HOW IT WORKS ON-DEMAND CHEMISTRY
Utilizing food grade salt, MIOX on-site chemical generators (OSG) create MIOX offers two different types of on-site chemical generators.
HYPO + PEROXIDE
advanced disinfectant at the point of use; eliminating the delivery, storage Our sodium hypochlorite (HYPO) systems are engineered to
and handling of hazardous chemicals. MIOX system can be fed directly into provide the absolute lowest cost and
the tower sump or injected into the circulation loop from a buffer tank. The most reliable bleach available on the
MIOX OSG can be controlled by the existing control system on site, ORP or market. In contrast, our Mixed
chlorine analyzer, and can be linked to DCS or SCADA. Oxidant Solution (MOS) systems are
engineered for maximum
BOOSTER PUMP disinfection efficacy through
proprietary cell design, control of
power and cell geometry.

INCREASED SAFETY &

MICROBIAL CONTROL AT HIGH pH
A district cooling service in downtown Chicago had a problem with algae and biofilm growth in the cooling tower
basin. The facility wanted to improve safety and biological control without increasing the use of existing biocides
which included sodium hypochlorite and isothiazolin. A MIOX Mixed Oxidant Solution (MOS) generator was
installed, eliminating the transportation, handling and storage of 28,000 lbs of hazardous chemicals per year.
Biofilm and algae were eliminated within 2 weeks. The facility maintained low bacterial counts and decreased
operating costs, all without degrading the existing scale and corrosion inhibitors.

Since this initial installation, Thermal Chicago has upgraded many of their district cooling systems with MIOX
on-site chemical generators for treating cooling water.

1900MW POWER PLANT ELIMINATES BIOFILM

The Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) was using a tri-cocktail of sodium hypochlorite,
sodium bromide, and an algaecide to treat water supplied to four power plant cooling towers. A new MIOX
on-site chemical generation system yielded improved summer operation and substantial chemical cost
savings with a return on investment (ROI) in less than 36 months.

After upgrading to a MIOX Mixed Oxidant Solution (MOS) system, NIPSCO’s Senior Chemist said “the U15
condenser was cleaner than we’d ever seen it before, and there isn’t any other change in the system to
explain these results, other than the conversion to this new biocide system.” BEFORE AFTER

7% INCREASE MW PRODUCTION
THROUGH BIOFILM REMOVAL
A power plant in Puerto Rico was using straight hypochlorite for their cooling tower, which was not effective
at controlling biological growth. Plant heat exchangers were plugged and temperature rose above
manufacturers specifications due to biofouling of the condenser tube sheets which inhibited effective heat
transfer. MIOX’s Puerto Rico channel partner, NTS, installed a MIOX chemical generator at the power plant
cooling tower and started treating the water with Mixed Oxidant Solution (MOS) chemistry. PREPA
witnessed an immediate improvement in temperature and the energy load of the plant started to increase.

After upgrading to a MIOX Mixed Oxidant Solution (MOS) system, PREPA’s Chief Chemist said “efficiencies gain
at this plant alone results in overall savings of roughly $3.4 million a year.”
