Things To Know About Winery Sanitation

By Essie Osborn


A winery should be kept as sanitary as it can possibly be and this should be maintained. There are many ways to make sure that you do maintain winery sanitation, although one way is by using ozone. For over a hundred years, this has been used in several different ways for water treatment. This varied from things such as sewer works to things like swimming pools.

To be used with bottled water that needs purifying was the only way that was permitted for a long time, however. Recently, though, it has been permitted to be used with foodstuffs, which meant that wineries could be sanitised with ozone. There are a few areas, alongside general sanitation, where this is required.

Surface cleaning, barrel cleaning and tank cleaning are things that are included, here. Ozone systems, when they are used, are generally only kept in a single place. This way, it is easier, where the ozone is concerned, to maintain both health and safety levels. There are often a few operators with wineries, however, so these systems can be mobile which can, in turn, mean that the safety is more likely to be disrupted.

It is very important, this means, to ensure that safety features are always in place. The system is also required to be both well maintained and reliable. Ozone interacts with both microbial membranes and denaturing metabolic enzymes and this is how it works.

It then degrades them and will also do the same with any microbial biofilms that it might might. After the release of this oxidizing potential, the ozone will then turn back into oxygen, which it generated from. This means that there is no residue left, afterwards, but it also means that you should not store the ozone. Every time that it is used, it should be freshly generated.

Since it is a toxic gas, however, it must be monitored when it is being used in the workplace. There are also official limits that have been set for how much it should be used in the workplace. If you are using it, of course, this needs to very much be considered. There are monitors that are available to get so that you can be safe enough.

To pick out the monitor that is best for you and your situation, , there are specialists that can have you. To get instruction on how your system should be used, it is essential that you have a manual. You should, in addition to this, also make sure that you keep records of how the system is being used, as well as the monitor. Also make sure that you employ a technician who will come in to verify that the system is running smoothly. The kind of thing that needs verification are flow rates and concentration.

One very important thing to make sure of is that it all of the ozone used is then accounted for. It could be that there are lots of leaks that have released the gas, which can be very dangerous. When it comes to monitoring, the way that you have used the ozone is important. You may be dissolving it in water for the purpose of sanitation. You might, on the other hand, just be using it to get a cellar fumigated.
