WHICH LOOK DO YOU PREFER FOR THE INSIDE OF YOUR COOLING TOWER?

Bottled purified water was boiled for 5 minutes in the pot showed on the image to your left. There is sediment buildup around the water line. This scaling reduces the effectivity of energy transfer.
To your right, same amount of tap water ( Tap water was originally 7.3 pH and 315 mV ) with 1 drop of Bio-hydrox was boiled for 5 minutes. There is no sediment buildup because there was no biofilm! Bio-hydrox destroys biofilm, even mature ones. It provides excellent biofilm control at all water temperatures.

How do pH, Oxygen and Hydrogen Affect Redox Potential in Water?

Posted on

Oxidation reduction potential, also called redox or ORP, is the energy potential for chemical processes to neutralize contamination. The ORP level shows the minimal voltage in the water, which comes from the electric charge of reducing agents or oxidizing agents. An ORP meter measures in millivolts, or mV.

As the concentration of molecular oxygen increases, the redox potential increases: An increase of dissolved molecular oxygen from 0.5 to 1.5 mg ˣ L-1 (1 ppm) is accompanied by an increase in redox potential of 7 mV.

As the concentration of molecular oxygen decreases, the redox potential decreases: A decrease of dissolved molecular oxygen from 1.5 to 0.5 mg ˣ L-1 (1 ppm) is accompanied by a decrease in redox potential of 7 mV.

As the concentration of molecular hydrogen increases, the redox potential decreases: An increase of dissolved molecular hydrogen from 0.5 to 1.5 mg ˣ L-1 (1 ppm) is accompanied by a decrease in redox potential of 14 mV.

As the concentration of molecular hydrogen decreases, the redox potential increases. An increase of dissolved molecular hydrogen from 0.5 to 1.5 mg ˣ L-1 (1 ppm) is accompanied by a decrease in redox potential of 14 mV.

As the concentration of hydrogen ions increases (and pH decreases), the redox potential increases: A decrease of one pH unit (10 ˣ more acidic) is accompanied by an increase in redox potential of 59 mV at 25 °C.

As the concentration of hydrogen ions decreases (and pH increases), the redox potential decreases. An increase of one pH unit (10 ˣ more alkaline) is accompanied by an decrease in redox potential of 59 mV at 25 °C.

Small changes in the hydrogen ion concentration (pH) can cover up large changes in the hydrogen or oxygen concentrations.

A Simple Solution to Control Novel Coronavirus Outbreaks

Posted on

Aerosolization of oxygen charged water with mineral electrolyte catalysts opens new opportunities for fast and large scale control of the new coronavirus.

The reactive oxygen species generated by the Bio-hydrox are present in dissolved form and ionized as unstable molecules, and easily bioabsorbable. The vapors and aerosolized mist are breathable and will not cause irritation to the lung linings when inhaled in low concentrations. It has been found effective at eliminating on contact waterborne viruses and bacteria at concentration levels well below 0.001%. The non-toxic nature of its oxidative technology is an attractive proposition as a scalable water-based vector to interrupt the spread of pathogens by breaking the chain at the mode of transmission. Dilutions of Bio-hydrox under 1% can reliably treat indoor and outdoor environments to inactivate airborne microorganisms and sanitize exposed surfaces. It can be used with domestic devices like aromatherapy diffusers, as well as room vaporizers, humidifiers, and large environmental fogging and misting systems.

AOP MINERALIZED WHOLE FOOD NUTRIENT AND AVOIDED CROP FREEZE DAMAGE

Posted on

My favorite customer from Louisiana owns 600 acres near Lake Charles and wanted to plant green rice on a 160-acre farm. However, in a 12-acre area, the aquatic vegetation was so heavy that it did not allow sunlight during the summer to dry the soil and he couldn’t pull the plow to prepare for Fall planting. Already 3 weeks behind schedule, instead he flooded to 2” of water, applied Bio-hydrox, worked the organic ground cover into the mud with a buffalo and planted the rice seeds with an airplane. What happened next was unexpected. This late rice grew denser, with a deeper green color and so fast than in less than 2 months it reached the size of the crops planted 3 weeks in advance. In mid-November, temperature dropped below freezing 2 nights which caused the rice crops in the region to fray, including my customer’s farm (left photo) and except for the 12-acre land (right) where Bio-hydrox had oxidized organic matter in the mud, controlled decay and mineralized rich nutrients from natural whole food source making them easier to be absorbed by the root systems, accelerated growth and developed a healthier and stronger plant, better suited to resist exposure to freezing conditions.

WHAT ELSE CAN AN ODOR CONTROL CHEMICAL DO FOR YOU?

