand cubic feet, helping you cost-effectively manage your sanitation and decontamination needs.

Chlorine Dioxide and Its Disinfecting Properties Since the 1920s, chlorine dioxide has been known for its disinfecting properties. It was recognized as a chemo-sterilizing agent in 1984; and in 1988, it was registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) for use as a sterilant. The USDA has deemed chlorine dioxide as certified for organic use in crop production, as an algicide, disinfectant

DISINFECTION PROPERTIES

Both gaseous and aqueous phase chlorine dioxide has been proven to be an effective sterilizing agent that has broad and high biocidal effectiveness. Both forms of chlorine dioxide have been reported to effectively inactivate bacteria, including pathogens, viruses, bacterial spores and algae.

Gaseous chlorine dioxide has proven to be an effective sterilant. Jeng and Woodworth (1990) reported the sporicidal activity of chlorine dioxide gas. Gaseous chlorine dioxide has successfully been used to decontaminate B. anthracis (anthrax) contaminated areas of the Hart Senate Office Building and the Brentwood postal sorting facility in Washington, DC. Hans et al. also reported high efficacy of chlorine dioxide gas in reducing Bacillus spores on paper, plastic, epoxy-coated stainless steel and wood surfaces. Additionally, much research has demonstrated that chlorine dioxide gas is highly effective in eliminating foodborne pathogens such as E. coli, Listeria and Salmonella.

and sanitizer. In addition, no corrosion is observed when using materials such as stainless steel, Lexan, and various other plastics such as Delrin, Teflon, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). With appropriate delivery equipment and care, chlorine dioxide is a safe and effective means of decontamination. A significant safety feature of chlorine dioxide is that it has a distinct odor much like a swimming pool, making even minor leaks self-alerting, well below the human habitation safety limit.

About Chlorine Dioxide

Chlorine dioxide has been shown to be an effective antimicrobial agent capable of destroying biofilms. Biofilm forms when bacteria adhere to surfaces in moist environments by excreting a slimy, glue-like substance. Sites for biofilm formation include all kinds of surfaces and can be a major concern in food processing plants. Wherever you find a combination of moisture, nutrients and a surface, you are likely to find biofilm. Microbes like to grow on surfaces, whether natural or manmade. When it comes to industrial surfaces, bacteria are just doing “what comes naturally” by attaching to the surfaces with which they come into contact. However, their propensity for attachment may cause many problems for the food processing facility.

Microbial Biofilms

A biofilm community almost always consist of rich mixtures of many species of bacteria and other microorganisms. Biofilms are held together by a matrix of sugary molecular strands, collectively termed “extracellular polymeric substances” or “EPS.” The cells are held together by these strands, allowing them to develop complex three-dimensional, resilient, attached communities. Many studies have shown that the multicellular construction of biofilms affords protection for cells, making them less susceptible to antimicrobial agents. This protection is the result of intrinsic shifts in genetic expression when floating bacterial cells attach to surfaces and begin to form biofilms.

MICROBIAL BIOFILMS

In biofilms, the matrix material (EPS) that holds cells in proximity allows concentrations of signal molecules to build up in enough quantity to effect changes in cellular behavior. Bacterial populations will activate some genes only when they are able to sense, via cell signaling, that their population is numerous enough to make it advantageous and/ or “safe” to initiate that genetic activity. For example, some bacterial pathogens will not produce toxins until they sense that an adequate population has been established to survive host defenses. Chlorine dioxide is effective at eradicating biofilms. In rigorous studies performed by Montana State University Center for Biofilm Engineering, chlorine dioxide gas concentrations of approximately 250 parts-per-million on a log 8 biofilm (108 CFU/cm2) resulted in a log 6 kill after 4 hours. It should be noted that a log 8 biofilm is a substantial biofilm, that would be far in excess of what would be expected on a regularly cleaned surface or a partially wetted surface in any environment. www.pureline.info | 847.963.8465

