The Tier 1 BIOIONIX BIOSAIF24/7™ chambers utilize electrolysis to destroy pathogens (>5  to 7 Log) in the passing liquid stream. This process leverages reactive oxygen species (ROS) for the electrochemical inactivation of microorganisms. Due to their high oxidation potential, under typical conditions, ROS are more effective disinfectants than chlorine against microorganisms.

The in-chamber disinfectants produced surpass industry standards (even without salt), thanks to a patented design that charges the liquid stream throughout the chamber’s length. This is essential for partners seeking to reuse process water. The liquid stream provides continued disinfection with HOCl supporting manufacturing processes. Additionally, a loop system recirculates the liquid stream for further disinfection, ensuring the absence of microbials. Freshly generated disinfectant is vital for supporting subsequent process tiers, and when the liquid stream returns to Tier 1, complete pathogen elimination is achieved again through electrolysis and ROS.

TIP:

Did you know that ROS are highly effective in lower temperatures as well. Processors reliant on chemicals or heated processes for a kill step can save time, money and water with a recondition loop for disinfection.
