Miox : My Water. My World.

Marine

MIOX systems are used in military seafaring vessels through a partnership with Howell Labs. [Shipboard Applications]

MIOX Corporation is researching how similar designs can be utilized onboard commercial and cruise industry fleets for potable water, wastewater, and swimming pool applications. 

Industry-specific advantages include:

• Reduced inventory and weight when compared with bulk hypochlorite (bleach). To generate one pound of free available chlorine (FAC) through a MIOX unit requires around 4 pounds of salt. In contrast, one pound of FAC as bulk hypochlorite weighs approximately 10 pounds, more than doubling the weight of the disinfectant.
• MIOX-produced halogen is used immediately and is not subject to degradation during storage, as is bleach.
• Safety in handling, storage, and use — the MIOX technology requires only salt, water, and power. No hazardous chemicals are generated or stored.
• The MIOX technology’s ability to maintain an active chlorine residual is significantly easier than when working with bleach.
• MIOX technology’s elimination of biofilms, which can harbor disease-causing Legionella bacteria and exert a demand on the system and an increase in required halogen dosing.