Environmental Testing to Prove Efficacy

About Chlorine Dioxide

Environmental Testing to Prove Efficacy For any cleaning process, it is important to quantify the results. PureLine Solutions utilizes three separate and distinct methodologies to measure microorganism presence to help you confirm a clean break has been achieved post chloride dioxide sanitization process. This threepronged validation process provides you with the confidence of a clean break. A. ATP-based microbiologic monitoring methods were developed to monitor the cleaning and sanitization of equipment and materials, and immediately detect the presence or absence of organic material (live or dead) on solid surfaces. xvii, xix ATP monitoring systems are used in food production facilities, state health laboratories, and drug companies xx, xxi. PureLine Solutions uses the NEOGEN AccuPoint Advanced ATP detection device, which uses bioluminescence to indicate the level of residual ATP present on swabbed surfaces. The amount of ATP present on the surfaces tested are then quantified by the amount of light emitted during the enzymatic reaction (relative light units, RLU). The NEOGEN recommended scale is used in PureLine Solutions sanitization treatment processes: <150 = pass, 151 – 299 = caution/marginal, and > 300 = fail.

PROVING EFFICACY

B. Swab testing in the food industry has long been a standard process in measuring the level of micro-organisms present on surfaces. PureLine Solutions uses pre- and post- treatment sterile swabs which are cultured to quantify the number of colony forming units (CFUs/ml). C. Biological indicators; a spore forming bacterium that is widely distributed in soil, hot springs, ocean sediment, and is a cause of spoilage in food products, are used to determine log kill. The capability to form endospores makes these organisms resistant to extreme conditions such as pressure, extreme heat or cold, drought, starvation, biocides, and UV irradiationxxii (Moeller et al., 2008). Because the spores used in biological indicators are the most resistant spores to the chlorine dioxide sterilization process, a biological indicator that does not survive the treatment process indicates that other potential spores or bacteria in the sterilization load have also been killed. PureLine Solutions uses biological indicators affixed at each of several environmental test sites, which are incubated post-treatment, and used to determine effective log kill of microorganisms in the treated facility to achieve a clean break. Environmental test sites are prepared as follows: 4” x 4” sterile swab and ATP templates are placed on the floor at designated locations. Biological Indicators are placed in proximity to these templates. A swab sample and ATP reading are taken for each site prior to, and immediately after the chlorine dioxide application(s). ATP readings are available immediately. Swab samples are sent to an accredited third-party lab and results reported in colony forming unit (CFU/ml). Biological Indicators are cultured for a specified time and results reported in “log kill”.

About Chlorine Dioxide

During the disinfectant treatment, chlorine dioxide gas is exposed to varying environmental factors of light, temperature, and humidity which influence it’s disinfectant efficiency.

Light, Temperature, and Humidity Considerations

LIGHT, TEMPERATURE, AND HUMIDITY CONSIDERATIONS

In several studies, including research by Lee et al.xxiv, the effect of UV-A and ﬂuorescent lamp on chlorine dioxide gas degradation was observed. The degradation of gas under these conditions followed a ﬁrst order reaction. In this research, gas degradation using a 40-Watt UV-A lamp was approximately four orders of magnitude larger than with a 34Watt fluorescent lamp. In dark conditions, less than three percent degradation in gas was observed over a period of six hours. Therefore, while not a necessary requirement for chlorine dioxide treatment efficacy, a no-light or low-light environment is optimal. In the same study, the effect of temperature on the degradation of chlorine dioxide gas was observed at 5°, 23°, and 40°C. In all cases, the effect of temperature was negligible indicating that treatment efficacy is not dependent on environmental temperature gradients in this range. When treatments are performed in spiral freezers or other areas that typically operate at freezing or below temperatures, the cooling units should be shut off such that the temperatures are at 5° C or higher during the treatment process.

Chlorine Dioxide Concentration Monitoring

About Chlorine Dioxide

Concentration Monitoring

CONCENTRATION MONITORING

During the disinfectant treatment, it is important to monitor chlorine dioxide gas concentrations to assure an effective dosage is being applied to the treatment area. PureLine Solutions utilizes concentration monitoring devices specifically designed and calibrated for chlorine dioxide gas. Monitors capable of reading concentrations between 0 and 1,000 parts-per-million (ppm) are used in the treatment areas to measure gas levels and report the total ppm-hours delivered. As a safety precaution, low level monitoring devices capable of detecting 0 – 2.0 ppm are placed in areas where no gas is expected to leak. The chart on page 14 identifies the various dosing requirements to effectively kill the varieties of bacteria and fungus most typically found in a food processing plant. The monitoring devices are placed in several locations within the treatment area prior to engagement of the gassing process and measurements are recorded throughout the process, including demarcation of when gas exhaust starts and when the “all clear” is given identifying the gas levels to be at or below the 0.1 ppm level when personnel are allowed to re-enter the area and respirators are no longer required to be worn.

