Is the food you eat contaminated Will you become sick in the hospital
Will your children become sick at school. Real concerns from the World Health Organization and CDC.
Might PCTL's technology be the answer? 2019 innovation of the year.
NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The growing concern over infectious
diseases developing in facilities, such as hospitals, has caused a demand for
products to combat the spread. These diseases are caused by pathogenic
microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi and can be
spread directly or even indirectly from one person to another, according to
the World Health Organization. Practitioners are thusly seeking products that
help sanitize and disinfect spaces in order to prevent the spread of these
diseases. Even still, in some instances, these infections can originate in
animals before spreading to humans. This phenomenon has helped spur demand for
a way to combat this possibility within the food processing industry.
According to data compiled by Grand View Research, the global infection
control market was valued at USD 150.4 Billion in 2016. Furthermore, it is
expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% throughout the forecast period from 2018 to
2025. The market is primarily being driven by a rising number of government
initiatives to ensure high degree infection prevention. There are also
government organizations which are involved with issuing guidelines to ensure
awareness and promote sanitary health practices. PCT Ltd. (OTC: PCTL), Conagra
Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CAG), Flowers Foods, Inc. (NYSE: FLO), CorMedix Inc.
(NYSE: CRMD), Achaogen, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAO)
Annually, it is estimated that 48 million people get sick from a foodborne
illness, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die according to statistics by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The top five cases of foodborne
illnesses are norovirus, salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, Campylobacter,
and Staphylococcus aureus (Staph). The U.S. Department of Agriculture
estimates that foodborne illnesses cost more than USD 15.6 Billion each year.
And in order to prevent infections, the World Health Organization issued
guidelines and safety practices. However, companies have now stepped up and
developed products and machinery to help prepare foods without contamination.
"Sometimes foods we love to eat and rely on for good health are contaminated
with bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause illness, and can be deadly
for certain people. Efforts that focus on foods responsible for many illnesses
are needed to protect people and reduce foodborne illnesses in America," said
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
PCT Ltd. (OTC: PCTL) through its operating subsidiary, Paradigm Convergence
Technologies Corporation (PCT Corp), earlier last week the company announced
that, "it has received a repeat order for two large volume Hydrolyte® Systems
from one of its existing food processing customers. The referenced food
processing customer's plant currently has two systems at one facility and
purchased another large volume system from PCT as a result of their 2018 plant
expansion.
Jody Read, CEO of PCT LTD, commented, 'PCT's history of providing its
customers with quality equipment that is designed for supportability and built
with higher standards has allowed PCT's systems to last longer and with
minimal downtime. Our R&D group, headed by Stuart Emmons, P.E., has developed
newer and better designs as well as improved reliability.'
PCT's new design is being incorporated into all its large volume Hydrolyte®
systems that are being used in Agricultural and Oil & Gas markets. The ability
to produce thousands of gallons per day, per system, allows for the
post-harvest disinfection of fruits and vegetables for agricultural food
processing. The Hydrolyte® fluid solutions can also be used to treat existing
oil or gas wells to reduce hydrogen sulfide in "sour wells," to reduce
maintenance problems, and also to disinfect fracking water used in hydraulic
fracturing.
