chemical load (measured in FAC) as compared to sodium Hypochlorite, and is thus not harmful for the environment or human beings. Because NEW effectively destroys microorganisms, they cannot build up resistance to NEW as they can to other sanitizers and disinfectants. Standard toxic chemicals can create strains of pathogens that become resistant over time, because the cell can expel or neutralize the chemical before it can kill it, thereby causing the overall efficacy of chemical cleaners and disinfectants to be significantly reduced. NEW offers an environmentally sound alternative to chlorine and other oxidizing biocides. NEW is proven to be more effective in killing bacteria, noroviruses, molds and other microbiological organisms than Chlorine* alone and yet remains benign enough to ingest in concentrated form. (*Hydrochloride) NEW is by chemical content nearly identical to the active components found in common chemical bactericidal agents. However, unlike the extremely toxic substances, such as chloramines, formaldehyde or iodine, the active components of NEW are non-toxic, non-irritant, biologically harmless and ecologically safe. Because of its neutral pH, NEW does not aggressively contribute to the corrosion of processing equipment or irritation of hands, and is more stable due to the fact that chlorine loss is significantly reduced at pH 6-9. NEW has a high Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP, expressed in millivolts). ORP correlates to the level of sanitizing ability of treated water irrespective of the kind of disinfectant used. For example, any water which is treated to have an ORP of >500mV for more than approximately one hour would be assured of being free of E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella and other pathogens. The high ORP levels of >800 mV found in NEW are possible due to the elimination of caustic chemicals. This feature of NEW allows for a higher level of ORP than disinfectants such as Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl), for example. When caustic Sodium Hypochlorite is used, it also simultaneously raises the pH of water and thereby dramatically reduces its efficacy (ORP). When NEW is used, the pH of water is not raised, but is slightly lowered, and its ORP remains stable or is enhanced. Electrochemically synthesized reagents, such as the neutral electrolyzed water of NEW©, are gaining rapid popularity in a number of applications. Not only does this technology offer a cost-effective alternative to existing technologies, but it is also contributing to the protection of the environment. Advantages of electrochemically-synthesized reagents include: These reagents are synthesized from diluted solutions of inorganic salts. This is in contrast to traditional chemical reagents, which are prepared by dissolving corrosive acids and alkalis Important parameters such as pH and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) are manipulated by variation of the salt mixture. To achieve a similar level of manipulation for traditional chemical reagents, additional chemical compounds have to be added Since these reagents are manufactured on-site, transportation costs are eliminated. This is in contrast to the use of traditional chemicals, which may require timely planning, purchasing and proper storage infrastructure Because these reagents are produced by an environmentally safe technology, there is no need for neutralization or purification prior to use as with traditional chemical technologies All water disinfections will result in the formation of disinfections by-products. NEW is no exception, but has the advantage that it does not contain the hydroxl ion and will oxidize organic material to form lower levels of chlorates, thus reducing halogenated by-products. The inorganic by-products, (trihalomethanes, THMs, chlorite, chlorate and chloride ions) formed when NEW is used are held in balance at much lower levels. Thus, lower disinfections by- products are produced in the process, at a level of about 30% - 50% when compared with sodium Hypochlorite and other oxidants. 4.1.1 Comparison of NEW to Chlorine Chlorine is currently the most widely used oxidizing biocide. It is a powerful oxidant and is used in bleaching and disinfectants. The use of chlorine as a micro-biocide and water disinfectant is declining because of safety, environmental and community impact considerations. According to the MSDS for chlorine, this chemical is highly toxic, corrosive, and may be fatal if inhaled. It is considered to be a marine pollutant, and in the upper atmosphere, chlorine atoms have been implicated in destruction of the ozone layer. An environmentally sound alternative to chlorine and other oxidizing biocides is needed. 9|PagePDF Image | Neutral Electrolyzed Water