About Chlorine Dioxide

When considering how to describe the efficacy of any fumigation treatment, the important treatment parameters are: temperature over the duration of the treatment; relative humidity over the duration of the treatment; the extent to which the target organisms were exposed to chlorine dioxide; and the concentration of exposure. The extent of exposure to the gas is described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;concentration over timeâ&#x20AC;? or CT. Usually the CT product is expressed in terms of hours of exposure multiplied by parts-per-million (ppm) or milligrams-per-liter (mg/l). The shorthand version of this calculation is ppm-hours or mg/l-hours. The concentration target for a chlorine dioxide treatment is in the range of 1,000-1,500 parts-per-million hours over a six to eight-hour exposure in a typical food processing plant treatment.

The formula given for use under leak proof conditions is: Ctn,n+1 = (Tn+1-Tn) x (Cn+Cn+1) 2.0

Where: Tn is the time the first reading was taken in hours. Tn+1 is the time the second reading was taken in hours. Cn is the concentration reading at Tn in ppm. Cn+1 is the concentration reading at Tn+1 in ppm. Ctn,n+1 is calculated CT product between Tn and Tn+1 in ppm. Half the sum of two consecutive gives the average concentration between the two. These two formulae disregard the first rectangle (i.e. between the time of initial fumigant injection and the first reading due to the uncertainty of adequate mixing of the fumigant in the air surrounding the treated article and within the treated area). www.pureline.info | 847.963.8465

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES Customer Responsibilities Upon confirmation of a treatment engagement, PureLine Solutions operations management will reach out to the customer and follow up with a draft project plan that contains the necessary information required to deliver an effective treatment. The project plan is a critical step in assuring a complete and professional treatment is performed at the customer plant. The draft project plan will be reviewed on-line with customer, then edited and finalized after customer discussion and agreement. A plant layout map will be requested so concentration monitoring and environmental sites can be mapped, location of utilities (power and electric) can be identified, and for MobileCleanTM application, the treatment hose requirements and layout can be identified. During the treatment process, PureLine Solutions team will routinely update customer on progress of work, including walking the perimeter of the treatment area to check for any potential gas leaks.

| 29

Proper cleaning by the customer is necessary to assure the chlorine dioxide gas effectively contacts the treatment area walls, floors, ceiling and equipment. Surfaces that have dirt, dust, oil/grease, food residue, or other substances may not result in an effective treatment due to inability for the chlorine dioxide gas to reach the target surfaces. pHlorSanTM solution treatment to floors or other areas will displace most dirt and dust, however; heavy dirt, oil/ grease and food residue may not allow effective surface contact and may result in poor results. It is therefore incumbent upon the customer to thoroughly clean the treatment area prior to a gas or liquid chlorine dioxide application.

Cleaning, Sealing and Gas Exhaust Plan 32 |

Sealing Requirements for Containment of Chlorine Dioxide Gas To assure maximum effectiveness, the treatment area must be sealed to assure concentration of the chlorine dioxide gas during treatment. Sealing is the responsibility of the customer, and during the initial walk-through with the customer, PureLine Solutions will confirm that all sealed areas appear to be satisfactory and will assist in any final sealing that is deemed necessary. Due to the customer’s unique knowledge of their building environment, including high and low-pressure zones, HVAC ducting, electrical conduit ducting and passthrough between rooms, it is imperative that the customer undertake the task of sealing the treatment area. This is accomplished with the use of polyethylene plastic (of any thickness) that is draped over large openings and vents, and firmly sealed on all sides to assure no gas can escape. Non-residue duct tape is recommended, and if possible, all opening should be sealed from inside the treatment area to minimize the seals from breaking open during the process. In some cases, when larger pressure gradients exist between the inside and outside of the treatment area, a double seal – one on each side of the opening – is recommended. For man doors, the seams of the door, including hinges, need to be taped. For these seams, a blue painter’s tape will meet the need.

