CONTROL TEST ZEQUANOX
The observation of the effects produced by the control treatments, added to the uncertainty of the medium / long term impact, both with chemical products and with other electronic or physical ones, force us to carry out safety tests before carrying out the application control in the affected installation.
These safety tests, in addition to checking that the physico-chemical conditions of the water remain unchanged after treatment, will allow us to verify that the applied products do not affect non-target species (native fauna and flora). |
This procedure applied by Technoymar Soluciones and Ecowater Technologies, called Ecowater Innova, is carried out through biobox tests, located "on site" and in real time. That is, in the installations where the applications must be made. These tests carried out "in loco" with all the guarantees, will avoid the possible alterations of the results obtained in laboratory controls, because of displacements, inadequate treatment of the samples, or any other incident, besides significantly reducing the costs of these operations .
Safety trials will be conducted in relation to source water and native species, control of the physico-chemical properties of water and impact on other non-target specimens. |
The safety tests will measure in bioboxes, the following parameters in relation to raw water:
During the treatment time, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity and total organic carbon will be measured. These water quality parameters and efficacy results are compared with different locations to identify differences in the efficacy of MBI-401 due to environmental conditions. Standard data on water quality will be collected before and after treatment to assess whether there have been changes in water quality due to treatment. The water quality parameters to be tested will include total organic carbon (TOC), biological oxygen demand (BOD), temperature and turbidity. In relation to the native species, they will be subjected to control for a period of not less than three days (equal control period than that applied to raw water). |
After years of work dedicated to establish friendly methods with the natural environment and the preservation of species, as well as the protection of infrastructures, the Ecowater Innova method consists of carrying out treatments with non-aggressive elements with the aquatic environment and native species, prior the safety test with direct tests in biobox, in the facility under treatment. After the optional report that the action performed in biobox (usually 3 days), offers the guarantees of safety and efficiency, you can start the treatment in the affected facility.
This procedure guarantees that the application used does not entail secondary and collateral effects, which will allow us to act with minimal risks of contamination and degradation of the original conditions of the elements affected by the treatment. Ecowater Innova, in close collaboration with Marrone Bio innovation, has developed, after 4 years of work (laboratory and field), in the USA, Canada, Spain and currently in Brazil, this preliminary procedure absolutely necessary to establish application standards that guarantee that the controls applied are in accordance with legal regulations, protect the aquatic environment, do not affect the native species and preserve the infrastructures. |
