A system for creating and dispersing a dry fog utilizing a production system for producing hypochlorous acid, a preservation system for preserving hypochlorous acid, and a dry fog system for creating dry fog droplets of hypochlorous acid.

A system, comprising: a chlorine source in form of an electrolysis unit to generate an in-situ generated active chlorine; wherein a concentration of perchlorate is not more than half of a concentration of chlorate; and pH of a fluid containing in-situ generated active chlorine is more than 7.4; a buffer tank to store a concentrate of in-situ generated active chlorine as a free available chlorine (FAC); a fluid distribution system to supply FAC in form of an in-use fluid to the cabinet; wherein the system is configured to clean and disinfect an article with the fluid while complying with national and international standards for food safety, operator's safety and regulatory requirements regarding the use of biocides.

A method of treating a biological surface. The method includes a first generator dispersing a first dryfog within a sealed chamber, then exhausting the first dry fog from the sealed chamber. Further the first generator or a second generator dispersing a second dry fog within the sealed chamber, then exhausting the second dry fog from the sealed chamber.

A chlorine dioxide gas generating system for sterilizing equipment in a chamber is provided. The system includes a chlorine dioxide gas generating device configured to generate chlorine dioxide gas, a vacuum pump, and a port assembly comprising a port member fluidly coupled to the vacuum pump and configured to be maintained in an interior of the chamber. The vacuum pump is configured to pump the chlorine dioxide gas from the device into the chamber through the port member in order to sterilize the equipment, and after a predetermined period of time, pull a gas other than the chlorine dioxide gas into and out of the chamber at least one time through the port member in order to remove humidity from the chamber and cause the chlorine dioxide gas to be drawn out of the chamber through the port member.

A dry mist generating apparatus has a plastic housing, an ultrasonic transducer, a fan inducing airflow within the plastic housing, a diffuser plate for directing airflow, increasing velocity, and decreasing pressure, at least one opening for releasing the resulting dry mist, and a reservoir for capturing droplets that exceed 4 microns.

Warewash detergent compositions with reducing agents to overcome corrosion challenges in stainless steel dish machines subject to conditions from chlorine sanitizing rinse steps (or other oxidizing chlorine containing compositions) are provided. Liquid and solid detergent composition beneficially containing a reducing agent that reacts with chlorine introduced in sanitizing rinse steps that follow detergent cleaning steps are provided. Methods for ware washing using the detergent compositions with reducing agents and methods for reducing residual chlorine in a ware washing cycle are also provided.

A system, comprising: a chlorine source in form of an electrolysis unit to generate an insitu generated active chlorine; wherein a concentration of perchlorate is not more than half of a concentration of chlorate; and pH of a fluid containing in-situ generated active chlorine is more than 7.4; a buffer tank to store a concentrate of in-situ generated active chlorine as a free available chlorine (FAC); a fluid distribution system to supply FAC in form of an in-use fluid to the cabinet; wherein the system is configured to clean and disinfect an article with the fluid while complying with national and international standards for food safety, operator's safety and regulatory requirements regarding the use of biocides.
