If operating at lower temperatures, the concentration of TwinOxide may be increased to the higher end of the above
scale. Milk deposits and other organic matter should be removed by mechanical means prior to the application of
TwinOxide. Do not mix TwinOxide with acid cleaners. Rinse equipment thoroughly with potable water.
SANITIZING STORAGE TANKS AND PIPELINES: After emptying the tank or pipeline, flush with potable warm water.
Make up TwinOxide per label instructions to create a 3,000 ppm solution. Dilute to 50 ppm in the flush water and
circulate the flush water through the system for 5 to 10 minutes. Use hot water if available, up to 160
F throughout
the entire circulation system. Flush with potable water. Drain. Air dry. Close tanks to protect against contamination.
Do not mix TwinOxide with acid cleaners.
SEPARATORS, STRAINERS, CHURNS, PASTEURIZERS, CANS, AND PAILS: After use rinse with clean water. Wash or
spray with a solution of 50 ppm TwinOxide. Rinse with clean water. Drain and air dry. Do not mix TwinOxide with
acid cleaners. Make up TwinOxide per label instructions to create a 3,000 ppm solution. Dilute to 50 ppm in the
wash or spray water by adding 1 part TwinOxide to 59 parts water.
TRANSPORTATION, LOADING AND HAULING EQUIPMENT: Ship containers, railroad cars, railroad tank cars, trucks,
truck trailers, loading chutes, re-useable crates and other equipment for transportation of animals, meat, produce,
and vegetables should be cleaned and disinfected prior to use. Make up TwinOxide per label instructions to create a
3,000 ppm solution. Dilute to 20 to 50 ppm depending on the degree of contamination. Do not mix TwinOxide with
acid cleaners. Wash, scrub/spray all exposed areas. Pressure-spray or scrub with solution. Expose all surfaces to spray
for a minimum of 2 minutes. Rinse with clean water. Dry before use.
CAR, TRAIN AND TRUCK WASH WATER: TwinOxide is effective at commercial car wash operations and at facilities
engaged in washing trucks, trains, boats and RVs. Waste water is commonly used as the wash water. Waste water
brings problems including pit odor and increased overheads in disposal costs. Make up TwinOxide per label
instructions to create a 3,000 ppm solution. Dilute to 5 ppm depending on the degree of contamination. TwinOxide
will eliminate both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.
OIL & GAS INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS: TwinOxide is effective in the elimination of bacterial and sulfide
contamination commonly found in down hole wells, oil field production, injection and disposal fluids, separators and
pipelines. Eliminates odors caused by bacteria such as, iron eating bacteria and bacteria that cause odor problems
associated with hydrogen sulfide gas. The required dosage levels will vary according to site-specific conditions.
TwinOxide may be applied intermittently or continuously to oil well production water at the point where it is
separated from oil and prior to re-injection back into the well. For continuous feeds, for oxidation of sulfides to
sulfates and for biological control, TwinOxide should be applied at a dosage level slightly higher than the oxidative
demand as determined by a demand study. For intermittent treatment, a dosage rate of 200 to 3,000 ppm. Begin by
making up TwinOxide using Components A and B as per label instructions to produce a 3,000 ppm stock solution.
Dilute TwinOxide down to the required level between 3,000 ppm and 200 ppm to create a working solution.
DISHES, GLASSWARE, SINKS, and UTENSILS: Wash in warm water with 20 ppm TwinOxide solution for a minimum
of 2 minutes. Drain dry. Make up TwinOxide per label instructions to create a 3,000 ppm solution. Dilute to 20 ppm.
As the product is not corrosive at this dosage level it may be used to clean steel, aluminum, silver and other metal
utensils, pans, basins and pots. Do not use TwinOxide in boiling water or steam cleaners/dishwashers. Run-off of
TwinOxide will deodorize drains and prevent biofilm build-up in grease traps.
ORNAMENTAL WATER APPLICATIONS SUCH AS FISH PONDS, FISH FARMS, CULTIVATED SHELLFISH, SHRIMP AND
AQUARIA: TwinOxide has proven effective as an algaestat and against all common water-borne organisms that are
suppressant against fish, both ornamental and food sources. These include Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS). Make
up TwinOxide per label instructions to create a 3,000 ppm solution. Dilute to 0.2 ppm in the target water.
AGRICULTURAL IRRIGATION AND FUNGICIDE: TwinOxide acts as a soil sanitizer and irrigation system biofilm
remover in agricultural, horticultural and viticulture applications. Make up TwinOxide per label instructions to create
a 3,000 ppm solution. Dilute to 0.1 to 0.2 ppm in the irrigation water. TwinOxide is also effective as a fungicide when
used in spray or fog form to eliminate mold from plants, leaves, fruits and grapes.
MILK, WINE, WATER AND WINE BOTTLES: Clean and rinse with 20 ppm solution of TwinOxide prepared with cold or
warm water. Drain thoroughly and air dry. Make up TwinOxide per label instructions to create a 3,000 ppm solution.
Dilute to 20 ppm by adding 1 part TwinOxide to 149 parts water. Do not mix TwinOxide with acid cleaners.
HYDROGEN SULPHIDE SCAVENGING: TwinOxideis an effective scavenger of hydrogen sulfide, whether the hydrogen
sulfide is in a gaseous state or dissolved in water. TwinOxideis also a powerful scavenger of inorganic or organic
sulfides. TwinOxidecan be used in low temperature applications and in high temperatures max. 72C. It is non-
corrosive to equipment and does not form chlorinated hydrocarbons. The dosage rate varies with each location and
local criteria. Determination of the optimum dosage level requires site-specific trial. The average dosage rate is
approximately 2.0 ppm. Make up TwinOxideper label instructions to create a 3,000 ppm solution. Dilute to 2.0 ppm
in the target water to remove the smell problems.
NOX REDUCTION AND EMISSION SCRUBBING: NOX is a precursor to ozone in the atmosphere and is believed to be a
major contributor to acidic deposition (acid rain). NOX is produced in a variety of different processes, including
combustion equipment, gas turbines, incinerators, kilns and power plants. TwinOxide can be used in a wet removal
(stack scrubber) process.
The use of stoichiometric amounts of chlorine dioxide eliminates approximately 95 percent of the NO in the gas in
concentrations of up to at least 24 ppm in less than 2 seconds. TwinOxidesolution eliminates traditional problems
associated with chlorine dioxide production. Use in a scrubber spray at 24 ppm. TwinOxide is non-corrosive to
equipment. Make up TwinOxideper label instructions to create a 3,000 ppm solution. Dilute to the required dosage
level in the scrubber system water for the specific application as per manufacturers instructions.
PULP & PAPER & TEXTILES: TwinOxide has excellent bleaching capacities and applications both in the paper/pulp
and textile industries. TwinOxide allows environmental discharge to be reduced to a minimum. It eliminates harmful
disinfection by-products (HAAs, AOX, THM's and MX). In the textile industry chlorinated materials at high levels must
be prevented from bonding in the textile fibers. TwinOxide solves this problem by eliminating the disinfectant by-
products. Dosage rates depend on the level of bleaching required. In general a dosage rate of 0.05 2.0 ppm is
adequate for all purposes within the industries. Make up TwinOxide per label instructions to create a 3,000 ppm
solution. Dilute to the required dosage level for the specific application as per manufacturers instructions.
