Chemical Sanitation System for Pots and Pans in Field Operations

Abstract

This study was initiated by the Air Force with the objective to develop a chemical sanitation system which would effectively clean and sanitize pots and pans in the field. Two requirements were addressed: 1) A need to clean and sanitize in cold water temperatures (15 - 25 C), and 2) A need to reduce the amount of water required for cleaning pots and pans in the field. The prototype developed did not satisfactorily perform in a field test. Though the item developed did not perform to expectations, it was determined that the overall system for cleaning and sanitizing has merit. The difficulty with the product developed was not in sanitizing in cold water but in removing grease at these low water temperatures. At this time there is no commercial product or combination of products available that can clean pots and pans effectively at these cold water temperatures.