847.963.8465 | www.pureline.info

Upon termination of chlorine dioxide gas generation, the residual gases are removed from the building. The project plan will include specifics on the process. A customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HVAC system is designed to maximize air flow, and thus is the most often used approach to remove residual gas and return the plant environment to the 8-hour safety level of 0.1 ppm or less. In some cases, customers provide mobile fans to aid in the exhaust process. IMPORTANT: In all cases, exhaust systems must be switched on from OUTSIDE the treatment area. In some cases, remote starters may be required to turn on exhaust system power from outside the treatment area(s). Exhaust through roof venting is ideal. If exhaust through doorway(s) leading to outside is required, red danger tape will be set up outside the doors for a perimeter of no less than 50 feet to prevent accidental inhalation of chlorine dioxide gas. Chlorine dioxide is highly reactive, and the gas will quickly dissipate in the atmosphere. For inside rooms without direct access to a rooftop vent, the gas can be safely exhausted via a door leading to the outside using industrial fans. For tented equipment, the level of residual gas will be low enough such that removing the tenting material will allow gas concentrations to drop to safe levels quickly as the gas dissipates quickly within the larger area. For situations where the customer wishes to eliminate chlorine dioxide gas release to outside air, a charcoal air scrubber can be utilized to clean the air upon exhaust, however, this option is rarely chosen due to the additional time required for the gas-scrubbing process.

Process Sign Off Sheets

Process Sign Off Sheets (signed on-site by PureLine Solutions and Customer representative) ¤¤ Facility Cleaning Confirmation ■■ This confirms the customer has cleaned the treatment area and that it is free of dirt and food residue. Chlorine dioxide is a powerful oxidizer, but will not penetrate dirt, grease or food residue. Therefore, it is critical that the treatment area is thoroughly cleaned and inspected prior to gas treatment engagement. ¤¤ Sealing Confirmation ■■ The customer is required to properly seal the treatment area to prevent gas from escaping during the treatment. Gas leakage is a concern for safety as well as assuring treatment efficacy by allowing gas concentrations to build to effective levels in the treatment area. Sealing is the customer’s responsibility for reasons that include an inability for PureLine Solutions to know the physical plant layout and limitations, specifically any potential conduits for gas leakage and also due to the need for sealing to begin prior to the PureLine Solutions team arriving onsite. PureLine Solutions will accompany customer representatives during the pre-treatment walkthrough to review sealing and assist in any final sealing required. If able to be performed safely, PureLine Solutions will remediate any poorly sealed or ‘blown’ sealing during the treatment process. ¤¤ No Human Habitation ■■ The customer must signoff prior to gas engagement, that the treatment area has been inspected and there is no human habitation in any part of the plant. A PureLine Solutions employee will walk the facility with a customer representative to affix “Do Not Enter” signage at all entry points to the treatment area, as well as outside doorways, including affixing red “danger” tape across all entry ways. If exceptions are noted, the plant areas with human habitation must be clearly marked and the exceptions must be agreed upon by PureLine Solutions operations lead (on-site). The customer person(s) responsible for said exception locations must carry a personal chlorine dioxide monitor and keep in routine communication with the PureLine Solutions operations lead. PureLine Solutions will remotely monitor a limited number of areas for gas leakage, but due to the size and configuration of most plants, not all areas can be remotely monitored for gas leakage. Customer must agree that these exception areas will be evacuated of all customer personnel should gas leakage be detected in those areas that are approaching the 0.1 part- per-million eight-hour safety limit for chlorine dioxide gas.

38 |

847.963.8465 | www.pureline.info

■■ A final sign-off will be required upon confirmation by PureLine Solutions that gas concentrations in all parts of the treatment area are at or below the 0.1 part-permillion eight-hour safety limit. At that time (and only after that time), customers will be able to resume activity in the treatment area. Chlorine dioxide leaves no residue, and therefore production can begin immediately upon the All-Clear sign off.

PHLORSAN FLOOR AND DRAIN TREATMENT

A 100-ppm chlorine dioxide solution was applied to the floor. The process was managed to maintain an effective time-contact of the solution. The chlorine dioxide solution contact duration of the target areas was approximately 30 minutes. The sanitization standard for nonfood contact surfaces is accepted as a reduction of 99.9% (3 logs) within 30 seconds. For chlorine dioxide solution, a 5-ppm solution is effective as a sanitizer with a contact time of at least 1 minute. Further, disinfection can be achieved with 100 ppm using a contact time of 10 minutes. After the contact time was achieved, the solution was thoroughly drained from the floors, and the floors were allowed to dry.

