Need to eliminate iron bacteria? Need to remove Hydrogen Sulfide? Oxidize iron and manganese?
Bio-hydrox is a non-toxic Chlorine alternative advanced oxidation product certified NSF/ANSI 60 and available in the USA market since 2013. It is sometimes called “liquid ozone” because it acts similar to ozone when reacts with water.
Pros of Bio-hydrox in Water Well Applications
- Advanced oxidation
- Green & sustainable chemistry
- 100% solubility in water
- Very fast acting
- Does not require as much residence time as other chemicals
- Purge water is not an environmental hazard
- Does not need equipment for diluting, mixing or activation
- Does not release gases
- Eliminate odor and color problems
- Is effective in an ample pH range of 4.5 to 9
- Does not directly impact the pH of the water
- Non-corrosive
- Destroys biofilm
- 100% bacterial elimination
- Very long residual activity
- Prevent scaling, corrosion, pitting
- Removes emerging contaminants, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, antibiotics
“As we have come to better understand well blockage, we realize that clogging of flow pathways and intake areas on screens and pumps is due not just to deposits of minerals, but it is a combination of mineralization and bacterial slime. Most often the mineral deposits are preceded by a bacterial structure known as biofilm. The process is so universal that biofilm plugging is responsible for at least 80 percent of the well blockage.”
Bio-hydrox Vs Chlorine
- Less storage and transport volume
- No extra trips. Negative lab results at follow up.
- More reliability, complete disinfection
- Destroys biofilm
- Smaller dosage, easier handling, No toxic fumes
- No taste or smell at 100 ppm
- Longer residual activity
- No sensitive to pH and does not affect pH
- Kills Legionella, Crypto and Giardia. Removes SO2
- Breaks down environmental & emerging contaminants. Can remediate superfund sites
- Bio-hydrox can take 10 to 20 times less storage.
- One treatment is enough
- ORP control guarantees results
- Chlorine does not remove bio-film
- Less amount of product is needed.
- 100 ppm is enough for most applications
- Does not evaporate and protects longer
- No need to adjust pH
- No resistance from pathogens
- Effective at in situ remediation
