The MIOX Advantage

Unlike other treatment options, MIOX offers the safest water in the world.  Generated on site, MIOX produces safe, clean, pure water on site, with a technology and process that that is safe for both the environment and your budget. MIOX on-demand systems are easy to maintain and offer the flexibility of producing either sodium hypochlorite or a mixed oxidant solution for more advanced customer needs.

MIOX mixed oxidant solution provides a water quality that is safer to drink. At the same doses and contact times as conventional chlorine, mixed oxidant solution has been shown in numerous laboratory studies to achieve a more thorough and more rapid inactivation of a wider range of microbes.

Mixed oxidant solution has also been proven very effective against the build-up of biofouling that forms inside of water system distribution pipelines and that can harbor harmful microorganisms. By eliminating this biofouling, mixed oxidant solution removes a potential shelter for bacteria in the drinking water supply.

Chlorination reacts with organics in the water to form what are called chlorinated by-products. Some of these are considered to be cancerous, so the EPA limits the permissible levels to margins considered to be safe. Water utilities that have converted to MIOX mixed oxidant solution reported reduced formation of these cancerous by-products.

Overall, mixed oxidant solution provides the public with a better quality drinking water via superior microorganism inactivation, removal of biofouling, and reduced formation of chlorinated by-products.
One of the clear advantages to the MIOX technology is the very significant reduction in all risks currently associated with conventional chlorination technology, especially as these risks present themselves to water system operators and the community.
