Horticultural Water Treatment Partnership With KSG

Horticultural Water Treatment Solutions with KSG Partnership

Integrated Water Process is proud to announce a horticultural water treatment partnership with Key Solutions Group (KSG).This move strengthens our market presence in the horticulture and Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) industry. Through this agreement, Integrated Water Process gains rights to market and promote PRO-OXINE® Horticulture water treatment solutions and activation systems. This partnership is supported by KSG, a manufacturer’s representative for Kemin Bio Solutions, the producer of PRO-OXINE® Horticulture.

Raising the Standard for Hard, Non-Porous Surface Sanitation and Horticultural Water Treatment

Maintaining a pathogen-free facility and high water-quality standards is essential for maximizing plant health and yield. PRO-OXINE® Horticulture represents a breakthrough in facility hard-surface pathogen control and offers effective water treatment performance for CEA operators.

“This agreement represents a major milestone for Integrated Water Process, allowing us to expand the reach of these powerful horticultural water treatment solutions.”

– Brad Hull, Principal Engineer at Integrated Water Process

“By partnering with Key Solutions Group, we are well-positioned to meet the needs of commercial greenhouse and indoor growers with effective biocide solutions.”

“KSG is excited to support this partnership with Integrated Water Process in the CEA industry.”

– Tom Johnston, President of Key Solutions Group

“This collaboration will equip more growers with the tools to protect their facilities and ultimately enhance efficiency, sustainability, consumer safety, and yield.”

Benefits of PRO-OXINE® Horticulture Water Treatment and Surface Sanitation

PRO-OXINE® Horticulture is a broad-spectrum, chlorine dioxide-based treatment that delivers a powerful yet safe solution for pathogen control, biofilm prevention, and improved root health. This innovative chemistry supports growers by:

Pathogen Control with Horticultural Water Treatment

PRO-OXINE® Horticulture effectively eliminates bacteria, fungi, viruses, and algae in irrigation water systems, surfaces, and tools, thereby preventing the spread of plant diseases such as Pythium, Fusarium, Phytophthora, Botrytis, Rhizoctonia, and Pseudomonas.

Biofilm Prevention and Removal

Biofilm prevention and removal with PRO-OXINE® Horticulture is beneficial in horticulture, especially in irrigation systems and reservoirs. Biofilms harbor harmful bacteria, fungi, and algae, clogging pipes and emitters, consuming valuable dissolved oxygen, and spreading plant diseases. This chemistry penetrates and dissolves biofilms and prevents its regrowth. Keeping hydroponics water systems free from biofilms enhances plant health, reduces disease outbreaks, and promotes optimal growth by delivering clean, oxygen-rich water directly to roots.

Improved Root Health

PRO-OXINE® Horticulture controls bacteria, fungi, and algae in irrigation water while also preventing infections like Pythium and Fusarium, which can severely impact plant growth. Additionally, cleaner water ensures better oxygen availability and nutrient absorption, leading to a healthier rhizome, stronger root development, and overall plant health.

Effective in a Wide pH Range

Unlike Sodium hypochlorite (Bleach), PRO-OXINE® Horticulture remains highly effective across a wide pH range. This pH stability means more consistent pathogen control in various water conditions, including alkaline water sources. It prevents microbial growth without requiring pH adjustments. In hydroponics, where nutrient solutions often fluctuate in pH, ClO₂ maintains its disinfection power and reduces disease risk.

Non-Corrosive at Proper Doses

PRO-OXINE® Horticulture is a highly effective surface disinfectant with relatively low corrosiveness when used at proper concentrations. Unlike traditional chlorine-based disinfectants, which can damage metals and plastics, chlorine dioxides are a safer choice for disinfecting sensitive equipment and surfaces.

Benefits of PRO-OXINE® Horticulture and Activation Systems

PRO-OXINE® Horticulture activation systems provide a safe, efficient, and automated approach to water treatment and surface sanitation. These systems offer:

Consistent and Controlled Dosing of Horticultural Water Treatment

Automated systems ensure accurate PRO-OXINE® Horticulture activation and injection to prevent incorrect dosing.

Hands-Free Activation

Automatic activation systems, such as the AANE™ unit, are ergonomic and require no power. They eliminate the need for manual mixing and dilution, reducing labor requirements and ensuring ease of use.

On-Demand Chlorine Dioxide Production

Eliminates the need to store large amounts of activated chlorine dioxide, improving safety, and reducing chemical degradation over time.

Automated Injection and Metering

Solutions like the EDIE™ unit provide dual injection and automatic chlorine dioxide metering, which eliminates the need for manual mixing.

Improved Safety

Reduces exposure to concentrated chemicals and minimizes handling risks by automating the activation process.

Efficient Operation

By automating PRO-OXINE® Horticulture activation and dosing, activation systems reduce chemical waste, labor costs, and maintenance efforts.
