ABOUT SUPERNOVA

The calculation assumes the dairy farmer moves from a daily hot water wash programme to an alternate day hot/cold water wash programme using SUPERNOVA acid detergent.

SUPERNOVA is an organic acid which is used at a 1ml/litre use rate. By using less detergent per wash compared to other typical acid detergents (1.5ml/litre) as well as the alternate day cold water wash programme, dairy farmers can also expect to use less electricity, resulting in lower costs for cleaning milk plant.

Environmental benefits include lower toxicity and higher biodegradability of waste water through SUPERNOVA's organic formulation and less energy required to maintain superior milk plant cleaning prgorammes.
