Hypo or Mixed Oxidants?

MIOX Corporation manufactures disinfection systems to address various source water qualities, while fulfilling the EPA requirements for a chlorine residual in the distributions system. On-site generation of hypochlorite or mixed oxidants is the only disinfection alternative that meets the top three requirements within a single technology for effective microorganism inactivation, safe operation and a chlorine residual.
Chlorine (in the form of hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ion) is the only measurable
component in both mixed oxidants and sodium hypochlorite produced on site. However, there
is ample evidence for the presence of other chlor-oxygen species in the mixed-oxidant solution, as noted by various operational improvements reported both in the laboratory and in the field.

On-site generation of hypochlorite is ideal for those sites that desire a safer method of treating their water supply while still maintaining a chlorine residual, but that have no other water quality concerns.

Mixed oxidants behave like chlorine dioxide or ozone while offering a residual chlorine
disinfectant to comply with EPA requirements. Based on various third-party studies,
the EPA does not require mixed-oxidant users to monitor for any by-products other than TTHMs and HAA5, just as with other forms of chlorine. Mixed-oxidant customers can enjoy the benefits of a superior disinfection technology as reported below, while still maintaining a chlorine residual, all in a single technology.