Since the 1920s, chlorine dioxide has been known for its disinfecting properties. It was recognized as a chemo-sterilizing agent in 1984 and in 1988, it was registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) for use as a sterilant. In addition, no corrosion is observed when using pharmaceutical-type materials such as high-grade stainless steel, Lexan, and various other plastics such as Delrin, Teflon, and UHMWPii. With appropriate equipment and care, chlorine dioxide is a safe and effective means of sanitization. It has a distinct odor, making even minor leaks self-alerting, which is a significant safety feature.

Discussion

Chlorine Dioxide Use in Sanitization Processes

Both gaseous and aqueous phase chlorine dioxide has been proven to be an effective sanitizing agent that has broad and high biocidal effectiveness. Aqueous chlorine dioxide has been reported to effectively inactivate bacteria iii,iv, including pathogensv, vi, vii, virusesviii, ix, bacterial sporesx,xi, and algaexii. Gaseous chlorine dioxide has proven to be an effective disinfectant. Jeng and Woodworth reported the sporicidal activity of chlorine dioxide gas. Gaseous chlorine dioxide has successfully been used to decontaminate B. anthracis contaminated areas of the Hart Senate Office Building and the Brentwood postal sorting facility in Washington, DC. Hans et al. also reported high efficacy of chlorine dioxide gas in reducing Bacillus spores on paper, plastic, epoxy-coated stainless steel and wood surfacesxiv. Additionally, numerous research has demonstrated that chlorine dioxide gas is highly effective (greater than log 4 reductions) in reducing foodborne pathogens (E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella) xv

PureLine Solutions Post Treatment Report

Biological/Environmental Testing Discussion PureLine Solutions utilizes three separate and distinct methodologies to measure microorganism presence to help you confirm a clean break has been achieved post chloride dioxide sanitization process. 1. ATP-based microbiologic monitoring methods were developed to monitor the cleaning and sanitization of equipment and materials, and immediately detect the presence or absence of organic material (live or dead) on solid surfaces. ATP monitoring systems are used in food production facilities, state health laboratories, and drug companies. PureLine Solutions uses the NEOGEN AccuPoint Advanced ATP detection device, which uses bioluminescence to indicate the level of residual ATP present on swabbed surfaces. The amount of ATP present on the surfaces tested are then quantified by the amount of light emitted during the enzymatic reaction (relative light units, RLU). The NEOGEN recommended scale is used in PureLine Solutions sanitization treatment processes: < 150 = pass, 151 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 299 = caution/marginal, and >300 = fail. 2. Swab testing in the food industry has long been a standard process in measuring the level of micro-organisms present on surfaces. PureLine Solutions use a pre- and post- treatment swabs which are cultured to quantify the number of colony forming units (CFUs). 3. The third test procedure utilizes G stearothermophilus and B atrophaeus biological indicators; spore forming bacteria that are widely distributed in soil, hot springs, ocean sediment, and is a cause of spoilage in food products. The capability to form endospores makes these organisms resistant to extreme conditions such as pressure, extreme heat or cold, drought, starvation, biocides, and UV irradiation. Because the spores used in biological indicators are the most resistant spores to a particular sterilization process, a biological indicator that does not survive the treatment process indicates that other potential spores or bacteria in the sterilization load have also been killed. PureLine Solutions uses biological indicators affixed at each of several environmental test sites, which are incubated post-treatment for a specified time, and used to determine effective log kill of micro-organisms in the treated facility to achieve a clean breakxxi.

Arkansas Chlorine dioxide is not a nationally regulated air pollutant, therefore according to chapter 2 of the “Regulations of the Arkansas Plan of implementation for Air pollution control, the definition of a stationary source is restricted solely to a facility/ structure which emits a federally regulated air pollutant, and therefore the amount of chlorine dioxide that may be emitted would not be restricted. The PureLine treatment process does not require a permit in Arkansas. Referenced laws Regulation Number 19 chapter 2: definition Stationary Source:

means any building, structure, facility, or installation which emits or may emit any federally regulated air pollutant.

