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
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
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
