PMO Guidelines – Creating Pasteurized Equivalent Water with Ultraviolet Disinfection

The Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) is a set of minimum standards and requirements for regulating the production, processing and packaging of “Grade A” milk. An advancement in the PMO is the approval of ultraviolet disinfection (UV) as an equivalent to pasteurization for push or flush water. The PMO provides guidelines for the use of UV in both continuous flow and for the creation of pasteurized equivalent water.  You will learn the history of the PMO regulation, a review of PMO requirements for UV, lessons learned from actual installations and the benefits of UV over pasteurization.
