CoolTech Gulf, a leading water quality and mechanical services provider in the region has announced a partnership with MIOX Corporation, making CoolTech Gulf the first company in the Middle East to bring MIOX® mixed oxidants, a unique disinfectant for the treatment of commercially and domestically used water, to the Middle East.

Peter Tracey, General Manager, CoolTech Gulf said, “We are happy to be offering MIOX water disinfection in the region. CoolTech Gulf has always strived to introduce and implement innovative technologies that enhance effectiveness and ensure maximum customer satisfaction. The MIOX technology is an advanced method of disinfection which offers advantages over other traditional disinfection alternatives such as ozone, chlorine dioxide, chlorine, bromine and ultra-violet (UV). It is extremely effective and offers superior disinfection, improves oxidation, improves taste, reduces odor, improves bio-film control and eliminates algae.”

The mixed oxidant solution (MOS) used in the MIOX system is extremely safe, non-hazardous and cost-effective. It controls slime, algae and bacteria and therefore reduces corrosion potential. It uses salt, water and power to generate on-site oxidants, eliminating the use and transportation of toxic chemicals. The benign raw materials are comparatively inexpensive and easily handled.

Tracey added, “Our primary focus is water quality services and water recycling, within which water disinfection has significant importance. The MIOX MOS water treatment system has a number of benefits over conventional treatment solutions and can very easily be integrated into our existing systems. By offering MIOX, we can generate, monitor and control, dose, service and manage the entire system, whether it is a cooling tower, potable water system or a swimming pool.”

MIOX marks a step forward for water disinfection in the region. In addition to being environment-friendly, extremely effective and efficient, it provides a better return on investment.

Bob Newton, MIOX Vice President Industrial Sales commented, “We are pleased to be working together with CoolTech Gulf to bring advanced mixed oxidant technology to the Middle East. We see tremendous opportunity for on-site generation in the region; partnering with CoolTech will allow us to leverage their experience and success in the industry.  We look forward to our work together on Reef Island launching us into a bright future.”
