Titanium AOP – Hydroxyl Radicals
kill all organisms and destroy
organic matter

BrightWater Titanium Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP)

an environmentally friendly, chemical-free disinfection and water purification system

The AOP system is a method of disinfecting and purifying water without the use of chemicals that has become established and grown in use rapidly throughout Europe and the Far East. The process has been shown to provide an exceptional capacity to kill water borne microorganism as well as to decompose the resulting organic matter. It has started to revolutionise the way in which water treatment is being conducted around the world.

Until now if high killing rates needed to be achieved unstable “high maintenance” chemical systems such as Ozone were required. Now the user has the option of using Titanium AOP that offers the highest killing rates but does so in a chemical free, simple to maintain and environmentally friendly package.

Titanium AOP – the water sterilisation system designed to destroy Legionella and harmful organisms while preventing the formation of bio-films

The AOP system has been tested specifically on Legionella Pneumophila grown in live Amoebae and has demonstrated the highest possible test results of a log reduction 6. It is also demonstrating its killing ability on numerous sites where improved results are being achieved over traditional biocide and chemical systems.

Biofilm is naturally occurring phenomenon, which appears on virtually all material surfaces at the material/water interface. Biofilm itself consists of huge variety of microorganisms which thrive in warm water environments. Biofilm builds because the resident bacteria feeds on nutrients in the water and grows, also as new bacteria enter the system they add to the existing bacterial film.

The AOP has a marked effect on biofilm in 2 key ways:

• Firstly by oxidising and therefore destroying the new bacteria which would add to the established biofilm.
• Secondly by oxidising the organic matter entering the system that bacteria in the biofilm feed upon.
• The chemistry at work is explained here.

The result is that the AOP starves the biofilm and destroys its future building blocks. Take the tour of the AOP product.
