ABSTRACT:
Sodium ortho-phenylphenate is admixed with water to produce a process water for treating produce. Potassium carbonate is admixed with the process water in an amount necessary to necessary to raise the specific gravity of the process water to a level whereat it will float fruits and vegetables that would otherwise tend to sink in the process water. When a chlorine-based biocide is used in the process water potassium bicarbonate is used to provide the desired specific gravity of the process water. Over time, used process water is cleaned by settling, by use of a filter, or by use of some other mechanical separating equipment, and the cleaned process water is recycled.
