The BIOIONIX BIOSAIF24/7 technology represents a significant advancement in poultry processing water management, offering processors a chemical-free solution that dramatically reduces water consumption while improving food safety standards. Validation studies conducted with third-party accredited laboratories and poultry processors revealed the system achieved an impressive over 7 log reduction of pathogens, restored 81% water clarity, and enabled processors to reuse 67% of process water.
CEO Ryan Karns emphasized that the technology transforms how the poultry industry approaches water management, particularly as increasing regulatory scrutiny and water restrictions challenge food manufacturers. The system completely eliminates foul odors and undesirable characteristics associated with processing water while providing a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical treatments. Kyle Jenson, VP of Innovation and Sales, noted that the technology offers processors the opportunity to save millions of gallons of water while maintaining rigorous food safety standards.
The technology's innovative foundation traces back to a NASA grant focused on space shuttle water reuse, highlighting its scientific origins. BIOIONIX's approach eliminates dependence on toxic chemicals like peracetic acid, bleach, and ammonia, providing a natural and safe disinfection method. The EPA-registered, patented system is already FDA and USDA approved, positioning it as a promising solution for sustainable food manufacturing.
As the company celebrates 20 years in food safety, additional validations are planned for 2025, potentially expanding the technology's applications across various food processing sectors. The system addresses critical challenges in microbial prevention and water stewardship that have become increasingly important for poultry processors facing environmental regulations and consumer demand for sustainable practices. The technology's ability to restore water clarity while achieving significant pathogen reduction without chemicals represents a major shift in processing water management approaches that could influence industry standards and regulatory expectations moving forward.
