A wastewater treatment system is disclosed which uses algae to generate oxygen for primary digestion of municipal wastewater. A coagulant composition containing a cationic starch and an aluminum salt is used to remove algae and other solids from the wastewater stream. The unique combination of the starch coagulant and algae species produced water of exceptionally low turbidity.

A system and method for controlling bacteria, especially lactic and acetic acid bacteria in the production of ethanol using an organic oxidizing compound in combination with an inorganic oxidizer is provided. Particularly, a mixture of one or more peroxy acids and one or more peroxide compounds is introduced into a fermentation mash so as to inhibit or reduce levels of bacteria that compete with yeast for the fermentation sugars. The peroxy acid and peroxide compounds largely are consumed during the fermentation process and are generally not present in the fermentation by-products, especially recovered distiller's grains.

Methods for reducing thermophilic spore-forming bacteria that can lead to off-odors and tastes in beverage products, especially fruit or vegetable juice products, are provided. The methods employ one or more peroxy acids that are added to the beverage handling system prior to pasteurization and concentration of the beverage product. Particularly, the peroxy acid is added prior to final filtration of the beverage product upstream of the pasteurizer and concentrator.

A system and method for controlling bacteria in the production of whey protein concentrate (WPC) using an organic oxidizer. In embodiments, peracetic acid is introduced into whey solution before or after it encounters one or more ultrafilters. The peracetic acid, even when used in minute quantities, has proven to have sufficient antimicrobial effect such that bacteria counts in the filter are maintained at acceptable levels. The reduction in bacteria not only helps reduce WPC bacteria counts, but also enables the filters to run longer between cleanings.

Compositions for rapidly dissolving mineral deposits on the surface of an apparatus, particularly a food or beverage-handling clean-in-place (CIP) apparatus, and methods of using the same are provided. In particular, the compositions are effective in removing magnesium phosphate deposits and comprise at least two mineral acids, with one of the mineral acids being nitric acid, and at least one nonionic surfactant.

Antimicrobial compositions and methods of using the same for controlling microbial contamination on various foodstuff's during processing are provided. The antimicrobial composition includes a relatively low concentration of active iodine as the antimicrobial agent, but achieves a high efficacy when applied directly to the foodstuff being processed. The present invention can be carried out during processing of meat, poultry, fish, seafood, and even produce with little or no reduction in quality of the final edible product.
