From Legacy Plants to New Builds: Rethinking Pathogen Control Strategy 

This expert-led webinar examines pathogen control challenges in legacy, brownfield, and new greenfield food processing facilities. Industry experts will discuss hygienic design, sanitation, airflow, and continuous pathogen reduction strategies, including how DHP® technology complements existing sanitation programs. Peer-reviewed data and real-world case studies will highlight approaches to reducing airborne and surface-level pathogens.

Food processing facilities change over time. Additions or changes to equipment, modifications to production areas, and buildings designed years ago must support today’s more modern operations. These changes can create new challenges for pathogen control. In this food safety expert-led webinar, we’ll explore pathogen control and risk considerations for legacy or brownfield facilities, and new greenfield builds. 

Older plants can have aging infrastructure, equipment modifications and hard-to-clean areas where pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella and E. coli can become a concern. What happens between sanitation cycles can matter, too. 

Greenfield projects allow manufacturers to consider pathogen control from the start, alongside hygienic design, zoning, airflow, equipment placement, sanitation and environmental monitoring.  

What You’ll Learn: 
•    Where pathogen control can become challenging in legacy and brownfield facilities, including the role of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, E. coli and other pathogens 
•    What can happen between sanitation cycles and where continuous pathogen control technology complements established cleaning and sanitation programs 
•    What to consider when incorporating pathogen control strategies into a greenfield project, including facility design, airflow, zoning and equipment placement 
•    Key questions to ask when evaluating a pathogen control strategy for an existing facility or new build 
•    Peer-reviewed data and real-world industry case studies of how DHP® technology is an effective method for continuous surface-level and airborne pathogen reduction.
