How JC 9450/9465 Removes Biofilm and Improves System Efficiency

Company History & Development

  • Jenfitch, Inc. was formed in 2008 to manufacturer and market water treatment chemicals
  • JC 9450 is a new strong oxidizer, based around the research on mineral oxychloride chemistry that was first developed in the early 1900’s. In the late 20th Century, tools to measure this technology became commercially available and JC 9450 was commercially available from 2013 for: proof of concept studies, plant trials, and laboratory studies and is currently in the marketplace.
  • Mr. Charles Jennings, owner & General Manager, is leading the research teams and marketing teams to develop JC 9450

JC 9450 – New Oxidant

JC 9450 is a new oxidative technology for generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) that simulate an advance oxidation process (AOP) as a tool to measure disinfection effectiveness in water treatment solutions.

In the past water treatment professionals have been looking for ways to provide safe drinking water effectively

What does JC 9450 offer?

Today the World Health Organization recommends that water is safe at an ORP greater than +750mV

The laws currently being written recommend the use of Langlier Index (LI) to monitor corrosion and water quality using Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) as a way of maintaining safe water standards.

Current EPA guidelines are being discussed to include ORP measurement (as mV) and LI as a matrix for water quality control.

JC 9450 is a low-cost producer of hydroxyl radical ions. JC 9450 is a very strong oxidant with a high concentration of oxidative energy; and it has a higher electronic footprint (Ev) vs a chemical footprint that other oxidants.

Electrochemical Potential (Ev)
a measurement of oxidative energy

JC 9450 is 2.8 to 2.9 Ev

Ozone is 2.07 Ev

Sodium Hypochlorite is 0.94 Ev

Chlorine Dioxide is 1.57 Ev

Chlorine Gas is 1.36 Ev

Why is ORP Important to Disinfection

Measures energy available for disinfection

Measures contact time required for disinfection

Optimizing treatment based on system demand

This chart is based on using free available chlorine as a benchmark and reflects only a 4-log reduction vs time

JC 9450/9465 vs Chlorine

  • JC 9450 can achieve a six-log reduction in less than 10 seconds @ 700+ mV or higher
  • JC 9450 outperforms chlorine at a lower dosage (using ORP and dosage as measurement)
  • JC 9450 is not pH dependent, and has a higher ORP going beyond Chlorine (equivalent dosages)

Takes too long to kill pathogens Requires more chlorine for less results Is an explosive gas and corrosive

Handling Properties of JC 9450/9465

  • Liquid requires rubber gloves, face shield, shirt with sleeves
  • Corrosive in undiluted form, will freeze
  • Six Month Shelf-life vs 30 day for NaHOCL

Installation

Installation of this technology takes less than 30 minutes and requires no additional equipment

  • Simple to use and monitor
  • Low capital investment
  • Easy installation and used in multiple applications in the water treatment facility
Metering pump & drum at injection
site regular containment

Let’s get started

  • Plant trials partnerships
    • Municipal Water Treatment Pilot
    • Wastewater Treatment Pilots
    • Desalination Studies
    • Water Recycle and Reuse Projects
  • Pilot Studies partnership
    • Controlling Biofilm in the distribution system
    • Lowering or reducing the formation of TTHM’s and HAA5’s
    • Lowering or reducing iron and manganese
    • Lowering or eliminating Taste and Odor complaints
    • Eliminating the influence of zebra mussels
  • Earning Contact Time (CT) Credit as a primary disinfectant

Summary

  • We want to run more pilot studies in water systems impacted by THM’s and HAA5’s
  • We are looking for water plants with T & O complaints
  • We want to demonstrate biofilm removal
  • We want to do a study on removal Zebra Mussels

JC 9465: The Best Algaecide and Biocide on the market

At Jenfitch, we have created an algaecide that is now EPA Registered which has demonstrated it can help improve water quality in countless applications. We have used our product JC 9465 in several applications to confirm its efficacy in these applications. Our studies have shown remarkable results by eliminating algae and biofilm formations.

ORP (Oxidative Reduction Potential) is a very important measurement for killing bacteria and pathogens

The United Nations World Health Organization has stated that for water quality to be safe from all microorganisms, it must have an ORP above +700mV. Chlorine is a common product used to deal with algae and biofilm. The Environmental Protection Agency studies have shown chlorine takes over 30 minutes to achieve a 4-log removal. With JC 9465, when we reach an ORP +700mV, we achieve a 6-log removal in only 10 seconds and remove biofilm while using a significantly lower volume of chemicals.

As you can see below, we took a sample of algae-laden/infested water from a local water plant treatment influent in California. We used JC 9465 to treat this water at 10 ppm which was more than enough for our desired result. Below is a “Before” and “After” treatment with JC 9465.

We are continually looking to help others who have problems with their water quality. At another treatment plant, we encountered another instance of biofilm and algae causing an unwanted buildup in their potable water plant’s clarifiers (Martinez, California). We took samples of their water to run tests and determine the required dosage of JC 9465. Our results impressed the plant operator and we immediately started feeding JC 9465. Below is the visual outcome of using JC 9465 in this municipal water treatment plant.

As you can see, we were able to remove significant quantities of algae and biofilm deposits. This potable water treatment plant saw other significant improvements: improved filtered water turbidity, lower chlorine consumption, lower THM’s formation, longer filter run time between backwashing and lower treatment cost.