Posted on

Does it mask, neutralize, or eliminate the source? What additional benefits are you receiving? Bio-hydrox advanced oxidation delivers non-toxic and anti-corrosive odor control that can be added directly to the water, sprayed over landfills, or misted in water and air delivery systems. In addition to elimination of the source it will also kill microorganisms, oxidize organics and inorganics, and degrade complex molecules into easier to digest substances for wastewater bioreactors. Bio-hydrox has the highest efficiency at sequestering sulfide, with lab results showing a ratio of 1 ppm required to remove 2 ppm of Hydrogen Sulfide. In oil field studies, we have found that injecting Bio-hydrox upstream removes Iron, sulfides and reducing bacteria, resulting in a produced water with no Iron, H2S or microbial contamination. By eliminating bacteria, the biofilm control in the pipes significantly increased production by optimizing upstream and midstream flow. Bio-hydrox was also found to inhibit crystallization of paraffins/asphaltenes and deposits were not formed. Bio-hydrox has NSF/ANSI 60 and can be used with odor control fogging equipment in food preparation facilities and to control microbial contamination in greenhouses.

ENHANCED FREE CHLORINE CONVERSION

Posted on

Chloramine is an effective disinfectant that provides long-lasting chlorine residual. A free chlorine conversion, or “chlorine burn”, is a tool for control of biological growth in distribution systems and is necessary when a water system that typically uses chloramine have excess ammonia, due to premature loss of chlorine residual by established biofilms, which can serve as a food source for nitrifying bacteria. This scenario can make it difficult for public water systems to maintain an appropriate disinfectant residual.

A free chlorine conversion eliminates the ammonia and uses only chlorine to disinfect the water. It is a common practice as a preventative strategy to maintain the system cleaner or to reduce biofilm and nitrifying bacteria so that a satisfactory disinfectant residual can be maintained, avoiding negative impact on water quality.

There are however disadvantages in the chlorine conversion process. All of which, can be avoided by enhancing the chlorine burn process with the addition of Bio-hydrox’s advanced oxidation catalyst:

  • Significant reduction of disinfection by-products
  • Evade chlorine taste and odor issues
  • Immediate elimination of ammonia
  • Faster and better removal of biofilm
  • More effective disinfection and quicker system cleanup with less amount of chlorine
  • With less chlorine, treatment is less corrosive to the pipes
  • The system will be able to maintain a chlorine residual longer

The combination of chlorine with Bio-hydrox and ORP monitoring for continuous evaluation in real-time can help to complete the process in a few days, rather than weeks:

At an ORP of 350 mV and above: There is no nitrification taking place.

At an ORP of 500 mV and above: There is no ammonia

At an ORP of 700 mV and above: There are no microorganisms

PROBLEMS WITH CHLORINE-RESISTANT PATHOGENS?

Posted on

There is not known microorganism capable of building resistance against Bio-hydrox’s advanced oxidation. Several waterborne pathogens are chlorine-resistant. Among them, viruses, parasites, and bacteria that can cause hepatitis, gastroenteritis, cryptosporidiosis and Legionnaires’ disease make it thru the disinfection process and can still be found in finished water. Some treatment improvements like enhanced coagulation and filtration, and post-treatment options like UV radiation, are becoming more popular as a way to increase the biological safety of drinking water. Other alternatives are implemented in non-drinking water applications including swimming pools, water parks, and cooling systems.

Bio-hydrox is NSF approved for use in potable and non-potable water systems. Microorganisms cannot mutate and become resistant because advanced oxidation will destroy their DNA. Is that simple. The DNA molecule that carries the bacterium instructions for development and reproduction is gone forever. It works all the time even when pathogens are protected by a spore or cyst, or in a dormant state.

A NEW TRICK TO LOWER DISINFECTION BY-PRODUCTS

Posted on

CAN CHLORINE DO BETTER??? YES IT CAN!.

Bio-hydrox can combine with Hypochlorite to help it work better while reducing DBPs. They have great affinity because Bio-hydrox is a chlorine product itself, however with a radically different molecular arrangement , a “Mineral Oxychloride Solution”, a combination of transition mineral chelates with chlorite ion as ligands forming oxygen bonds that break easily when energized by the mineral catalysts and causing the oxygen metabolites to spin-off, thus initiating a radical chain reaction.

Why is Bio-hydrox a chlorine compound? By definition, any compound that can produce hypochlorite ions, OCl-, is an active chlorine compound. This needs further clarification. We are a passive chlorine compound. Bio-hydrox oxidative power is mainly supported by hydroxyl radicals. When the water system reaches a level of saturation, the extra energy of the redox reactions causes chlorite ions to form oxygen bonds of its own and generate chlorine residual as OCl, not a good germicidal and not a good oxidant, and also not the acidifying HOCl. Bio-hydrox does not lower the pH of the water. Got it?

Put us to the test! Replace 10% Hypo with the same volume of Bio-hydrox and watch your numbers change! Reduce TOC, DBP, BOD, COD. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6563095110500798465/

ADVANCED OXIDATION CAN ACHIEVE COMPLETE MINERALIZATION

Posted on

DO YOU NEED AN ADVANCED OXIDATION PROCESS?

Is your current water treatment protocol effectively eliminating all the contaminants? Are you happy with the quality of the water?

Is your effluent in violation of local and federal regulations? AOPs do not create disinfection byproducts and breakdown existing DBPs. They can reduce organic matter and help you stay in compliance. Advanced oxidation processes are the fastest acting and cover the maximum pollutant spectrum compared to all other technologies.
