The document summarizes information about MIOX and its Mixed Oxidant Solution (MOS) technology. In 3 sentences: MIOX produces MOS through an electrolytic process that generates hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide from salt water. MOS is a more effective disinfectant than hypochlorite alone, able to destroy biofilms and reduce disinfection byproducts. MIOX has installed over 2,000 units across 30+ countries treating water, wastewater, pools and other applications.

4. What is on-site generation (OSG)?
+ +
Salt Water Power Chlorine
OSG gives power to the user
The amount you need, when you need it, and where you need it.
Eliminates storage and handling of hazardous chemicals.
5. OSG is Environmentally Benign
OSG reduces carbon emissions
12% bleach is 88% water. It takes almost 5 deliveries of bulk bleach
to equal the same amount of disinfectant generated by a single
delivery of salt
vs.
OSG Bulk Bleach
Storage footprint reduction
VS
No disposal of empty chemical containers

9. What is in Mixed Oxidant Solution (MOS)?
► Traditional measurements of the additional oxidant(s) in MOS has not been
successful
• Chlorine is a strong oxidant and interferes with measurement
► There are a small number of known compounds formed from reactions of NaCl
and H2O
HOCl NaOCl
ClO2 NaOH
Anode (+) O3 H2 Cathode (-)
Cl2 H2O2 Products
Products O2
OH0, OH+
Through partnership with academia and internal research,
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 ) is the additional oxidant in MOS

19. What is Microflocculation?
Microflocculation is a pretreatment mechanism resulting in:
A reduction in coagulant demand for the same final (filtered water)
turbidity
OR a reduction in final turbidity at the same coagulant demand.
20. Pretreatment with MIOX Mixed Oxidants may
induce the microflocculation effect, which improves:
Coagulation
Flocculation
Settling-clarification
Filtration
These process improvements may:
Reduce chemical costs
Reduce system downtime
Improve system performance
21. MIOX Customers Report:
Larger floc that forms more rapidly, even at
colder temperatures
Heavier floc that is conducive to good settling
compared to chlorine dioxide and chlorine in
pretreatment
Reductions of up to 40% in required coagulant
and flocculent
Reductions of disinfection by-product (DBP)
formation due to better organic precursor
removal
Improved filter run time; reduced down time

23. Biofilm:
Communities of microorganisms encased within an
extracellular polymeric slime (EPS) matrix living on
surfaces.
Typically composed of many
species of microorganisms,
including bacteria fungi, algae
and protozoa.
Difficult to remove once initial
adhesion occurs.
Found in aqueous environments
and are often resistant to disinfection.
Can shelter disease-causing microorganisms, such as
Top Menu
Legionella, Listeria, and temperature resistant bacterial
spores.
24. Field Evidence - MOS Removes Biofilms
from Distribution Systems
Direct (visual)
− Diana WSC in TX, 2 line breaks
occurred simultaneously
− At a KOA campground in Great Falls,
MT, mixed oxidant solution removed
heavy biofilm in 2 weeks and
eliminated coliform hits
Indirect
− More consistent, lower residual at Left: Pipe treated with chlorine alone –
same dose a biofilm slime is visible; only 200 feet
− Lower TTHMs in the distribution from disinfection station.
system Right: Pipe treated with MOS 0.5
miles from disinfection station
