A Study of the Electro-Pure Process of Treating Milk

Base Hospital, Camp Meade, Maryland

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION

The milk supply of Camp Meade is furnished by a private dairy company which has its plant for pasteurization and distribution located in the Camp. The plant obtains its supply of milk from the surrounding country and from dealers in Baltimore and after being brought to Camp is pasteurized before being distributed. Until last November the usual holding method of pasteurization was employed but about the middle of November the plant was destroyed by fire. When the new plant was built, instead of replacing the former equipment, the company installed the Electro-pure process which, as will be described later, makes use of a high voltage electric current for the purpose of purification. At the request of the Surgeon-General's Office this laboratory has made a rather thorough study of this process, the results of which are given in this report.

THE ELECTRO-PURE PROCESS DESCRIBED

In figures 1 and 2 are shown two views of the Electro-pure machine.
