Technology Overview and Detail
The Water Security water purification technology set includes two proprietary technologies, MCV® Iodinated resin and our iodine scrubber, Iodosorb®.
- MCV® Iodinated resin is a slow release resin, capable of sustaining
a predictable release of iodine into incoming water over a long period of
time (release versus time is called Elution).
The long, predictable elution curve of this product makes it perfect for cartridge-based water treatment systems. It is truly a “fire and forget” technology, with simple spin-on cartridge replacement at prescribed total treated water volumes. And, the spent cartridges are completely landfill safe. - Water Security’s™ Iodosorb® Scrubber is also a resin-based product.
It has an affinity for all species of iodine (iodine changes species when
used). Because its architecture is such that it works when water is passed
over it, it to is ideal for cartridge-based water treatment systems.
Like MCV®, Iodosorb® is also a fire and forget technology that is safe for landfill disposal after use. - Finally, the Water Security™ technology package can be engineered to leave a small residual of iodine disinfectant in the product water, to guard against regrowth of pathogenic organisms during shipment and storage prior to use.
