Poultry

Oxiflo has been improving the water quality and biosecurity on poultry farms for many years. We are highly experienced and successful at identifying potential weaknesses in farm practices and cleaning programmes, allowing us to present cost-effective solutions aimed at enhancing performance and production.

We recommend continually treating your water supply with a sophisticated Oxidising Biocide such as Silvenox (Dual Active Silver Hydrogen Peroxide) or Oxiflo 1 & 2 (Chlorine Dioxide) as this will provide countless benefits:

Pigs

A piglet’s body is made up of 80% water and a finisher pig is made up of 50% water, these water levels must be maintained which is why over 50% of a pig’s diet consists of water.  As 85% of growing pigs will be drinking water within 10 minutes of eating, it is imperative to prioritise the input which contributes to over half their total consumption.

DEFRA state in their code of practice for the welfare of pigs: “All pigs over two weeks of age must have continuous access to a sufficient quantity of fresh drinking water”.

Farms using Oxiflo products for their continual water treatment and terminal disinfection have benefitted from:

Dairy

Water quality alone is often the difference between struggling and high performing farms with strong production levels. Our water treatment chemicals are designed to remove bacteria, disinfecting the water and pipework in tandem, all whilst maintaining superior water quality and palatability.

Much like the unpleasant taste that bacteria can create in water, basic commodity chemicals like chlorine and chlorinated compounds can provide unpleasant tastes and odours in the water as well, not to mention the creation of disinfection by-products (DBPs). These factors contribute to reduced water consumption which has drastic effects on production, performance and ultimately profitability.

The use of Oxiflo products on your site will assist with:

Drinking Water for Humans and Animals (PT05)

Oxiflo specialise in the formulation of two highly sophisticated Oxidising Biocides used within drinking water applications.

Our Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) generated via the DWI approved Reg 31 Oxiflo 1 & 2 system is a powerful multipurpose biocide.

Silvenox is our 50% Dual Active Silver Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) used primarily for continual water treatment within the agricultural sector.

These broad-spectrum biocides can be utilised as a primary disinfectant as well as an oxidant in drinking water treatment (potable applications), enhancing the final quality of drinking water, improving the odour, taste, and colour, all whilst simultaneously preventing the build-up of biofilm within the drinker lines.

Both chemistries are highly effective in controlling waterborne pathogens without creating DBPs (Disinfection by-products) associated with traditional methods. Both products are also more effective against viruses, bacteria, and fungi when compared with chlorine or chlorinated compounds.

Please contact us for an in depth IFU for the application of Oxiflo 1 & 2 for drinking water purposes.

Agricultural Building Washing & Disinfection

The Oxiflo range offers a selection of high performing and cost-effective products used for terminal cleaning, from pre-washes to disinfectants of varying chemistry.  

Our products provide great coverage to ensure work is not duplicated meaning one steady pass with Oxifoam, Peroxiflo or Oxiflo Mist is plentiful, secure in the knowledge that every job will be completed within a timely manner without sacrificing great results. As a result, our products have become increasingly popular amongst agricultural service providers and washing companies.   

Our products are formulated with only the highest quality of raw materials, providing you with the tools required to offer a superior service, ensuring your customers farms and agricultural buildings are cleaned to the highest standard.  

All products are easily applied utilising readily available equipment including pressure washers, orchard sprayers, knapsacks, foggers and foaming lances.  

Please contact us for the ‘Oxiflo Cleaning & Disinfection Programme’. 

Whether you are processing fresh and perishable produce or operating an evisceration line, demonstrably good hygiene and water management practices are key to a safe environment for both employees and consumers.   

As our products are extremely stable and are formulated to the highest industry standards, many of our food processing customers are able to use Oxiflo products at very low concentrations without compromising biosecurity levels, quality or taste of the end produce.  

Various pathogens are constantly trying to disrupt the process by spoiling and cross-contaminating processed items. It is of utmost importance from a food safety point of view, that any process water which comes into contact with produce, whether directly or indirectly, should be constantly monitored and protected. Our multi-purpose biocides are capable of neutralising several waterborne issues simultaneously. 

Please contact us to discover how Oxiflo products are being used in food related applications including ready to eat produce.  

CIP

Peroxiflo and Oxicip form part of an integral role in the disinfection and sanitisation of Clean-In-Place (CIP) systems. Our products are used to decontaminate the internal surfaces of tanks, food and beverage process pipes, homogenisers and more. Our powerful and user-friendly range of products aid hygienic and safe production.  

Terminal & Surface Disinfection

Silvenox, Peroxiflo and Oxiflo Mist are excellent terminal and surface disinfectants for a range of applications. Our product range provides the flexibility of using three different chemistries, benefiting many of our customers who are advised to alternate their terminal and surface disinfectants.

Our chemicals are widely used for surface disinfection, fogging and biofilm removal. Oxiflo products are easily applied using Dosatrons, knapsacks, pressure washers, foggers or introduced directly into header tanks.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements in more detail or to arrange a site survey.

Legionella Control

Oxiflo products such as Oxiflo 1 & 2, Oxiflo Mist and Silvenox are being used extensively by water treatment companies, supporting their respective water hygiene management contracts.

The use of Oxidising Biocides such as Chlorine Dioxide & Hydrogen Peroxide are instrumental within many water hygiene management programs across the UK.

We are privileged to supply a number of Legionella (L8) control & facility management companies with a range of compliant, high-quality and cost-effective chemicals.

Please contact us for in-depth IFUs for both Hydrogen Peroxide & Chlorine Dioxide for Legionella control.

Iron & Manganese Filtration

Occasionally, natural water supplies such as boreholes, require mechanical intervention as well as polishing disinfection to achieve the best results. Our chemicals are used extensively as part of Iron and Manganese filtration systems as both a pre-oxidiser and as a polishing disinfectant. Thus, allowing borehole water supplies to operate in a more hygienic and efficient manner.

Borehole water supplies present many challenges, primarily high Iron and Manganese levels. We have successfully treated highly contaminated boreholes with a combination of filtration and chemical dosing in the UK & Eire, bringing the water up to potable standards. Thus, ensuring confidence in the integral aspect of water quality.  

Depending upon your water quality test results and flow rates, appropriate suggestions as to which type of media, backwash cycle, pre-oxidiser and set  up will be required. Our chemicals are easy to apply and retrofit to existing water systems via a simple dosing rig.

Irrigation

Clean, bacteria and bug-free water is essential to the success of any horticultural or agronomic operation. Maintaining a biofilm and bacteria-free environment contributes to healthy crops and plants, as well as positively impacting overall profitability. 

There are countless benefits of a comprehensive Irrigation regime and this stage remains to be one of the most crucial aspects of crop and plant cultivation. Irrigating from a bacteria-free and biosecure water supply assists the full process from start to finish, including seedbed preparation, germination, root growth, nutrient utilisation, growth, yield & quality.