Connecticut In Connecticut chlorine dioxide is classified a Hazardous air pollutant (22a-174-29-3) with an ambient air concentration of 6Âľg/m^3 when measured over an 8 hour period. During a PureLine treatment a facility is initially filled with approximately .03 tons (60 pounds) of chlorine dioxide per million square feet of a facility, of which less than .01 tons (10-20 pound) per million feet is emitted into the atmosphere at the termination point of the treatment. In Connecticut, non-major stationary sources which emit less than 15 tons per year of a hazardous air pollutant fall below the necessary level at which a permit is required (22a-174-3a). The PureLine treatment process does not require a permit in Connecticut. Regulations 22a-174 Table 29-3 3a(a)(1)

Delaware A permit is required in the state of Delaware, as all potential air contaminant emissions are controlled in Delaware (7 DE Admin. Code 1101.2.1.0). During a PureLine treatment, approximately 10-20 pounds of chlorine dioxide are emitted into the air at the termination point of the treatment, the limit of which is 0.2 pounds per day. Because the PureLine process emits more than 0.2 pounds, it is above the allowable amount which would otherwise allow a simple registration with the state. Since the PureLine process does not qualify for an exemption or is not allowed to simply register with the state. The PureLine treatment process may require a permit in Delaware. Regulations 7 DE Admin. Code 1102 2.1.0. Except as exempted in 2.2 of this regulation, no person shall initiate construction, install, alter or initiate operation of any equipment or facility or air contaminant control device which will emit or prevent the emission of an air contaminant prior to receiving approval of his application from the Department or, if eligible, prior to submitting to the Department a completed registration form. 2.2.

Provided that 7 DE Admin. Code 1125 does not apply, a permit for installation, alteration, or operation pursuant to this regulation shall not be required for the following equipment or air contaminant control device. Note however that other State and Federal requirements may apply. 2.2.1. Equipment without an air contaminant control device that has actual emissions to the atmosphere of any air contaminant or contaminants, in the aggregate, during each and every day that are less than 0.2 pound per day. 2.2.2. Equipment with an air contaminant control device that has actual emissions to the inlet of the air contaminant control device of any air contaminant or contaminants, in the aggregate, during each and every day that are less than 0.2 pound per day. 2.2.3. The equipment listed in Appendix A of this regulation. 2.2.4. For operation, any equipment or air contaminant control device that is specifically identified in an operation permit issued pursuant to 7 DE Admin. Code 1130. 2.2.5. Equipment that is registered pursuant to 9.0 of this regulation.

Florida Chlorine dioxide is not a regulated air pollutant in the state of Florida, despite that all air pollutants (62- 210.200(15)) are required to obtain a permit unless exempted (62-210.300). During the PureLine treatment process, approximately (10-20 pounds) of gas are released into the atmosphere, at the termination point of the process, which is below the minimum amount for a title V permit of 10 tons. Also there are no specific regulations on the use of Chlorine Dioxide in Florida, therefore classifying it as a “Generic Emission Unit”(62- 210.300(3)(b)1).

Maine In the state of Maine, all gases that can be emitted into the air are considered an air contaminant (Title 38 chapter 4 section 582), and air contaminants are prohibited from being emitted without a permit if they are listed in the respective class regions ambient air standards list(Title 38 chapter 4 section 591). But Chlorine dioxide is not listed in any of the three class regions, therefore no permit is required for it to be emitted. Even though chlorine dioxide is not regulated, as it may be considered a Hazardous Air Contaminant, and therefore is required to register with the state so that that the state can keep track of general emission (Title 38 chapter 4 section 585 C).

Maryland Chlorine dioxide is considered a class II Toxic Air pollutant in the state of Maryland (26.11.16.09) with an ambient air level of 5 microgram/cubic meter for an 8 hour test cycle. It is still allowable to operate in the state because the PureLine treatment process is exempted from the conditions of a construction permit due to the fact that the emissions for a job is approximately 10-20 pounds of chlorine dioxide which is below the one ton level (26.11.02.10) at which a permit would be required to construct. PureLine is not listed on the states list of operations required to obtain a permit before operating (26.11.02.11). The PureLine treatment process does not require a permit in Maryland.

