In 2019 De Nora, a global leader in electrochemical technologies and the world’s largest provider of electrodes, coatings and complete solutions for electrochemical processes, has acquired MIOX. MIOX designs and manufactures equipment that generates disinfection chemistry on-demand using salt, water and electricity. MIOX offers two different types of on-site chemical generators: Our sodium hypochlorite (HYPO) systems are engineered to provide the absolute lowest cost and most reliable bleach available on the market. In contrast, Mixed Oxidant Solution (MOS) systems are engineered for the maximum disinfection efficacy through proprietary cell design, control of power and cell geometry. Applications include industrial cooling tower water, municipal drinking water treatment, municipal and industrial waste water treatment, aquatics disinfection, food & beverage clean-in-place (CIP), oil & gas applications including offshore (sulphate removal process), enhanced oil recovery, produced water treatment and frac water treatment. On-site generated disinfectants by MIOX are a great alternate to chlorine dioxide, UV, isothiazolin, stabilized bromine, glutaraldehyde and other proprietary biocides. MIOX invests deeply in technology and intellectual property, and regularly partners with new industries to develop solutions to meet their unique disinfection needs. MIOX holds 25 current patents on their technology, with several patents pending and numerous provisional patents. MIOX also protects several trade secrets focused on electrolytic chemistry, electrolytic cell design and control, electrolysis know-how, and on-site generation design. Most notably, in the past year MIOX has patented several novel electrolytic chemistries which have an enormous potential for making the world a better place. With thousands of MIOX installations in over 50 countries, MIOX systems are treating more than 7 billion gallons of water per day and serving millions of people worldwide.
