Low Corrosion Potential

• Michigan State

• An Evaluation of the Corrosive potential

of Oxine®(100 PPM, Activated, pH 3)

• SS, Al, PVC, Cu, and Brass

• Rated from Outstanding to Good

• According to the CDC, up to 15 thousand persons contract Legionnaires’ Disease in the US each year.

• Hospital-acquired Legionnaires Disease originates in hospital water systems.

• Legionella not only persists in hot water tanks, it is found in the bio-film through the entire water distribution system.

Legionella Control

Legionella Control

• Many unsuccessful measures (superheat-and-flush, copper/silver ionization, ultraviolet light, and hyper-chlorination) are directed at water distribution systems to try and reduce the risk of hospital-acquired Legionnaires’ disease.

• Only Oxine® provides immediate and long-term disinfection.

• Oxine® is EPA approved for both pretreatment and final disinfection of potable water.

• Oxine® removes noxious taste and odors as well as disinfectant byproduct precursors that can form THM’s.

• Oxine® provides lasting residual throughout the distribution system.

• Oxine® is ideal for hospital water systems, small water supplies, and cisterns.

Water Quality

• Other oxidizers react mostly on the surface of the bio-film to form an oxidized layer, like charring on wood.

• Oxine® penetrates bio-film by molecular diffusion.

• Oxine® is stable and soluble allowing it to travel to the base of the film where it attacks microorganisms and loosens bio-film at its point of attachment.

Oxine® “is” bio-film control

OLASOn-Line Activation System

Bio-Cide International Inc. developed the system in response to customer needs for non-electric on-line generation/activation of Oxine®.

The unit was designed to be easily adjusted from very low concentrations, for applications such as water treatment, to very high for disinfection. In either case, it remains directly proportional to the volume of water entering the unit, regardless of variations in flow or pressure, which may occur in the water supply line.

Benefits of OLAS• Compact design• Water powered, no electricity needed• Easy to maintain• Reliable performance• Adjustable and accurate concentration levels• Unaffected by changes in water pressure and

flow• On-demand dispensing, eliminates waste

What is BioVex®?

BioVex® is a highly refined blend of oxy-chloro species containing purified sodium chlorite. When combined with it’s specially formulated activator BioVex has vast antimicrobial power

with a NEUTRAL pH. Proven effective against MRSA,VRE,HIV,HCV as a broad-spectrum anti-microbial. This combined

solution can then be used in spray bottles, mop buckets and many other application

methods without the use of gloves, masks or other protective gear.

BioVex® is Effective and Safe• Kills on contact• Neutral pH• Effective against MRSA, VRE, HIV and HEP-

C• Proven Kill-Rate of 99.9999%• Does not require a Potable rinse (spray &

walk away)• EPA approved• Low Toxicity• Non-Caustic

BioVex® is Easy to Use

• BioVex® is an apply and walk away, Neutral pH application . No wiping is necessary. Disinfection is achieved by simply spraying mixed solution onto contaminated areas.

• Use of BioVex® has proven to decrease the spread of viruses in facilities ranging from Hospitals, laboratories,medical facilities, prisons and schools.

BioVex® Uses

• On any non-porous surface.• Fixed Equipment• Visitation Areas• Restrooms• Shower Facilities• Water/Whirlpools• Transportation Vehicles• Rinse for Laundry

Automated Activation and Application Equipment for use with BioVex®

The HVS has your BioVex® product always “ready to use”. No additional dilutions or activation steps are required. Just use the

product straight from the reservoir. The product is dispensed through a convenient

spigot mounted on the reservoir.

High Volume Station

Benefits of BioVex HVS• Eliminates the need for manual mixing and

diluting and insures consistent activation every time.

• Generates a ready to use solution, no need for additional metering equipment.

• Increases efficiency by automatically refilling the solution reservoir with fresh active product as needed, eliminating manual mixing, measuring and spills.

• Low Cost.