Massachusetts In the state of Massachusetts, all stationary sources, unless exempted, are required to receive a permit in order to operate. But as Chlorine dioxide is not a regulated air pollutant in the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C 7400). The PureLine treatment process does not require a permit in Massachusetts. Regulations 310 CMR 7 Appendix A Stationary Source means any building, structure, facility, or installation which emits or which may emit any air pollutant subject to regulation under the Act. a. A stationary source may consist of one or more emissions units and: 1. may be a land-based point or area source; or 2. may be located in, or on, the OCS or other submerged lands beneath navigable waters (lakes, rivers, and coastal waters adjacent to Outer Continental Shelf lands); or 3. may be any internal combustion engine, or engine combination, greater than 175 horsepower (hp) used for any stationary application; or 4. may be any internal combustion engine regulated under Sec. 111 (NSPS) of the Act, regardless of size; or 5. may be any internal combustion engine of less than 175 horsepower (hp) not actually controlled to meet a regulation under Sec. 213 (Nonroad Engines and Vehicles) of the Act. b.

Michigan Chlorine dioxide is used for the PureLine treatment process as the active ingredient to the cleaning of surfaces. In the state of Michigan, chlorine dioxide emission is limited to an ambient air concentration of 0.2 micrograms per cubic meter (Page 34 of the list of air toxics). The PureLine treatment process is exempt from requiring a permit because the nature of the process is confined to the use of cleaning materials without any volatile organic contaminants (VOC) or use of mercury (R336 1281(e)), as well as less than .01 tons (10-20 pounds) of chlorine dioxide per million cubic feet of facility is emitted, which is below the .12 tons per year (240 pounds) allowed for toxic air contaminants with limits ranging between .04 micrograms and 2 micrograms. The PureLine treatment process does not require a permit in Michigan. Regulations Air Toxics List page 34

Minnesota In the state of Minnesota, emissions from any emission unit is regulated, where an emission unit is a source that emits any air contaminant (MAR 7005.0100 subpart 10b). However, if these regulations, if the source type is not listed under the requirements for either a part 70 application (MAR 7007.200), or the state permit requirement (7007.250), then it is not required to obtain a permit (7007.300). As PureLine is neither a major source (7007.200 subpart 2), an affected source (7007.100), a solid waste incinerator/combustor, or regulated by title 40 part 70 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) it is not required to receive a part 70 permit.The PureLine treatment process does not require a permit in Minnesota.

Texas Based on 30 TAC chapter 106.13 the state of Texas uses the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;Permit by ruleâ&#x20AC;? to classify a source or activity as exempt from needing a permit to build or operate. The emission of chlorine dioxide itself is not directly regulated, however, there is a 25 tons per year (tpy) limit in place for release of any air contaminant into the atmosphere (30 TAC chapter 106.4 Permit by rule applicability).

Utah The state of Utah maintains the same definition of an air pollutant as the federal government (r307-101) which includes chlorine dioxide. Beyond that there are no further state limits placed specifically on chlorine dioxide. This, in addition to fact that approximately only 10-20pounds of chlorine dioxide is emitted into the air, allows operation in Utah using the small source exemption. The PureLine treatment process does no require a permit in Utah. Regulations r307-101 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Air pollutantâ&#x20AC;? means a substance that qualifies as an air pollutant as defined in 42 U.S.C.

West Virginia

PureLine falls under the category of a de minimus source (45-13-2.6) which means that the emissions from the facilities that are cleaned during our process are considered insignificant (45-13 table 45-12B) The PureLine treatment process does not require a permit in West Virginia. Regulations 45-13 2.6

“De minimis source” means any emissions unit listed in Table 4513B below, whether individual or a part of a common plan (i.e., a common set of new sources or physical changes in or changes in the method of operation of any existing stationary source). A “de minimis source” is deemed to have insignificant emissions and/ or is not usually a source of quantifiable emissions which can be practically regulated in determining potential to emit or actual emissions for the purpose of determining whether a permit is required under this rule. Emissions to the extent quantifiable from emissions units listed in Table 45-13B do not need to be added together by the source unless otherwise required by the Secretary.

table 45-13B

On-site plant maintenance and upkeep activities, including lawn care, weed control, pest control, general repairs, cleaning, painting, surface coating, welding, plumbing, grinding, cutting, woodworking, janitorial activities, re-tarring roofs, installing insulation, and paving parking lots, provided that these activities are not conducted as part of a manufacturing process and are not related to the source’s primary business activity; provided further, that for cleaning, surface coating and painting activities, the source is not subject to VOC or HAP control requirements and the source minimizes the generation of fugitive emissions of any regulated air pollutants; and provided further, that the source complies with the asbestos requirements in 45CSR34.
