Electrolysis
The MIOX process takes common electrolysis and moves it on site to your facility.
The Miox Process
The electrolysis of salt to generate chlorine has been practiced for over a century. Typically, the resulting chlorine disinfectant is packaged in cylinders (chlorine gas) or drums (sodium hypochlorite) and transported to the end user. In the 1970s, several companies began to explore the idea of making smaller electrolytic equipment that uses common salt in order to move the process on site, and eliminate the transportation and storage of hazardous chemicals. Over the last several decades, both the on-site generation process and the equipment availability have been refined and improved.
On-site generators can be designed to produce either hypochlorite or mixed oxidants at concentrations less than 1 percent of free available chlorine (FAC). Both systems utilize the same feedstocks of salt, water, and power, and both produce a chlorine-based disinfectant that is recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as safe for potable water applications.
