What is HiPOx – Advanced Oxidation Process for Water Treatment
HiPOx is a patented, continuous, in-line, plug-flow, advanced oxidation process for water treatment (AOP) with innovative injection and mixing techniques that utilizes hydrogen peroxide and ozone to efficiently create hydroxyl radicals (OH•) that destroy organic compounds while minimizing bromate formation
HiPOx Chemistry
Generation of Hydroxyl Radicals
2 O3 + H2O2 
2 OH● + 3 O2
Reaction is diffusion-limited, but fast with HiPOx
Destruction of Organic Compounds
Hydroxyl Radical (OH•) is strongest oxidant used in water treatment
Hydroxyl Radical is non-selective and reacts fast with many compounds
