Abstract: Apparatus and for providing controlled addition of a first aqueous solution having a first concentration of an aqueous chemical species at a first flow rate to a second aqueous solution having a second flow rate to provide a diluted first solution of a desired selected concentration of the chemical species, the apparatus having a second solution sensor to obtain data on the second solution selected from the second flow rate and the temperature of the second solution; a first solution sensor to obtain data on the temperature of the first solution; a pump to effect addition of the first solution to the second solution to provide the diluted first solution; and a CPU (i) to receive the data selected from the second flow rate and temperature data from the second solution sensor; (ii) to receive the temperature sensing data on the first solution from the first solution sensor; (iii) to effect algorithmic treatment of the data from the first and second sensor, to provide pump control data; and (iv) to control t

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing bacteria-free iodine-species-containing drinking water for farm animals under continuous dynamic water flow, comprising dissolving solid iodine into a first water flow to produce a saturated iodine species-containing aqueous solution at a pre-selected temperature; blending the saturated solution with a second water flow to produce a diluted iodine species bacterium-free aqueous solution; and providing the diluted solution as drinking water to the animals. Preferably, the iodine is dissolved in the first water flow to provide a saturated iodine species at a pre-selected temperature at a known concentration, which saturated solution is then blended into a mean water flow. The continuous flow of iodine species-containing water is fed to a farm animal drinking water distribution network with reduced risk of back-contamination by bacteria-containing water through the network.

Abstract: A method of preserving without bacterial spoilage and reducing the risk of bacterial contamination during the storage and/or transfer of foodstuffs, comprising treating said foodstuff or the locus of said foodstuff with a bacterially- effect amount of iodinated ice. The method is of particular value in the preservation of fish and fish products.
