Key results
99.95% E. coli reduction
99.6% CMT reduction
21 hours treatment time

Case Study from HydroFLOW Italy

The Challenge

  • Sugary syrup needed reuse without added preservatives
  • Organic product quality had to be maintained
  • Pepper concentrate was fermented for 24 hours
  • Starting microbial load reached 10⁷ to 10⁸ CFU/ml

The Solution

A HydroFLOW® i45 was installed on the pump suction pipe of a 300L pilot recirculation system treating fermented pepper concentrate for 21 hours. Treatment reduced microbial load across all measured species, with results recorded by Cesarin’s in-house laboratory.

Key Outcomes

R

E. coli cut from 2.00×10⁴ to 1.00×10¹ CFU/ml

R

Coliforms down 96.6%, yeasts down 87.99%

R

CMT reduced by 99.6%, Enterococci by 99.5%

R

Molds reduced by 80% after 21 hours

Independent Verification
