Oxidant Tank with Lid
The oxidant tank is where the oxidant solution generated from the OSG is stored for later distribution.
The tank should be constructed of a sodium hypochlorite-resistant material and should not exceed a
wall thickness of 1/8” (3.5mm) to insure proper installation of level switches. The tank should be sized to
store your maximum 48 hour usage.
Oxidant Inlet
The oxidant inlet has two purposes. First, it acts as the inlet to the oxidant storage tank to transfer the
Mixed Oxidant Solution generated from the OSG. Second, it acts as the primary vent for the hydrogen
gas generated during the electrolytic process.
Oxidant Outlet
The oxidant outlet is where solution is distributed to the application.
Failure to properly seal the oxidant outlet from the OSG to the oxidant inlet of the oxidant
tank may result in hydrogen gas leaking into the environment around the OSG.
Overflow Port
The overflow port acts as a safety measure in the event that the level switching fails, preventing Mixed
Oxidant Solution from flowing back into the OSG.
Drop Tube Assembly
The drop tube assembly separates hydrogen gas from the mixed oxidant solution.
Tank Hydrogen Vent
The tank hydrogen vent acts as a secondary vent for hydrogen gas generated during the electrolytic
process.
Failure to provide appropriate hydrogen venting may result in explosions in the oxidant
tank. Follow all instructions in the MIOX Hydrogen Safety White Paper to prevent any
hydrogen safety issues.
Safety Labels
Safety labels are provided to warn anyone nearby of the possible dangers and necessary precautions.
Level Switch Cable Assembly
The level switch cable assembly measures when the oxidant level is low or has reached maximum
capacity. This measurement is communicated to the OSG, telling it when to run and when to turn off.
Note: This sensor is orientation-sensitive and must be installed with the arrow facing upward or it will
not function properly. Refer to page 7 of this manual for additional information.
