"Log-Kill" Data (geometry, power) Power A Concentration & duration of 3.5 5 mg/L mixed oxidant dose as FAC Power B other oxidants depends on: Power C 3.0 Power D ► Cell Configuration 2.5 Power E ► Power ► Fluid Flow 2.0 ► Fluid Concentration inactivation, "log kill" 1.5 ► Time in Cell ► Temperature 1.0 ► Cell Coating 0.5 ► and more . . . 0.0 The combination of factors leading Cryptosporidium Cryptosporidium to optimal oxidant efficacy and Ge om e try duration is a key trade secret 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 (-) Cl H O Products 2 2 2 Products O2 OH0, OH+
Through partnership with academia and internal research,
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 ) is the additional oxidant in MOS Mixed Oxidant Solution (MOS) Benefits and Advantages
► Superior Disinfection
► Superior Biofilm Removal
► Superior Residual Maintenance
► Superior (lower) Disinfection By-Product Formation
► Potential Microflocculation Effect • Can reduce chemical costs and improve water quality
