What equipment makes up the MIOX system and how does it work? What does it look like? Read through this section to learn about MIOX system support components.
Feed water to the MIOX unit must be conditioned for optimal system performance. This includes filtration, removal of calcium carbonate, control of temperature, and control of pressure. (more)
Salt is the primary feedstock to the MIOX system and is necessary for electrolysis. Dry salt is stored in a tank that also serves as the brine generator. A brine filter removes particulate matter from salt that could clog the electrolytic cell. An optional brine pump assists with transfer of brine to the MIOX system.(more)
Once the disinfectant is generated, it is stored in a tank for injection into the water supply. Storage tanks are typically sized for 12 to 24 hours’ worth of storage. The level in the tank is controlled by a either a mechanical level switch or a pressure transducer. When the controller indicates a low level, the on-site generator is turned on to produce more disinfectant. When the switch indicates a high level, the on-site generator is turned off.
The evolution of hydrogen gas is also managed in the oxidant tank. MIOX offers both liquid barrier hydrogen safety systems and dilution air systems to safely diffuse and vent hydrogen to the atmosphere. (more)
Disinfectant is injected into the water supply at rates appropriate for treatment goals. Various methods of injection can be employed, including chemical metering pumps, venturi injectors, and centrifugal feed pumps. These can be adjusted manually or via a 4-20 milliamp input. Injection can be flow-paced or controlled off of chlorine residuals.(more)
